Abstract: Exemplary subpixel structures include a directional light-emitting diode structure characterized by a full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of emitted light having a divergence angle of less than or about 10°. The subpixel structure further includes a lens positioned a first distance from the light-emitting diode structure, where the lens is shaped to focus the emitted light from the light-emitting diode structure. The subpixel structure still further includes a patterned light absorption barrier positioned a second distance from the lens. The patterned light absorption barrier defines an opening in the barrier, and the focal point of the light focused by the lens is positioned within the opening. The subpixels structures may be incorporated into a pixel structure, and pixel structures may be incorporated into a display that is free of a polarizer layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to 3D imaging capable OLED displays. A light field display comprises an array of 3D light field pixels, each of which comprises an array of corrugated OLED pixels, a metasurface layer disposed adjacent to the array of 3D light field pixels, and a plurality of median layers disposed between the metasurface layer and the corrugated OLED pixels. Each of the corrugated OLED pixels comprises primary or non-primary color subpixels, and produces a different view of an image through the median layers to the metasurface to form a 3D image. The corrugated OLED pixels combined with a cavity effect reduce a divergence of emitted light to enable effective beam direction manipulation by the metasurface. The metasurface having a higher refractive index and a smaller filling factor enables the deflection and direction of the emitted light from the corrugated OLED pixels to be well controlled.

Abstract: An encryption and decryption system is provided, which includes a transmitting device and a receiving device. The transmitting device is configured to store original images and a correspondence table. The receiving device is connected to the transmitting device for storing the correspondence table, wherein the transmitting device generates an encrypted string. The transmitting device selects a representative morphed image from multiple morphed images according to the encrypted string. The transmitting device transmits the representative morphed image to the receiving device and does not transmit the encrypted string to the receiving device. The receiving device recognizes the first original image serial number and the second original image serial number from the representative morphed image. The receiving device looks up the correspondence table according to the first original image serial number and the second original image serial number to generate the encrypted string.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a general, highly effective and scalable extraction-enhancing OLED display pixel structure based on embedding the OLED inside a three-dimensional reflective concave structure selectively filled with a high-index filler material. Such a structure is able to couple as much as possible internally generated photons into the filler region and then redirect otherwise confined light for out-coupling via the reflective concave structure. Ultimately high light extraction efficiency approaching ˜80% and excellent viewing characteristics are simultaneously achievable with optimized structures using highly transparent top electrodes. This scheme is scalable and wavelength insensitive, and thus can be generally applied to all red, green, and blue pixel OLEDs in high-resolution full-color displays.
