  • Patent number: 7092054
    Abstract: The method for fabricating reflector plate for a reflective liquid crystal display and the device is disclosed. The present invention includes the formation of a protection layer over the glass substrate having thin film transistors and a layer of transparent electrodes on top, followed by the formation of a layer of undulating resin over the protection layer. If the reflector plate to be produced is a semi-transmissive type, a light-transmitting region is created over the protection layer. Since the protection layer is created in advance of the undulating resin outgrowth, the present method can effectively prevent reflection from the exposure stage during the lithography process, thus the problem of abnormal pattern marks occurring on the reflective surface can be avoided, and the exposure time and the production yield are enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7006272
    Abstract: A color changeable pixel comprises a first plate, a second plate and a third plate. The three plates are settled in parallel. The second plate is a deformable and reflective plate. An incident light from one side of the first plate is modulated and only specific frequency light reflects by the second plate. The frequency of the reflected light is related to the distance between the first plate and the second plate. The second plate shifts by the voltage added on the third plate to change the distance between the first plate and the second plate. Therefore, the frequency of the reflected light is altered.
