  • Publication number: 20200341307
    Abstract: An AMLCD sub-pixel electrical connection array integrating dual redundancy of its entire active area is provided in some implementations. Some implementations include integration of independent sets of ICs that drive the primary and the secondary TFTs for each pixel with a shared liquid crystal fluid. The AMLCD structure can include independent electrical conductors that are patterned similarly and aligned to reduce offset to prevent a significant optical loss due to the reduced aperture ratio caused by the redundant electrical circuit. Such assembly can also provide an AMLCD that is capable of resizing possibly without modification of the display panel design.

  • Patent number: 9927562
    Abstract: A night vision imaging system (NVIS) compatible liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a backlight and an LCD panel. The LCD panel includes a color filter including a plurality of colored pixels. Each of the colored pixels in the plurality of colored pixels incorporates a near infrared (NIR) filter, capable of substantially blocking emissions from the backlight, including NIR emission between 650 nm and 930 nm, while maintaining high transmission of bands of visible light for producing a full color visual image.

  • Publication number: 20130277689
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an LED assembly that is compatible for use with a night vision imaging system or any other system that requires an LED with specific transmission or rejection wavelength bands. Such LEDs may emit selective wavelength bands anywhere between 400 nm and 700 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum while limiting selective wavelength bands anywhere between 700 and 1200 nanometers. In one embodiment, the LED is manufactured by coating one or more inorganic thin film optical coatings onto the LED and then protecting the LED and thin film optical coating with a resin encapsulant. In other embodiments, additional near infrared photochemical or color correcting dyes are incorporated directly into the encapsulant.

  • Patent number: 6786617
    Abstract: A light emitting diode assembly consisting of separate dies, individually mounted or commonly packaged into one assembly providing an energy spectrum compliant with a night vision imaging system standard, such as NVIS Green A class A. The light emitting diode combination or assembly does not require any external filtering and/or fluorescent material to achieve the NVIS Green A class A chromaticity and radiance requirements. An optical filter absorbing part of visible energy to improve radiance performance. A conformal coating including an absorbing agent for filtering small infrared emissions may be used for improving compliance performance. Use of light emitting diode with conformal coating with absorbing for compliance to NVIS Green B, class A.
