Abstract:
An acousto-optical device includes a light waveguide path formed on an acousto-optical substrate, a transducer which crosses the light waveguide path and propagates a surface acoustic wave along the light waveguide path, and a buffer layer provided so that finger electrodes of the transducer are spaced apart from the light waveguide path in crossing portions in which the finger electrodes cross the light waveguide path. The finger electrodes have other portions which directly contact the substrate.
Abstract:
This is an electro-optic modulator having an electro-optic substrate such as lithium niobate, an optical waveguide defined within the substrate, an electrode structure including a microwave transmission line elevated from the substrate by conductive legs. In one embodiment, a low-dielectric constant buffer layer is disposed between the substrate and the transmission line. The conductive legs extend from the transmission line to a surface of the substrate toward the waveguide, through the buffer layer. The microwave transmission line is elevated from the substrate at a distance such that the electrical propagation velocity is at a maximum. The high electrical velocity is offset by a loading capacitance introduced by the conductive legs which slows the electrical velocity down on the transmission line to match the optical velocity. Pairs of opposing conductive legs provide a strong electric field for modulating the optical signal.

The disclosure relates to a display panel, a method of manufacturing a display panel, and a display device. The display panel includes a first polarizer, an array substrate and a color film substrate that are sequentially stacked. The array substrate includes a binding region. A first sealing adhesive is filled between the binding region and the first polarizer, covers an end of a flexible circuit board away from a mainboard, and covers the binding region, which avoids using a decorative member, reduces a wide frame of a fourth side of the display panel, and increases a real frameless display effect.

The display device also includes a plurality of binders fixed to the rear surface of the display panel and disposed between the display panel and the frame, and a plurality of coupling members penetrating through the frame and coupled to the plurality of binders. Therefore, the flatness of the display panel attached to the plurality of binders may be improved by adjusting the locations of the frame and the plurality of binders. Also, the display panel and the frame may be easily attached and detached using the plurality of binders and the plurality of coupling members.
