  • Publication number: 20120069438
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a display panel comprises the steps of: forming a controlling elements array substrate and a flexible color filter, respectively; forming a displaying medium on the controlling elements array substrate; and assembling the flexible color filter to the controlling elements array substrate for disposing it on the displaying medium layer. A method of fabricating a flexible color filter comprises the steps of: forming a flexible substrate on a rigidly substrate; forming a color filter film comprising a plurality of color filter patterns; and separating the flexible substrate from the rigidly substrate. Since the color filter film is formed before separating the flexible substrate from the rigid substrate, the flexible color filter may have good resolution and process yield.

  • Patent number: 7982954
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are light collectors for use in projection applications. The light collectors gather light from surface emitting sources (e.g., LEDs) of differing color (or same color in some embodiments) using input lightpipes. A light collection system splits the light into orthogonal linear polarization states and efficiently propagates the light by use of a polarizing beamsplitter (PBS) and a reflecting element. Further, the light collection system may efficiently homogenize the light using an output lightpipe in a lightpath from the output of the PBS and the reflecting element. In addition, the light collection system may present a single, linear polarization at the output through the use of a half-wave switch (LC cell) in some embodiments or ColorSelect filter in other embodiments. The light collection system may be integrated into a single, monolithic glass, plastic or combination glass/plastic assembly.
