Abstract: A lens includes a lens portion; a multilayer anti-reflective (AR) coating layer, including either one or both of a low refractive index layer and a high refractive index layer, disposed on one surface of the lens portion; and a water-repellent layer, including a water repellent, disposed on one surface of the multilayer AR coating layer. Either one or both of the low refractive index layer and the high refractive index layer are formed of a nitride-based material with a band gap greater than 3.1 eV.

Abstract: A light emitting device may include: a substrate; a light emitting element located on the substrate and configured to emit light; a first electrode and a second electrode spaced from each other with the light emitting element interposed therebetween; a color conversion layer located on the substrate and configured to convert light emitted from the light emitting element into light having a specific color; a first contact electrode configured to electrically couple the first electrode with a first end of the light emitting element; and a second contact electrode configured to electrically couple the second electrode with a second end of the light emitting element. In a plan view, the color conversion layer may be spaced from the light emitting element and overlaps with at least one of the first and the second contact electrodes.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an immune-enhancing composition comprising Lactobacillus rhamnosus LM1019 and starter strains. An immune-enhancing composition comprising Lactobacillus rhamnosus LM1019 and starter strains according to the present disclosure has an excellent immune-enhancing effect by increasing the amount of nitric oxide (NO) produced and improving the TNF-? secretion ability. Also, since the immune-enhancing composition contains the starter strain, it can be used to produce fermented milk. Under the provisions of the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, the Lactobacillus rhamnosus LM1019 strain was deposited with the international depositary authority: the Korean Culture Center of Microorganisms (KCCM) on Aug. 11, 2017, under the Accession Number: KCCM12308P.

Abstract: A direct-view display apparatus includes a transparent substrate, an internal light source, a plurality of light modulators coupled to the transparent substrate, and a controller for controlling the states of the plurality of light modulators and the internal light source. The controller is configured to cause the display to transition from one of a transmissive, reflective and transflective mode, to a second of said modes.

Abstract: Display devices incorporating light modulators are disclosed along with methods of manufacturing such devices. According to some aspects of the invention, a control matrix for controlling light modulators of a display includes a light absorbing layer that includes a material having a substantially light absorbing property.

Abstract: Improved apparatus and method for collecting and directing light from a source via a light guide and modulated display assembly in an efficient manner through the design and use of prismatic optical structures, diffusers and/or light redirectors.

Abstract: Light guides and backlight systems are disclosed that include one or more groups of geometric light redirectors whose arrangement and/or orientation across the surface of a light guide varies to improve light emission uniformity and to reduce visual artifacts.
