  • Publication number: 20200091373
    Abstract: Disclosed are a display device and a method of manufacturing a display device. The method of a display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first transferring step of transferring a plurality of LEDs disposed on a wafer onto a plurality of donors; and a second transferring step of transferring the plurality of LEDs transferred onto the plurality of donors onto a display panel, in which in the second transferring step, an area where one of the plurality of donors overlaps the display panel partially overlaps an area where the other one of the plurality of donors overlaps the display panel. Therefore, the plurality of LEDs having different wavelengths is uniformly transferred to reduce a boundary caused by the difference in wavelengths and improve color uniformity.

  • Patent number: 10313662
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic 3D display device may be configured to set the width of a viewing zone to a proper fraction of the interocular distance while at the same time overlapping the viewing zones with each other. Through this, an autostereoscopic 3D display device allowing the input and output of stereo image data may be implemented to reduce the number of image sources as well as reduce 3D crosstalk. In addition, the autostereoscopic 3D display device may apply view data rendering to extend a 3D viewing zone.

  • Patent number: 10025110
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic display and a method for driving the same are discussed. The autostereoscopic display according to an embodiment includes a display panel displaying data of a left eye image and data of a right eye image and a three-dimensional (3D) cell which is positioned on the display panel or is embedded in the display panel and separates optical axes of the left eye image and the right eye image. A frame rate of the 3D cell is greater than a frame rate of the display panel.

  • Patent number: 9995942
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic 3D display device according to embodiments of the present disclosure may be configured to set the width of a viewing diamond to a/n times (where a and n are natural numbers satisfying the condition: a<n) of the interocular distance while at the same time overlapping the viewing diamonds with each other. Furthermore, the same or similar input data between adjoining views may be newly mapped through a view data rendering process. Accordingly, it may be possible to provide an effect of removing or minimizing 3D crosstalk, luminance difference, and image flipping in stereoscopic images, thereby enhancing the perceived depth of stereoscopic images.

  • Patent number: 9812471
    Abstract: A laser annealing apparatus includes a substrate supporter that receives a substrate having an amorphous silicon layer, a laser beam irradiation unit that irradiates a line laser beam onto the substrate disposed on the substrate supporter, and a substrate transport unit that moves the substrate supporter in the first direction and in a second direction crossing the first direction and rotates the substrate supporter within a first plane defined by the first direction and the second direction. The substrate transport unit rotates the substrate supporter by an angle ? less than about 90 degrees within the first plane and moves the substrate supporter both in the first direction and in the second direction at substantially the same time. The laser beam irradiation unit irradiates the line laser beam multiple times onto the substrate disposed on the substrate supporter while the substrate transport unit moves the substrate supporter.
