  • Patent number: 8629959
    Abstract: An optical compensation film includes an optical film and a retardation film. The optical film provides a plate retardation in the direction of thickness (Rth), while the retardation film is disposed on the optical film. The retardation film includes first retarders and second retarders, wherein the first retarders are disposed on at least partial areas of the optical film and provide a first planar retardation (Ro1); the second retarders are disposed on partial areas of the optical film but outside the first retarders and provide a second planar retardation (Ro2) and the first planar retardation (Ro1) is different from the second planar retardation (Ro2). The above-mentioned optical compensation film is capable of compensating the displays for different display areas in a liquid crystal display panel. In addition, the present invention also provides a fabricating method of optical compensation film.

  • Patent number: 8508698
    Abstract: A dual view display structure and a method for producing the same are provided. First, a display panel is provided. Then, a patterned barrier layer is formed on a transparent substrate. The transparent substrate with the patterned barrier layer is attached to the display panel. Because there is a gap between the display panel and the patterned barrier layer, a liquid transparent material is injected into the gap to form a transparent material layer to fill the gap. The invention can not only increase the viewing angles of the dual view display, but also increase the production yield.

  • Publication number: 20120228618
    Abstract: A thin film transistor (TFT) structure is provided. The TFT comprises a gate, a first electrode, a second electrode, a dielectric layer, and a channel layer. By overlapping the area between the first electrode and the gate, the TFT structure acquires a parasitic capacitor that is unaffected by manufacture deviations. Therefore, the TFT needs no compensation capacitor, thereby, increasing the aperture ratio of the TFT.
