  • Patent number: 7636076
    Abstract: The pixel in a transflective color LCD panel of the present invention has an additional sub-pixel area. The pixel is divided into three or more color sub-pixels in R, G, B and at least one sub-pixel M. Each of the color sub-pixels is divided into a transmission area and a reflection area to display color image data. The sub-pixel M can be entirely reflective or partially reflective for displaying a further image data. Two or more algorithms are used to compute the further image data based on the color image data. A selector is used to select one of the algorithms for displaying the further image data. The algorithm selection can be used by a user or automatically selected according to the brightness of ambient light. The transflective LCD panel can be used in a reflective mode when the ambient light reaches a brightness level.

    Abstract: At least two Fresnel lenses are formed on a transparent substrate, and a set of parallel plates are established in an acute included angle (from 19° to 90°) with the transparent substrate by an inclined exposure process employing a thick film photoresist. The parallel plates are separately placed over the Fresnel lenses. Metal layers are separately deposited on the outside surfaces of the parallel plates far from the acute included angle. A transparent polymeric material is overlaid on the surface of the transparent substrate till the parallel plates are immersed. An objective lens, placed over a photo detector, is formed on the surface of the transparent polymeric material. A laser diode is placed at a location on the surface of the substrate opposite to one of the Fresnel lenses, and the photo detector is placed at a location on the surface of that opposite to another of the Fresnel lenses.
