Abstract:
A method of correcting optical characteristics of a back light unit (BLU) for a three-dimensional (3D) display apparatus includes: obtaining first optical characteristics of a reference image; obtaining a corrected image by applying an initial correction value, which is determined based on the first optical characteristics, to the reference image; obtaining second optical characteristics of the corrected image; determining whether the second optical characteristics match reference optical characteristics; outputting the corrected image based on determining that the second optical characteristics match the reference optical characteristics, and obtaining a new corrected image and repeating, for the new corrected image, the obtaining the second optical characteristics and the determining whether the second optical characteristics match the reference optical characteristics, based on determining that the second optical characteristics of the corrected image do not match the reference optical characteristics.

Abstract:
An imprinting apparatus includes: a coating unit which coats a substrate with ink including a photocurable resin in a diluent; a pressing unit which presses the ink with an imprint stamp including an uneven pattern; and a light source which irradiates light to the ink, which is in a pressed state, and cures the photocurable resin. The coating unit, the pressing unit and the light source move relative to the substrate in a processing direction. The coating unit is located ahead of the pressing unit in the processing direction.
Abstract:
A patterning method using an imprint mold, to form an imprinted pattern structure, includes providing a resist layer from which the pattern structure will be formed, performing a first imprint process on a first area of the resist layer by using the imprint mold to form a first pattern of the pattern structure through deformation of the resist layer in the first area, and performing a second imprint process on a second area of the resist layer by using the imprint mold to form a second pattern of the pattern structure through deformation of the resist layer in the second area. The first and second areas are overlapped with each other in a third area of the resist layer, and the performing the second imprint process deforms a first portion of the first pattern in the third area to form the second pattern.

A master wafer includes: a plurality of unit wafers each including a pattern disposed thereon; a coupling surface defined on each of the unit wafers; and a coupling part which couples adjacent unit wafers among the plurality of unit wafers on which the coupling surface is defined, to each other.
Abstract:
A method of forming a pattern by using an imprint process includes: forming an adhesion promoting layer only in a pattern formation region on a substrate; coating a resin to cover the substrate and the adhesion promoting layer; transferring a pattern of a stamp mold to the resin covering the substrate and the adhesion promoting layer, by pressing the stamp mold onto the resin; irradiating ultraviolet light onto the resin covering the substrate and the adhesion promoting layer, to cure the resin and form a pattern of the cured resin to correspond to the pattern of the stamp mold, on the substrate; and detaching the stamp mold from the substrate, to leave a portion of the cured resin pattern only on the adhesion promoting layer on the substrate and to remove a remaining portion of the cured resin pattern from the substrate.
Abstract:
A see-through display device includes an optical coupler that couples first light input from a first direction and second light input from a second direction that is different from the first direction, the optical coupler transferring coupled light including the first light and the second light to an observer, and a shading member disposed in front of the optical coupler, the shading member transferring the second light to the optical coupler by reducing a light amount of the second light. The see-through display device limits a reflection phenomenon occurring between the optical coupler and the shading member.

An apparatus for controlling an augmented reality includes: a communicator configured to communicate with an external device; and a processor configured to identify, via the communicator, a sensing device which is an external device, generate virtual image data based on sensing data received from the identified sensing device, and provide the virtual image data to an image display device.
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.
