  • Publication number: 20130127784
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for hiding optical contrast features. To reduce visibility of an elongated optical contrast feature, such as a wire on a transparent light guide, neighboring light-turning features in the light guide are “moved” relative to their location in a layout where they are physically uniformly distributed. This movement renders the local optical density in the region around the wire more equal to the optical density in other regions of the light guide. The movement of neighboring light-turning features occurs principally within a distance from the wire that is within the width of the line spread function of the human eye at a normal viewing distance. The uniformity of the local optical density is therefore increased, and the human eye does not perceive the wires as being separate structures. Thus, the wires can be “hidden” within a field of light-turning features.

  • Publication number: 20130083264
    Abstract: In a substrate for a liquid crystal display device, a black matrix, a transparent electroconductive film and a resin layer are formed above a transparent substrate. The black matrix is a light-shielding layer in which light-shielding pigments are dispersed in a resin, and includes openings. The resin layer is formed above the transparent substrate including the black matrix and the transparent electroconductive film, forms a convex part above the black matrix, and forms, in a region that passes through a center of each of the openings in the black matrix, a concave part.

  • Patent number: 8398289
    Abstract: A structure for eliminating bright lines of a tiled backlight module is provided. The structure includes a light guide plate, and a plurality of light sources. The light guide plate includes a plurality of rows of optical elements. The rows of optical elements extend in parallel. The light sources are provided at least one side of the light guide plate for projecting a light into the light guide plate and generating a regular but non-uniform light outputting performance of the light guide plate. Therefore, a brightness of areas where the optical elements are located is higher than the rest areas, so that the light guide plate achieves a regular but non-uniform light emitting performance. Accordingly, the bright lines occurred at joints between two light guide plates are enshrouded by the high brightness areas, and become hard to identify or even undistinguishable, thus “eliminated”.

  • Publication number: 20120287494
    Abstract: A metal layer is formed on a highly light-transmissive substrate; a resist mask having an opening pattern is formed on the metal layer; exposed portions of the metal layer is etched away in this state to form openings; then the resist mask is removed; and a surface of the metal layer and an inner side wall of each of the openings are oxidized to form a metal oxide layer. Thus, a front surface and a rear surface of the aperture plate are caused to have different reflectances. The oxide layer is formed at the same time as when the resist mask is ashed to remove resist.

  • Patent number: 7976172
    Abstract: Light emitted from a lamp enters a color wheel having a region for allowing a predetermined color to pass therethrough, is reflected on a mirror, and enters a DMD. After this, the light is reflected by the DMD and enters a color sensor, which then detects the color of the transmitting light. A projection apparatus automatically synchronizes the control on the rotation of the color wheel and the control on the proceeding direction of the transmitting light by the DMD, based on a color time-division pattern of the transmitting light detected by the color sensor.
