  • Patent number: 11543670
    Abstract: A polarizing beam splitter assembly for directing image light on an input path into multiple exit light paths comprises multiple prisms with edges that meet to form a seam. The polarizing beam splitter assembly includes a diffracting element prior to the seam in the input light path. The diffracting element comprises a geometry that performs at least one of blocking a portion of the image light and scattering a portion of the image light.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10669633
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention involve a technique and process for coating fine diameter, single strand wire of long continuous lengths with Parylene. The special fixture design and process allows for ultra thin (as thin as 0.2 micron), pore free, coatings. The advantages of this technology allow for wire products that offer minimal intrusion, superior routing and winding characteristics, and high heat and chemical resistance. The coating process can also be used for other types of material.

  • Patent number: 8810758
    Abstract: A liquid crystal alignment layer both offers a surface to which the liquid crystal molecules align, and maintains conductive properties required for the liquid crystal molecules to be manipulated by an applied electrical field. Advantages of the alignment layer offer reduced device degradation and improved stability under conventional or high intensity radiation, and also simplify the liquid crystal display or device construction.

  • Patent number: 6825909
    Abstract: The invention relates to liquid crystal displays and method of making liquid crystal displays. One liquid crystal display invention has as an element an optically transmissive first substrate that may be positioned to receive light incident from the light source. A reflective second substrate is positioned adjacent to this first substrate. The second substrate has an active area that may include a circuit panel and a perimeter seal area surrounding that active area. To separate the first substrate from the second substrate, spacers are configured about the perimeter seal area of the second substrate. Between the first substrate and the second substrate is a liquid crystal material. Other embodiments are disclosed.
