Abstract:
The present invention discloses an optical-fiber-block assembly for minimizing stress concentration. The optical-fiber-block assembly is comprised of a fiber-alignment area mounted with a plurality of V-grooves at which optical fibers are disposed and a stress-relief-depth area extending from the fiber-alignment area and formed by etching the fiber-alignment area deeper by a predetermined amount, for relieving stress that is caused by the coating thickness of the fiber, wherein the fiber-alignment area further includes: (a) a first fiber-alignment area having a first V-grooves with a constant width for receiving the bare fibers, such that the first fiber-alignment area do not contact the external side of the bare fiber, and (b) a second fiber-alignment area having a second V-grooves with a constant width extending from the first V-grooves for receiving the bare fiber, wherein the width of the first V-grooves is substantially wider than the width of the second V-grooves.

A variable-focus liquid lens is provided. The liquid lens includes a membrane and a fluid. The membrane is made of a transparent elastomer, and the fluid fills a predetermined space to contact at least a lens surface of the membrane. The membrane and the fluid are respectively made of materials repulsive to each other, for example, hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials or oleophilic and oleophobic materials. Accordingly, a repulsive force between the fluid and the membrane can prevent the absorption or leaking of the fluid into/through the membrane.

A printing control apparatus includes a user interface driver to provide a security preview setup screen such that security preview options for each object are selected when a call signal is transmitted from a graphic device interface according to a print request signal input from an application program and a previewer to divide objects through the security preview setup screen and to secure a corresponding one of the objects when the security preview options are set so as to perform preview. A preview screen upon which security options for each object are set is displayed, thereby preventing malicious use and easily achieving security intended by a user.
Abstract:
Micro-shutter device applicable to display devices including a flexible display device and method of manufacturing same are provided. Micro-shutter device includes membrane. Frame including receiving hole in its center portion is bonded to membrane. Transparent substrate is bonded to frame to encapsulate optical fluid received in receiving hole. Actuator varies refractive power produced by change in curvature of fluid lens formed in the center portion of the receiving hole due to bending of a periphery of the fluid lens. A reflector is disposed to correspond to the fluid lens and be spaced apart from the membrane, such that light intensity transferred to a user is adjusted depending on the refractive power produced by a change in curvature of the fluid lens. Therefore, the device has improved optical efficiency compared to using liquid crystal and a polarizing film, and can have a flexible structure for application to a flexible display device.

The multi-sensing touch panel includes: a touch pad including an input surface; at least one infrared ray source which irradiates infrared rays to the touch pad; and a camera array including a plurality of infrared ray cameras which are disposed below the touch pad and inclined with respect to a plane of the input surface.
Abstract:
A mirror package is provided which can reflect a laser to an external screen according to a video signal when the laser enters from outside, and a method of manufacturing the mirror package. The mirror is packaged with a glass to protect from external contamination, an inlet and an outlet are formed by, for example, an anisotropic etching on the glass and blocks a reflected light reflected from the glass. The mirror package is formed as a set, combined on a wafer using a wafer level package and diced to individual chips. Subsequently, a productivity is improved and a ghost image or phenomenon is removed.
Abstract:
An image sensor and a method of manufacturing the image sensor, wherein the image sensor can electrically connect a light receiving portion and a printed circuit board (PCB) including circuits by forming holes and filling the holes with a conductive material, without using a wire for the electrical connection between the light receiving portion and the PCB. The light receiving portion converts lights into electrical signals and the PCB electrically processes signals. That is, since a distance for a wire between a sealing structure and because a filter is unnecessary, a thickness may be reduced. Also, since a space for wire bonding is unnecessary on the outside of an image sensor, a fill factor may increase. Also, since a process that may cause contaminates is removed, average yield may increase and production cost may decrease. The manufacturing productivity may be improved.
