Abstract: A reflective display includes a plurality of pixels, where each pixel includes an active area. The reflective display includes an array of reflectors within the active area of each pixel. Each reflector of the array of reflectors is directly adjacent to another reflector of the array of reflectors. Each reflector of the array of reflectors is entirely reflective, and each reflector of the array of reflectors includes a curved first surface.

Abstract: A light extraction apparatus for an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) includes an OLED emitter (100), a plurality of tapered reflectors (210), and a spacer layer (202). Each tapered reflector includes a first surface (212), a second surface (214) opposite to the first surface and comprising a surface area larger than a surface area of the first surface, and at least one side surface (216) extending between the first surface and the second surface. The spacer layer (202) includes a first surface coupled to the OLED emitter and a second surface coupled to the first surface of each of the plurality of tapered reflectors. Light emitted from the OLED passes through the spacer layer and into the plurality of tapered reflectors. The at least one side surface of each of the plurality of tapered reflectors includes a slope to redirect light into an escape cone and out of the second surface of the corresponding tapered reflector.

Abstract: A backlight includes a substrate, a plurality of light sources, a reflective layer, a light guide plate, a pattern of light extractors, a plurality of patterned reflectors, and a diffusive layer. The plurality of light sources are proximate the substrate. The reflective layer is on the substrate. The light guide plate is proximate the plurality of light sources. The pattern of light extractors is on the light guide plate. The plurality of patterned reflectors are on the light guide plate. Each patterned reflector is aligned with a corresponding light source. The diffusive layer is on the light guide plate.

Abstract: Light-coupling apparatus and methods for light-diffusing optical fibers are disclosed. The light-coupling apparatus includes a light-diffusing fiber bundle having an end section made up of tightly packed cores by removing the claddings. The spaces between the cores are filled with a material having a refractive index equal to or less than that of the cores. A light-emitting diode light source can be butt-coupled to the bundled-core end of the light-diffusing fiber bundle or can be coupled thereto via a reflective concentrator. A method of forming a flat and smooth end on a cleaved fiber that has a rough end is also disclosed.
