  • Publication number: 20110019132
    Abstract: A cholesteric liquid crystal display device includes: a plurality of pixel units arranged two-dimensionally between two transparent substrates. Each of the plurality of pixel units includes a cholesteric liquid crystal layer having a single-layer structure. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer includes: a liquid crystal molecule; a chiral dopant; and an optically polymerizable polymer. The chiral dopant is mixed with the liquid crystal molecule to form a cholesteric phase and has a solubility that varies with respect to the liquid crystal molecule according to temperature. The optically polymerizable polymer is cured to fix a helix pitch of the cholesteric phase.

  • Patent number: 7142258
    Abstract: An image distortion correcting apparatus is provided tat is capable of correcting keystone distortion and pincushion distortion in a video display device. The apparatus may include a reference image generating device for generating a reference image and setting a coordinate of the reference image. A displacement measuring device may display the reference image on a screen and measure a coordinate of the displayed image. A distortion information extracting device may extract distortion information on the basis of a coordinate value of the set reference image and a coordinate value of the measured image and generating inverse-distortion information. Still further, a distortion correcting device may generate an inverse-distorted (pre-warping) image of the reference image on the basis of the generated inverse-distortion information.
