摘要:
Disclosed are various reverse-mode direct-view liquid crystal displays employing a liquid crystal having a characteristic wavelength in the non-visible spectrum, including reflective, transmissive and reflective-transmissive mode displays. In accordance with the principles disclosed, a direct-view liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a front substantially transparent substrate, a rear substrate, and a controllable cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) disposed between the front and rear substrates and having a characteristic wavelength to reflect non-visible spectrum; the portions of the controllable CLC can selectively exhibit a planar state or a focal-conic state, the portions of the CLC in the planar state appearing dark, and the portions of the CLC in the focal-conic state appearing bright, to an observer of the LCD. The reflective, transmissive and reflective-transmissive mode displays are derived by further combinations with linear and/or circular polarizers, reflective mirrors and/or transmissive/reflective mirrors, and a source of visible light.

A substrate for a multi-color liquid crystal display (LCD), an LCD having the substrate, and methods of manufacturing the substrate and the LCD. In one embodiment, the substrate includes: (1) a substantially planar base and (2) a cell wall structure, located on a surface of the base, that defines at least first and second sets of independent cells having corresponding independent fluid fill ports when the cell wall structure is bonded to an opposing substrate.
摘要:
A projection system based on self emitting display panels is described, in which the projection technology involves organic/inorganic electroluminescent display panels with spatially separated color segments. The color pictures are shown in three spatially separate segments. A color combination mechanism, such as dichroic mirrors, are used to merge the three color pictures to a color picture. One of the advantages of the present invention is that only the on state pixel is driven to a bright state that uses energy. The off state pixel need not be driven to a bright state and therefore the energy consumption is virtually nothing. Another advantage is that the system does not require a separate light source and display panel. Therefore the projection system can be made very compact, which is extremely useful for portable projection systems.

摘要:
This invention discloses a system that produces a compound image. It comprises 1) an illumination system producing at least two spatially separated illumination zones where the illuminating lights have different optical properties; 2) a display panel having at least two segments that display the component information of a compound image respectively; 3) a lens system that produces images; 4) a redirecting element that redirect the different types of light at different angles. The optical properties of light includes but are not limited to, different colors and different polarizations. For a system using different colors, it produces color images. For a system using different polarizations, it produces three dimensional images. The advantages of the current invention are simple, low cost, and highly efficient. Its applications include near-to-eye display systems, projection display systems, and three-dimensional display systems.
摘要:
A single panel projection system that comprises an illumination system which produces spatially separated color illumination segments. A display panel having at least two segments displays corresponding color information, which is aligned with the corresponding color illumination segments. A projection lens system combines the at least two segments together into a full color picture by using an angular-color-mixing technique. The system comprises only a single panel, therefore the system cost is lower than that of other three panel systems. The system has no moving color filter, so color artifacts related to color sequential method are eliminated. Color energy is distributed to three color segments at any time, therefore the light efficiency is high.
