Abstract:
A directional backlight unit and a three-dimensional (3D) image display device including the directional backlight unit are provided. The directional backlight unit includes: a light guide plate, a light source configured to irradiate an incident surface of the light guide plate with a plurality of color lights, and a grating that includes a sub-grating configured to react to all of the plurality of color lights. The directional backlight unit may further include a color filter that corresponds to a plurality of color lights emitted from each sub-grating.
Abstract:
A directional backlight unit is provided, including a light guide plate, a light source, and a grating that is formed on a light-emitting surface of the light guide plate. The grating is configured such that an intensity of one ray of light, of the light irradiated by the light source and diffracted and emitted by the grating, is greater than a sum of intensities of all other rays of light, of the light irradiated by the light source and diffracted and emitted by the grating.

A liquid crystal display includes a light source unit, a first substrate provided on the light source unit, an electrode layer provided on the first substrate, a second substrate separate from the electrode layer, a polarizing plate provided on a surface of the second substrate, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the electrode layer and the second substrate, a reflecting unit provided on a surface of the first substrate; and a wire grid polarizer provided on an opposite surface of the first substrate.
Abstract:
Provided are head-up display apparatuses and operating methods thereof. The head-up display apparatus simultaneously outputs a plurality of object images on different regions from each other on a screen, generates, by using an optical characteristic, depth information with respect to the object images to sequentially change depth information of at least two of the object images, and converges the object images having depth information and the reality environment into a single region by changing at least one of an optical path of the object images having the depth information and an optical path of the reality environment.
Abstract:
Provided are a directional backlight unit and an image display apparatus including the same. The directional backlight unit includes at least one light source, a light guide plate arranged at a side of the at least one light source and configured to guide light emitted from the at least one light source by total reflection, a plurality of diffraction gratings arranged in a pattern at a surface of the light guide plate and configured to diffract the light and to emit the light diffracted by the plurality of diffraction gratings at a predetermined angle from a front surface; and a mirror arranged at a rear surface of the light guide plate and configured to reflect the light diffracted by the plurality of diffraction gratings toward the light guide plate, the rear surface of the light guide plate being opposite to the front surface of the light guide plate.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a pattern structure includes preparing a wafer that has a plurality of fine patterns, generating a first trench by processing the wafer from a first surface to a first depth, and generating a second trench connected to the first trench by processing the wafer from a second surface which is opposite to the first surface to a second depth, thereby cutting the wafer.
Abstract:
