  • Patent number: 8013877
    Abstract: A method for rapidly generating the gray-level versus brightness curve of a display includes the step of obtaining a portion of the gray-level values and their corresponding brightness values. These values are then used in a mathematical formula to find variables to obtain the gray-level versus brightness curve.

  • Patent number: 7742057
    Abstract: A method of obtaining a new color temperature point as applied in a color display device. The color display device has a brightest temperature point when its red, green, and blue components are all in their brightest states. The method of obtaining a new color temperature point uses a mathematical method to find the new point which substantially satisfies the specific color temperature and also causes a minimum loss in brightness.

  • Patent number: 7740393
    Abstract: A light guide plate (LGP) adapted to a backlight module having a light emitting surface, a bottom surface opposite to the light emitting surface, and at least one light incident surface contacting with the light emitting surface and the bottom surface is provided. The bottom surface has a plurality of flat surfaces and a plurality of groove groups. The groove groups and the flat surfaces are arranged in an alternating fashion. Each of the groove groups has at least two grooves. Each of the grooves has a first slanted surface, a peak, and a second slanted surface intersecting with the first slanted surface at the peak. In each of the grooves, a first edge side of the first slanted surface away from the peak is at a first distance from a second edge side of the second slanted surface away from the peak.

  • Patent number: 7527415
    Abstract: A light guide plate has a bottom surface including flat surfaces (FSs) and a plurality of prism patterns (PPs) disposed alternately with the FSs, a light emitting surface (LES) and a light incident surface (LIS). Each FS is at a first distance respectively from the LES and the first distances gradually decrease along a direction away from the LIS. Each PP has a first slanted surface (FSS) and at least a groove having a second slanted surface (SSS) and a third slanted surface (TSS). The two opposite sides of the FSS are spaced out a second distance apart. The two opposite sides of the SSS are spaced out a third distance apart. The specific value of dividing a first orthogonal projection of the second distance on an axis perpendicular to the FSs by a second orthogonal projection of the third distance on the axis is between 0.5 and 1.5.

  • Publication number: 20080143753
    Abstract: A method of rapidly generating a gray-level versus brightness curve of display causes a color display to display a test image that includes a plurality of block images. Each block image has different gray-level value. By using a light detector and a color analyzing device, corresponding brightness values of the gray-level values can be obtained. Therefore, a gray-level versus brightness curve can be generated according to the gray-level values and their corresponding brightness values.
