  • Patent number: 6688751
    Abstract: A polarization splitting backlight module for efficiently converting a non-polarized light beam emitted from the light source into a single polarization state is disclosed. The polarization splitting backlight module of the present invention comprises an under plate with a ridged lower surface, a light source, a special reflection film, a scattering structure, a substrate and a polarization splitting film. The light beam emitted from the light source is introduced into the scattering structure between the under plate and the substrate. After a series of processes, such as scattering, reflection, phase retardation and polarization beam-splitting, the light beam will pass through the polarization splitting film being of a single polarization state such that it could be utilized by electro-optical systems, such as liquid crystal displays. The present invention converts light beams into a single polarization state, and the efficiency thus is higher than that of a conventional backlight module.

  • Patent number: 6679964
    Abstract: The present invention is a wafer level integrating method for bonding an un-sliced wafer including image sensors and a wafer-sized substrate including optical components thereon. A zeroth order light reflective substrate is provided between the un-sliced wafer and the wafer-sized substrate. The image sensors are either CMOS or CCD image sensors. The wafer-sized substrate is a transparent plate and the optical components thereon include a blazed grating, a two-dimensional microlens array or other optical-functional elements. The wafer-sized substrate is bonded onto the zeroth order light reflective substrate by an appropriate optical adhesive to form a composite substrate. Bonding pads and bumps are provided at corresponding positions on the bonding surface of the un-sliced wafer and the composite substrate respectively so that the composite substrate and the un-sliced wafer can be bonded together through a reflow process.

  • Publication number: 20030161047
    Abstract: An optical apparatus made for either imaging or light-blurring application is disclosed. The optical apparatus has two arrays of one-dimensional optical elements. Each of the two arrays has a number of elongated cylindrical optical elements arrayed consecutively in parallel and spreading along a first extension-profiling direction generally orthogonal to their longitudinal axes. The two arrays are superposed together with their general direction extension profile twisted with respect to each other at a selected angle. The superposition spreads an extended layer of optical system having a number of lens units formed from the superposition. All the lens units are arrayed in a two-dimensional matrix of moire fringe. More than two arrays of one-dimensional optical elements can be used to construct an optical apparatus.

    Abstract: A light beam polarization converter for converting non-polarized light beams of an illumination source into a single polarization state, which may be utilized in various electro-optical devices, such as liquid crystal projection type televisions. A polarization splitter film and a phase retardation film are utilized to make the incident light beams of a light source focused and refracted with an under plate. The light beam, upon passing through the under plate, goes through a series of optical processes of polarization splitting, reflection, total reflection and phase retardation, and subsequently becomes a light beam of a single polarization state output.
