  • Publication number: 20090009726
    Abstract: A multi-primary-color light splitting and combining system, includes a dichroic device, receiving an incident light beam and splitting into a first light beam having a first wavelength range and a second light beam having a second wavelength range. The first wavelength range in wavelength value is larger than the second wavelength range. A first polarized beam splitter receives the first light beam and splits out a first polarization beam having a first predetermined polarization state. A second polarized beam splitter receives the second light beam and splits out a second polarization beam having a second predetermined polarization state. A first and a second reflective displaying panels respectively receive the first and second polarization light beams, and reflect first and second sets of image information with respect to multiple primary colors. A polarized beam splitter combines first and second sets of image information to form an image light beam.

  • Patent number: 7432026
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a dichroic filter array is provided and comprises forming a first dichroic filter material layer on a substrate, and then forming a patterned photoresist layer on the first dichroic filter material layer. The exposed portion of the first dichroic filter material layer is removed so as to form a plurality of first dichroic filter units. A second dichroic filter material layer is formed on the substrate and the patterned photoresist layer. The patterned photoresist layer and the second dichroic filter material layer located on the patterned photoresist layer are removed, and the second dichroic filter material layer between the first dichroic filter units are transformed into a plurality of second dichroic filter units. By using etching process and the lift-off process to simultaneously remove redundant dichroic filter material and the photoreisit layer, the multi-chroic filter array device with a relatively small volume can be rapidly produced.

  • Publication number: 20080124823
    Abstract: Method of fabricating patterned layers using lift-off processes is disclosed. A patterned stacked layer is formed on a substrate. The patterned stacked layer consists of a sacrificed layer and a photoresist layer, which covers and extends out of the sacrificed layer. Next, a film layer having a thickness smaller than that of the sacrificed layer is formed on the patterned stacked layer and gaps between the patterned stacked layer. Then, the photoresist layer and the film layer disposed on the photoresist layer are removed using a lift-off process; finally the sacrificed layer is removed.
