  • Publication number: 20130106922
    Abstract: A display device includes a light source module, a first light modulation module, a first polarizer layer, and a first color modulation layer. The light source module generates a first color light that is polarized to the first light modulation module, wherein the first light modulation module selectively modulates the polarization direction of the first color light. The first polarizer layer then receives the first color light and selectively blocks, partially blocks, or does not block the first color light from passing through. The first color modulation layer receives the first color light and generates a second color light.

  • Publication number: 20130088673
    Abstract: An LCD panel includes an active device array substrate having a pixel array and fan-out lines electrically connected to the pixel array, an opposite substrate disposed above the active device array substrate, a sealant disposed between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The sealant surrounds the pixel array. The fan-out lines extend from the pixel array. The opposite substrate has light shielding patterns connecting the sealant that covers at least a portion of each fan-out line. In a region where the sealant is distributed, a slit between any two of the adjacent light shielding patterns exclusively overlaps one of the fan-out lines, and the number of the slits is less than the number of the fan-out lines. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate.
