  • Patent number: 11982905
    Abstract: A pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a backlight. The backlight may include a two-dimensional array of light-emitting diodes, with each light-emitting diode being placed in a respective cell. Different light-emitting diodes may have unique brightness magnitudes based on the content of the given display frame. Driver integrated circuits may control one or more associated light-emitting diodes to have a desired brightness level. The driver integrated circuits may be formed in an active area of the backlight. The driver integrated circuits may be arranged in groups that are daisy chained together. A digital signal (that includes information such as addressing information) may be propagated through the group of driver integrated circuits. To manage thermal performance of the backlight, the backlight may include a thermally conductive layer and/or a heat sink structure. To increase the efficiency of the backlight, the backlight may include one or more reflective layers.

  • Patent number: 6940604
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thin-film inspection device with two or more light sources. This device can control the wavelength and intensity of light and illuminate the lights with different incident angles, and are used to control the interference intensity, thereby determining optimal inspection conditions to obtain a reliable inspection result even when different kinds of thin films coexist. The thin films are formed on a flat plate and have different indices of refraction and thicknesses. An incident light control unit is disposed between the illumination unit and the flat plate for controlling the light to be incident on the patterns. A sensor unit detects a reflection light from the patterns. A reflection light control unit is disposed between the flat plate and the sensor unit and controls the light to be detected by the sensor unit. A control unit controls the movement of the illumination unit and the sensor unit.
