Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for measuring skin changes caused by blue light. A device for measuring skin changes caused by blue light according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: at least one light source for irradiating light of a blue light band at different light amounts to a plurality of test areas set on a skin area to be tested; and a control unit for detecting a minimum pigmentation point among the test areas and calculating a light amount of the corresponding test area as a minimum pigmentation dose (MPD) for blue light. In addition, the present invention relates to a blue light irradiation device for irradiating a plurality of blue light beams in order to measure skin changes caused by blue light.

Abstract: An input sensing unit includes a touch sensing unit, which includes a plurality of driving electrodes, a plurality of sensing electrodes, and a driving signal generating unit which provides driving signals to the driving electrodes. The sensing electrodes are insulated from and intersect the driving electrodes. The driving signal generating unit includes touch drivers connected to driving electrodes and a digital-to-analog converter configured to provide a first signal or a second signal, and each of the touch drivers is connected to a preset number of driving electrodes among the driving electrodes.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display device, which may be fabricated using a described method. The display device includes a glass substrate including a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface, an outermost structure on the first surface of the glass substrate and located adjacent to an edge of one side of the glass substrate, and a display area including a plurality of light emitting areas on the first surface of the glass substrate and located farther from the edge of the one side of the glass substrate than the outermost structure is. A minimum distance from the side surface of the glass substrate to the outermost structure is equal to 130 ?m or less.

Abstract: Linear acylindrical lens (and array/system employing a plurality of such lens elements) containing liquid silicone rubber material for use in solar applications, as well as a low-cost silicone based optical lightguide(s) configured to channel and concentrate solar light with about 90% optical efficiency. The lens includes a transparent glass substrate (with an optional coating), which mechanically supports a moldable flexible silicone lenslet optical quality and is bonded to it with the use of plasma and in absence of adhesive material. When injection molding of lightguide(s) is employed, the lightguide shape can be formed variably to provide for integration of multiple lightguide s into an array with alignment tolerances that are looser than in a solar concentrator employing glass waveguides. Optical system employing such (arrayed) linear lens(es) concatenated with corresponding (arrayed) lightguides, juxtaposed with micro-CPV cells and conventional PV-cell(s) to capture diffused light.

Abstract: An athermal optical waveguide structure such as an optical add drop multiplexer (OADM) or the like is fabricated by a method that includes forming a lower cladding layer on a substrate. A waveguiding core layer is formed on the lower cladding layer. An upper cladding layer is formed on the waveguiding core layer and the lower cladding layer a sol-gel material. The sol-gel material includes an organically modified siloxane and a metal oxide. A thermo-optic coefficient of the sol-gel material is adjusted by curing the sol-gel material for a selected duration of time at a selected temperature such that the thermo-optic coefficient of the sol-gel material compensates for a thermo-optic coefficient of at least the waveguiding core layer such that an effective thermo-optic coefficient of the optical waveguide structure at a specified optical wavelength and over a specified temperature range is reduced.
