  • Publication number: 20140347607
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a polarizing device, a liquid crystal display device and a manufacturing method thereof. The polarizing device comprises: a first support layer, a polarizing layer used to output linear polarized light, and a conversion layer with phase delay of m/4 wavelength. The m is an odd number larger than zero. The first support layer, the polarizing layer, and the conversion layer are staked sequentially. The angle ? between the optical axis of the conversion layer and the polarization axis of the polarizing layer are n*90°+45°, the n being an integer not less than zero. In this way, the present invention can change the polarization state of the emitted light of the liquid crystal display device without significantly increasing the cost of production, which can protect the human eye.

  • Patent number: 8345191
    Abstract: An optical component capable of changing polarization light state and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device using the same are provided. The optical component including a transparent substrate and a wavelength compensator is disposed at any position from the outer side of the LCD device to the outside in an output direction of an output light. The wavelength compensator is directly attached to the surface of the substrate to convert an output light of the LCD device from a linearly polarized light into a circularly polarized light or an elliptically polarized light, thereby effectively reducing eye fatigue. The LCD device is provided with such an optical component such that a linearly polarized light emerging from the LCD device is converted into a circularly polarized light or an elliptically polarized light to lessen the eye fatigue.

  • Patent number: 7601492
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of examining the binding of proteins to DNA across a genome (e.g., the entire genome or a portion thereof, such as one or more chromosomes or a chromosome regions). In particular, the disclosure relates to a method of identifying a regulatory region (e.g., a protein or enhancer region) of genomic DNA to which a protein of interest binds. In one aspect, the disclosure looks at tissue related regulation. In another aspect, the disclosure looks at developmental related regulation. In yet another aspect, the disclosure looks at regulation of expression in a particular disease state or disorder.
