  • Publication number: 20150049505
    Abstract: A light guide for illuminating a mobile electronic device display. The light guide includes a light source, a light guide panel element having a light input surface located to receive light and a light output surface located proximate to a display active area, and a light guide ring surrounding the light guide panel element and having at least one end located proximate to the light source. The light guide ring may be shaped such that a significant portion of light enters the end(s) of the light guide ring and moves through it around the light guide panel element. A portion of the light moves into the light input surface of the light guide panel element and is redirected out the light output surface toward the display, thereby illuminating it the display with increased efficiency and uniformity. The light guide panel element may be transparent and positioned above or below the display.

  • Patent number: 7385669
    Abstract: The invention is a method for creating a micropolarizer, including providing a first plate having a first and a second surface, providing a second plate having a first and a second surface. Then coating a polyimide on each of the first surface of the two plates followed by rubbing the polyimide coated upon the first surface of the first plate along a predetermined direction and rubbing the polyimide coated upon the first surface of the second plate along a direction having a predetermined angle in relation to the predetermined direction. An alignment process includes aligning the first plate and the second plate having the first surface of the first plate and the first surface of the second plate facing each other thereby creating a space there between. In conclusion there is a filling of a liquid crystal material in the space whereby a cell, or film is created.

  • Publication number: 20060261260
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for measuring angular distribution of light generated by visual displays or light emitting devices are provided. An optical probe can be rotated manually around test point; meanwhile the optical probe drives a goniometer. The goniometer provides angular location of the optical probe to a data acquiring circuit. The central axis of goniometer is separated from the central axis of the circular movement of optical probe. A Y shape cable transits light and angle information for data acquiring.
