Patent number: 8107040Abstract: A transflective LCD panel includes scan lines, data lines, transmissive pixels and reflective pixels. Each transmissive pixel is configured to receive a transmissive pixel voltage transmitted from one of the data lines and displays a first gray level related to the transmissive pixel voltage. Each reflective pixel receives a reflective pixel voltage transmitted from one of the data lines and displays a second gray level related to the reflective pixel voltage. When the transmissive pixel and the reflective pixel are used to display a same gray level, the transmissive pixel voltage and the reflective pixel voltage are predetermined such that corresponding first and second gray levels substantially equal each other.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2010Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Chimei Innolux CorporationInventors: Chao-Lien Lin, Ting-Yi Wu, Yi-Chin Lee

Patent number: 7852326Abstract: A display method used for a display which has a backlight module suitable to provide more than M types of primary color lights, where M=3. The display panel of the display has an array of pixel regions. The display method provides these pixels regions to display multiple image data to be display in multiple frame times. Each of the image data includes (L1N, L2N, . . . , LMN) each representing the brightness of the M primary color light in each pixel region, where N is a positive integer. The backlight module sequentially provides M-1 primary color lights within any two successive frame times, so allow the image data to drive the pixel regions. The first and the Mth primary color lights provide the frame times for these two successive frame times.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2005Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp.Inventors: Chao-Lien Lin, Fu-Cheng Chen, Chung-Kuang Wei

Patent number: 7750997Abstract: A displaying method and device. The display device includes a back light module and a display panel. The back light module emits at least M color lights. The display panel includes a plurality of pixel areas arranged in array structure, wherein each pixel area comprises N color filters, and at least one of the color filters is for passing through a plurality of primary color lights. In the displaying method, the back light module provides at least M color lights in a frame time, and a frame is displayed by arranging the M color lights and the N color filters in each pixel area, wherein M?2 and N?2. Moreover, the display panel may include an active component array substrate, a liquid crystal layer and a color filter substrate. In addition, any two adjacent pixel areas can share at least one color filter.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp.Inventors: Fu-Cheng Chen, Chao-Lien Lin, Cheng-Jen Chu, Chung-Kuang Wei

Patent number: 7616172Abstract: In a 3D display having a plurality of display regions and corresponding backlight regions, the image data is sequentially sent to the display regions. The respective light source(s) of the corresponding backlight region is/are turned ON after a response time of each display region, without waiting for a response time or times in the other display regions. The light source(s) is/are then turned OFF after a predetermined time period. The process repeats for further image data.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp.Inventors: Chao Lien Lin, Chien-Chih Huang

Publication number: 20090161044Abstract: Apparatus, devices, systems, and methods for wide viewing angle circular polarizers in transmissive and transflective displays. A liquid crystal display configuration can include two stacked circular polarizers, a liquid crystal layer, and a compensator between one of the circular polarizer and the liquid crystal layer to partially or fully compensate the liquid crystal layer. One of the circular polarizer is formed of a linear polarizer and a uniaxial quarter-wave plate, and the other circular polarizer is formed of a linear polarizer, a uniaxial quarter-wave plate, and a biaxial film interposed therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: June 25, 2009Inventors: Zhibing Ge, Ruibo Lu, Thomas Xinzhang Wu, Shin-Tson Wu, Chao-Lien Lin, Nai-Chin Hsu
