Patent number: 10859879Abstract: The present disclosure provides a liquid crystal grating, a method for driving the liquid crystal grating, and a display device. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by applying the second voltage and the third voltage that are mutually inverted with respect to the common electrode voltage, the situation in which a single phase voltage is applied to all grating electrodes corresponding to the power-on optical state can be avoided. Due to the capacitance of liquid crystal, the influence of the second voltage on the common electrode voltage and the influence of the third voltage on the common electrode voltage cancel each other out. Therefore, the fluctuation of the common electrode voltage caused by the capacitance of liquid crystal can be effectively reduced or eliminated, thereby avoiding the failure of the liquid crystal grating.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD.Inventors: Ming Yang, Xiaochuan Chen, Shengji Yang, Wenqing Zhao, Pengcheng Lu

Patent number: 10551683Abstract: A display panel and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed. The display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate which is arranged oppositely to the first substrate, a frame sealant which is arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a black matrix which is arranged on the second substrate. A projection of the black matrix on the first substrate does not overlap a projection of the frame sealant on the first substrate. This facilitates completely exposing the frame sealant to a curing UV light. This improves a curing efficiency of the frame sealant, increases the adhesiveness of the frame sealant, and avoids the problem of liquid crystal leakage due to breakage of the frame sealant.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignees: BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD., BEIJING BOE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Haiqin Huang, Xiaopeng Cui, Jiarong Liu, Junwei Wang, Haifeng Yu

Light modulator for a display for displaying two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional image contents
Patent number: 10509364Abstract: A light modulator, for a display for the presentation of two- and/or three-dimensional image contents or image sequences, includes two opposing substrates and electrodes. At least one liquid crystal layer is provided between the two substrates. An alignment means is provided on the substrate which faces the liquid crystal layer to set a predeterminable initial alignment of the liquid crystals. The orientation of the liquid crystals can be controlled in a given range through an electric field generated by the electrodes. The alignment means is controllable and can be controlled to modify the initial alignment of the liquid crystals. The alignment can be controlled such the orientation of the liquid crystals can be oriented outside the given range or so that the initial alignment of the liquid crystals can be set specifically for certain positions.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2010Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: SEEREAL TECHNOLOGIES S.A.Inventors: Bo Kroll, Norbert Leister, Stephan Reichelt, Gerald Futterer -

Patent number: 10416453Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) for viewing a virtual environment generally include a flat display (FD), lenses for focusing on the FD, and a housing to enclose the FD and lenses. The housing is generally opaque to block out all external light, so the viewer only sees light from the FD. By making a portion or all of the housing translucent or transparent, ambient light and other external light can be seen by the viewer, providing additional visual cues and a larger perceived field of view. Additionally, other people can see light from the FD. The lenses are configured to view the FD and parts of the translucent housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: Mark Bolas, J.
