  • Publication number: 20100059845
    Abstract: An image sensor includes a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a matrix shape, each of which is disposed in a region defined by a gate line extending in a first direction and a data line extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction. Each of the unit pixels includes a switching diode and a sensing diode. The switching diode has a plus terminal electrically connected to the gate line, and a minus terminal electrically connected to a signal node. The sensing diode has a plus terminal electrically connected to the data line, and a minus terminal electrically connected to the signal node. Therefore, a two-dimensional image may be sensed at once without moving of the sensing module so that scan time (image sensing time) may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7382425
    Abstract: A display device that can selectively display 2D and 3D images is provided. The display device includes a backlight unit, a liquid crystal device, and a light control device including two polarizing plates interposed between the backlight and the liquid crystal device each of the polarizing plates having a polarized pattern, and one of the polarizing plates being moveable. Therefore, the display device can selectively display 2D and 3D images by moving one of the polarizing plates parallel to the other polarizing plate, and a width of a light valve can be controlled by the degree of non-alignment of the polarizing plates.

  • Patent number: 7359013
    Abstract: A 2D/3D (two-dimensional/three-dimensional) display including: an image display panel; and a light source which selectively emits light for displaying two-dimensional image and light for displaying three-dimensional image on the image display panel. The image display panel can be a liquid crystal panel, and the light source can be a flat light source having an array of light emitting cells which are turned on and off depending on an applied voltage.
