Abstract:
A beam direction control element has transparent areas and light absorption areas alternately arranged on a surface of a substrate, wherein the light absorption areas function as a louver for controlling the direction of a beam of light. The beam direction control element is manufactured by disposing an optically transparent material on a first transparent substrate to form transparent ridges which constitute the transparent areas, filling curable and photo-absorptive fluid in gaps between the transparent ridges, and then curing the fluid to form the light absorption areas.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display is provided which is capable of improving a quality of a displayed image made up of a moving image and a static image in a mixed manner. By arranging backlights and by dividing one frame of a video input signal into four frame blocks and by getting a moving image detecting circuit to judge whether an image for each of the frame blocks is a moving image or a static image and having a lighting timing duty control section get the backlight corresponding to an image for the frame block having been judged to be a moving image to flash and also get the backlight corresponding to an image for the frame block having been judged to be a static image to be turned ON all the time, occurrence in an image retention phenomenon or a blur of an edge is reduced when a moving image is to be displayed and occurrence of a flicker is eliminated when a static image is to be displayed, which enables improvements in a quality of a displayed image.
Abstract:
By using a photosensitive organic film, an uneven layer for forming a reflective electrode of a reflective region of a transflective liquid crystal display device and a protrusion for multi-division alignment of liquid crystals are concurrently formed. The heights of the uneven layer and of the protrusion are adjusted by using accumulated amounts of light to which the photosensitive organic film is exposed. The uneven layer can be used as an adjusting layer for adjusting the thickness of a liquid crystal layer.
Abstract:
In a liquid crystal display panel using spherical spacers, plural recessed parts are formed on at least one of inner surfaces of a pair of substrates. The recessed parts are located on light-shielding areas of the panel. In particular, plural kinds of spherical spacers having different diameters are disposed on the recessed parts, or plural kinds of recessed parts having different depths are formed on the inner surface of the substrates.
Abstract:
Provided is a back light unit of an edge light type, including at least a light guiding plate, a lamp, a reflection sheet and a reflector. The lamp is disposed on the side surface side of the light guiding plate. The reflection sheet is disposed on the back surface side of the light guiding plate. The reflector supports the reflection sheet from the back surface of the reflection sheet, and reflects light from the lamp towards the light guiding plate. The back light unit has a structure in which the reflection sheet is caused to come into contact with a ridge where the side surface of the light guiding plate and the back surface thereof meet, by curving an end of the reflection sheet on the side of the light source towards the side of the light guiding plate.
Abstract:
A display device, capable of changing view angle range and suitable for reducing thickness and weight, is provided. One compensating panel has such a structure that two polymer films, having birefringence, adhere to each other. The birefringence directions of the polymer films are parallel or orthogonal to the liquid crystal orientation direction. Similarly, another compensating panel has such a structure that two polymer films, having birefringence, adhere to each other. The birefringence directions of the polymer films are parallel or orthogonal to the liquid crystal orientation direction. Since the compensating panel does not include glass substrates but includes polymer films, the display device can be thin and light.
Abstract:
A method of processing an organic film pattern formed on a substrate, includes, in sequence of, a fusion/deformation step of fusing and thereby deforming the organic film pattern, and a third removal step of removing at least a part of the fused and deformed organic film pattern.
Abstract:
A gravure printing plate is arranged on a stage, and recessions formed in the gravure printing plate are filled with photosensitive ink. The ink fills the recessions by being placed on an end of the gravure printing plate and being wiped with a blade. The gravure printing plate is then heated while the gravure printing plate is irradiated with UV light from the bottom side of the stage, thereby curing the lower stratum of the ink in the recessions. A blanket is then pressed against the gravure printing plate, and rotated to accept the ink filling the recessions. The ink accepted onto the blanket is then transferred to a transparent substrate, effecting printing of the color filter. It is accordingly possible to print a color filter having a color filter layer with a highly accurate pattern configuration, without any contaminant matter being transferred to the color filter layer.
Abstract:
An edge-light type backlight unit reduces the color unevenness on the display screen caused by the arrangement of point-shaped light sources (e.g., LEDs) in a point-shaped light source unit comprising a set of point-shaped light sources aligned. The backlight unit includes at least one point-shaped light source unit having point-shaped light sources arranged in a single direction in a predetermined order, the light sources emitting monochromatic light of different colors. The unit further comprises a first optical filter for limiting or controlling transmission of the monochromatic light emitted from one of the light sources disposed at one end of the light source unit, and a second optical filter for limiting or controlling transmission of the monochromatic light emitted from another of the light sources disposed at the other end thereof. The first and second filters are selectively formed on a first or second light guide plate or a diffusing plate.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a liquid crystal display device 10 and a method of making such liquid crystal display device that improves display quality by providing heat dissipation pattern 4 for effectively dissipating heat generated by the driver ICs 2. The heat dissipation pattern 4 is formed on a glass substrate of a liquid crystal panel 1 along one side thereof so as to minimize non-uniform thermal distribution on the liquid crystal panel 1 at locations adjacent to and distant from the driver ICs 2.
