Abstract:
Light guide structures having a transparent member containing at least one red fluorescent transparent substance, at least one green fluorescent transparent substance, and at least one blue fluorescent transparent substance are disclosed.
Abstract:
An illuminating device is configured to include a light guide structure having a first light source configured to emit light of a first wavelength to excite at least one red fluorescent transparent substance; a second light source configured to emit light of a second wavelength to excite at least one green fluorescent transparent substance; and a third light source configured to emit light of a third wavelength to excite at least one blue fluorescent transparent substance.
Abstract:
Hybrid nanoparticles and transparent light guides using the hybrid nanoparticles are disclosed. In some examples, a hybrid nanoparticle may include an organic blue-light emitting material, and an inorganic material bonded to the organic blue-light emitting material.
Abstract:
A mirrorless optical waveguide can include a cladding and a core. The core can include an elongate section parallel to a surface plane. The core can further include two curved end sections that curve toward a surface plane. The surface plane can be parallel to a substrate. The cladding can have nanoparticles made of acrylic and/or urethane. The core can have similar nanoparticles of acrylic and/or urethane as well as nanoparticles with a high refractive index such as zirconia. The mirrorless optical waveguide can be formed by ink-jet printing.
Abstract:
A backlight unit for a LCD can include a TFT array substrate, a UV light source disposed at an edge or bottom of the TFT array substrate, and a layer of transparent fluorescent films formed on the TFT array substrate. The layer of transparent fluorescent films can include a plurality of red transparent fluorescent films, a plurality of green transparent fluorescent films, and a plurality of blue transparent fluorescent films. The layer of transparent fluorescent films can function as a color filter. In some embodiments, a light guide plate and a conventional color filter are omitted from the LCD.
