  • Publication number: 20070102929
    Abstract: A turntable and a top-pushing rod, wherein said turntable is provided pivotally at equal interval along its peripheral direction with a plurality of rod bodies, and wherein said rod bodies are provided at their ends near the periphery of the turntable with heavy blocks, while said rod bodies are engaged at their front ends near the center of the turntable with a spring that has its other end engaged on the turntable, thereby the swinging of said rod bodies would drive springs to stretch or contract; wherein, said top-pushing rod is driven by a motor such that said top-pushing rod can move reciprocally along a linear direction in which it can push the heavy block on a rod body above said turntable so as to bring said heavy block returning to the highest position of the turntable.

  • Patent number: 7158302
    Abstract: A wire grid polarizer with double metal layers for the visible spectrum. Parallel dielectric layers having a period (p) of 10˜250 nm and a trench between adjacent dielectric layers overlie a transparent substrate. A first metal layer having a first thickness (d1) of 30˜150 nm is disposed in the trench. A second metal layer having a second thickness (d2) of 30˜150 nm and a width (w) overlies on the top surface of each dielectric layer. The first and second metal layers are separated by a vertical distance (l) of 10˜100 nm. The first thickness (d1) is the same as the second thickness (d2). A ratio of the width (w) to the period (p) is 25˜75%.

  • Publication number: 20060147617
    Abstract: A color filter having a bi-layer metal grating is formed by nanoimprint lithography. Nanoimprint lithography, a low cost technology, includes two alternatives, i.e., hot-embossing nanoimprint lithography and UV-curable nanoimprint lithography. Manufacture steps comprises providing a substrate with a polymer material layer disposed thereon. A plurality of lands and grooves are formed in the polymer material layer, and a first metal layer and a second metal layer are disposed on the surfaces of the lands and grooves, respectively. Finally, a color filter having a bi-layer metal grating is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20060061725
    Abstract: A method for making an optical device comprises steps of: 1) Providing a substrate, a polymerizable liquid crystal material having a plurality of liquid crystal molecules, and a mold having rows of trenches; 2) Imprinting the polymerizable liquid crystal material on said substrate by the mold; 3) Proceeding a cross-linking process to cure the liquid crystal material so as to have long axes of the liquid crystal molecules be aligned along the rows of trenches. The optical device made from the present method conforms to an A-plate type retardation plate. Moreover, the optical device is capable of aligning liquid crystal molecules adjacent to it.
