  • Patent number: 11029589
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser light source optical projection architecture, which comprises a laser light source group, a color control device, a phosphor device and an optical filter group. Accordingly, the laser light source optical projection architecture does not require to synchronize the phosphor device with the color field sequential display system, and the color control (ratios of the color duty) does not need to be determined in advance, i.e. at the time the color control device is manufactured. Various color field ratios can be achieved by adjusting positions of the specific color control device to obtain different red, blue and green color field durations, allowing easy electronic control of the color field duty cycles.

  • Patent number: 9829748
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of unit level liquid crystal display device assembly process for liquid crystal on silicon. It starts with sawing silicon wafer and ITO glass substrate. Then good silicon dies and ITO glass dies will be picked and transferred to separate carriers. Alignment layers will respectively be coated on each silicon die and ITO glass die after cleaning. Then there are two options for the following steps. In method one, silicon die and ITO glass die lamination comes after coating frame adhesive. Then frame adhesive is cured. The liquid crystal will fill the cell and then seal the fill port. Die mounting, wire bonding and encapsulation will come along with external ITO connection to call it an end. In method two, frame adhesive precedes internal connection and LC one drop fill. Then silicon die and ITO glass die are laminated before frame adhesive cure. Afterwards die mount, wire bonding and encapsulation come last.
