    Abstract: One or more violet lasers and wavelength conversion materials, such as phosphor, are utilized to provide high efficiency light sources, illumination systems, projection systems and backlights that have no speckle at low cost. This solution bridges the gap that currently exists between lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) by providing a visible light source that has brightness higher than that of LEDs and lower than that of lasers.

    Abstract: A light collection system includes at least one light source, a light tunnel having reflective walls and a collimating plate at the light output end of the tunnel. The collimating plate includes an optical element array. The element array receives the light emitted from the light source and outputs part of the light at a desired cone angle and reflects the remainder back into the tunnel toward the light source. The light is “recycled” in the tunnel until the light either exits the collection system through the collimating plate or gets absorbed within the collection system.

    Abstract: A light recycler for use in color projection display systems. The light recycler redirects light reflected by a color wheel of the projection system to increase the light output of the projection system. The light recycler is capable of setting the desired numerical aperture of the light source beam, as well as providing the desired spatial distribution of light in terms of intensity and angle. This improves the light uniformity and brightness of the image displayed by the projection system, and improves the efficiency of the system. The light recycler includes at least one substantially planar optical element array receiving the non-uniform light from the light source. The optical element array includes an optically transmissive substrate and a plurality of optical micro-elements formed in the substrate. The micro-elements act together to produce an output light beam having a desired cross-sectional area and spatial distribution of light intensity and angle.

    Abstract: A vertical electrostatic actuator is based on a layered structure consisting of two conducting or semiconducting layers separated by an insulating layer and/or layered structure consisting of p-type and n-type layers separated by a pn-junction. The number of conducting layers, p-type layers and/or n-type layers can be more than two as long as each two adjacent layers are separated by an insulating layer or a pn-junction. The mobile electrode of the actuator can be formed along a flexure in a micro-mechanical system. Two stationary electrodes are located on either side of the mobile electrode. The layered structure of the electrodes increases the torque on the flexure and thus improves the performance of the actuator. Fabrication methods for the electrostatic actuator and micro-mechanical systems employing the same are disclosed.
