Abstract:
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel of improving color washout, setting different alignment angles in the sub pixel areas of different colors (the included angle between the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules and the branch electrode of the pixel electrode). Then, the alignment angle of the red sub pixel area is the largest, and the alignment angle of the green sub pixel area is smaller, and the alignment angle of the blue sub pixel area is smallest. Thus, it is possible to respectively modulate the transmittance-voltage curves and the brightness-voltage curves of the lights of different colors to optimize the white dot chromaticity for satisfying the optical specification and compensate the losing transmittance of the blue light in the panel for improving the color washout problem.
Abstract:
An infrared high-pass plasmonic filter includes a copper layer interposed between two layers of a dielectric material. An array of patterned openings extend through the copper layer and are filled with the dielectric material. Each patterned opening is in the shape of a greek cross, with the arms of adjacent patterns being collinear. A ratio of the width to the length of each arm is in the range from 0.3 to 0.6, and the distance separating the opposite ends of arms of adjacent patterns is shorter than 10 nm.
Abstract:
A multi-band pass filter may include a filter layer including a plurality of different epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material layers that are sequentially arranged; and an aperture-defining layer that is disposed on the filter layer and comprises at least one aperture. The filter layer may be exposed to incident light through the at least one aperture, and may be configured to pass a plurality of wavelength regions of the incident light.
Abstract:
A two-dimensionally periodic, color-filtering grating has a contiguous high-refractive. In an embodiment, the color-filtering grating includes a metallic ground layer defining a grating plane and above the ground layer a two-dimensionally regular pattern of individual high-refractive, such as metallic areal elements that respectively extend parallel to the grating plane and respectively are spaced apart from the ground layer through an intermediate dielectric by a distance that is greater than the thickness of the ground layer and of the areal elements. The regular pattern has in at least two directions, which run parallel to the grating plane, a periodicity between 100 nm and 800 nm, and preferably between 200 nm and 500 nm.
Abstract:
An optical frequency filter comprises a support layer having reflective elements formed thereon, the reflective elements defining at least one periodic grid of substantially parallel slits, the period P, the height, and the width of the slits being selected in such a manner that the reflective elements form a wavelength-selective structure for a wavelength lying in a determined range of wavelengths. The support layer material has a refractive index nh and includes inclusions of a material of refractive index nb, where nb is strictly less than nh. The inclusions are flush with the surface of the support layer opposite from its surface on which the reflective elements are formed, and present height hbwherein 0.5hh≦hb≦1hh, hh being the support layer height, and width lbwhere 0.05P≦lb≦0.75P. Each inclusion is situated at least in part between two reflective elements.
Abstract:
The apparatus for selectively transmitting the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation within a predefined wavelength range is provided with a carrier (115), a pinhole diaphragm which is arranged above the carrier (115) and is made of a material that is substantially impermeable to the radiation of interest, wherein the pinhole diaphragm has at least one radiation passage opening with a size for allowing through radiation at a wavelength which is less than or equal to a predefinable upper limit wavelength, and an electrically insulating and optically transparent dielectric layer (103) which is formed on the carrier (115) inside the radiation passage opening and extends, in a manner adjoining the radiation passage opening, between the carrier (115) and at least one section below the pinhole diaphragm. The dielectric layer (103) has a thickness which is less than or equal to half a predefinable lower limit wavelength which is less than the upper limit wavelength.
Abstract:
A spectral filter includes an assembly of filtering cells. Each cell has a same nanostructured pattern and a preferential direction of the pattern. This preferential direction is, for each cell, oriented approximately radially with respect to a single point of the spectral filter. Alternatively, this preferential direction is, for each cell, oriented approximately ortho-radially with respect to the single point of the spectral filter. The single point may be a center point. Alternatively, the single point may correspond to an optical axis of a lens element associated with the spectral filter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical bandpass filter system that has at least one combination of a bandpass filter that provides a first nanostructured metallic layer (4) and a bandstop filter comprising a second nanostructured metallic layer (7), which are arranged one behind the other, and the layer thicknesses of which are different. The bandstop filter is tuned to the bandpass filter in such a way that it blocks a contiguous wavelength range that partially overlaps a pass-band width of the bandpass filter. With the suggested optical filter system it is possible to create various filter characteristics side by side in a small space with a small pass-band width.
