  • Patent number: 10598985
    Abstract: A front-lit display includes a light source, a coupling lens, a first and a second polarizers, a light guide plate, and a reflective display panel. The light guide plate has a first surface, a second surface, a side surface connecting the first and second surfaces, and light guiding microstructures located between the first and second surfaces. The first polarizer, the coupling lens, and the light source are sequentially disposed at a side of the side surface. Light emitting elements of the light source that emit light beams of different colors are arranged along a first direction instead of a second direction. The first direction is parallel to the side surface and the first surface, and the second direction is parallel to the side surface and perpendicular to the first surface. The coupling lens includes vertical columnar structures arranged along the first direction and respectively extending along the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20170045768
    Abstract: Provided is a method of fabricating a liquid crystal display panel. An active device array substrate and an opposite substrate are provided, wherein the active device array substrate includes a first substrate and a first electrode layer, and the opposite substrate includes a second substrate and a second electrode layer. A first alignment film is formed on the first electrode layer and a second alignment film is formed on the second electrode layer. A sealant composition including an adhesive and conductive particles is applied on one of the first alignment film and the second alignment film. The active device array substrate and the opposite substrate are assembled, wherein the assembling step includes heating the sealant composition so as to merge a part of the conductive particles into a conductive material piercing through the first alignment film and the second alignment film, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20160048060
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light source device for a reflective microdisplay panel is disclosed. The light source device comprises: a first light bar, disposed on a first side of the reflective microdisplay panel. The first light bar comprises: a substrate, a plurality of micro LED units, and a controlling unit. The micro LED units are formed on the substrate, each micro LED unit corresponding to a screen area of the reflective microdisplay panel. The controlling unit is coupled to the micro LED units, and utilized for controlling luminance of each of the micro LED units individually according to luminance of the screen areas of the reflective microdisplay panel.
