  • Patent number: 7767441
    Abstract: A bioassay system is disclosed. The bioassay system may include a plurality of optical detection apparatuses, each of which includes a substrate having a light detector, and a linker site formed over the light detector, the linker site being treated to affix the biomolecule to the linker site. The linker site is proximate to the light detector and is spaced apart from the light detector by a distance of less than or equal to 100 micrometers. The light detector collects light emitted from the biomolecule within a solid angle of greater than or equal to 0.8 SI steridian. The optical detection apparatus may further include an excitation light source formed over the substrate so as to provide a light source for exciting a fluorophore attached to the biomolecule.

  • Publication number: 20100165451
    Abstract: An optical deflector includes a substrate, an electrode layer on the substrate, an insulating layer at a predetermined peripheral region on the electrode layer, exposing the central region of the electrode layer. First electrode sandwiched wall is on the insulating layer. Second electrode sandwiched wall is on the insulating layer corresponding to the first electrode sandwiched wall. A pair of insulating walls is between the first electrode sandwiched wall and the second electrode sandwiched wall in enclosing to form an inner space. An outer wall encloses the pair of insulating layers, the first and the second electrode sandwiched walls at outside. A cap layer covers on the outer wall. A first liquid is filled into the inner space in contact with the electrode layer. A second liquid is filled into the inner spacer without solving to each other and forms a liquid interface.

  • Publication number: 20100123836
    Abstract: An image-projection system includes a light source, a light guide, and an image-projection module. The light source is configured to provide planar illumination. The light guide has a first end and a second end, with the first end being coupled with the light source to receive the planar illumination and the second end being configured to provide a transmitted planar illumination. The light guide may have an internal structure providing a reflective surface for reflecting the planar illumination received from the first end. The image-projection module may be coupled with the second end of the light guide and configured to receive an image signal input and project, in response to the image signal, an image via the transmitted planar illumination.

  • Patent number: 7715106
    Abstract: A liquid-control optical element is provided herein. The optical element includes two liquids with different phases. The two liquids are immiscible and have different optical index. By applying a voltage through electrodes to form an electric field, the slope of an interface between the two liquids is changed. The purpose of changing the slope is to change the shape of the interface or the moving or rotating direction. Thus, according to the law of total internal reflection or the law of refraction, the liquid-control optical element can be used as a liquid shutter device, or a liquid scanner device if a scanning is performed after penetrating the element.

  • Publication number: 20080084709
    Abstract: A light guide plate, for use with a back-light module for seasonal scanning in dividing zones, includes a light-pervious substrate having a plurality of dividing blocks formed thereon, an optical grating structure disposed on light incident surface of each of the dividing blocks for allowing light to enter, and a light diffusion structure disposed on an optical surface of each of the dividing blocks for diffusing the light. As the light-pervious substrate is adapted for seasonal scanning in different zones, the provision of the optical grating structure can shorten the light mixing distance while the light diffusion structure can evenly emit and spread the light throughout the light guide plate to solve the drawbacks of the prior techniques. Further, a back-light module having the light guide plate is provided.
