摘要:
A multi-clad black display panel (10), and a method of making a multi-clad black display panel, are disclosed, wherein a plurality of waveguides (16a), each of which includes a light-transmissive core placed between an opposing pair of transparent cladding layers and a black layer disposed between transparent cladding layers, are stacked together and sawed at an angle to produce a wedge-shaped optical panel having an inlet face (12) and on outlet face (16).
摘要:
An ultrathin optical panel (10), and a method of producing an ultrathin optical panel, are disclosed, including staking a plurality of glass sheets (10a), which sheets may be coated with a transparent cladding substance or may be uncoated, fastening together the plurality of stacked coated glass sheets (10a) using an epoxy or ultraviolet adhesive, applying uniform pressure to the stack, curing the stack, sawing the stack to form an inlet face (20) on a side of the stack and an outlet face (24) on an opposed side of the stack, bonding a coupler (16) to the inlet face of the stack, and fastening the stack, having the coupler (16) bonded thereto, within a rectangular housing having an open front which is aligned with the outlet face (24), the rectangular housing (14) having therein a light generator (12) which is optically aligned with the coupler (16). The light generator (12) is preferably placed parallel to and proximate with the inlet face (20), thereby allowing for a reduction in the depth of the housing (14).
