  • Patent number: 10649253
    Abstract: A display panel including a first substrate including a pixel electrode, a second substrate, a third substrate, a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a color filter. The first substrate is located between the liquid crystal layer and the color filter. The first substrate includes a first resin base, or the second substrate includes a second resin base. A display panel may include a first polarizer plate. The third substrate may be located between the first substrate and the first polarizer plate.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170229074
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight, a video signal processing circuit, and a backlight control unit is further provided with a circuit for transmitting or receiving optical data, and a communication data conversion circuit for converting the optical data into an effective value allowed to be superimposed on an input to the backlight. The effective value is input to the backlight control unit so as to allow variation of luminance of the backlight.

  • Publication number: 20060153971
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a display includes supplying first regions on an underlayer with a first solution which contains a first organic solvent and a film-forming material dissolved or dispersed therein, wherein the first regions are spaced apart from each other, and wherein the film-forming material is to be used as a material of a layer included in a display element, selecting at least one out of the first regions which is insufficient in supply of the first solution, and supplying second regions on the underlayer surrounding the selected first region with a second solution which contains a second organic solvent and supplying the selected first region with a third solution which contains a third organic solvent and the film-forming material dissolved or dispersed therein.

  • Patent number: 6702958
    Abstract: An electroluminescent phosphor includes a phosphor powder that has zinc sulfide as a phosphor host. The phosphor powder has an average particle size, which is expressed by a D(50) value, in the range of 10 &mgr;m or more and 20 &mgr;m or less. In addition, the phosphor powder has a particle size distribution, in which coarser particle component, of which particle size is 31 &mgr;m or more, is 15% by mass or less. An electroluminescent element includes a luminescent layer that includes such electroluminescent phosphor, and of which particle density is heightened on the basis of the average particle size and the particle size distribution of the phosphor powder. A transparent electrode layer is integrally disposed to face one main surface of the luminescent layer, and a rear electrode layer is integrally disposed through a reflective insulating layer on the other main surface. According to such electroluminescent element, brightness may be improved.
