  • Patent number: 10019952
    Abstract: The liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display includes a polarization beam splitter (PBS), a light source, a LCoS panel and a gain control circuit. The PBS has a first side and a second side. The light source is disposed at the first side of the PBS. The gain control circuit receives brightness values. Each of the brightness values has a coordinate which is based on a coordinate axis extending from the first side of the PBS to the second side.

  • Publication number: 20080309840
    Abstract: A pixel element and a liquid crystal display with discharge function are disclosed. In each of the pixel elements of the liquid crystal display, a transistor is disposed between the common electrode and the pixel electrode. The transistor will be turned on by a discharge signal sent from the master control unit of the liquid crystal display when the liquid crystal display is turned on or turned off, so as to provide the same common voltage to both the common electrode and the pixel electrode. Therefore, the positive and negative charges accumulated in the common electrode and the pixel electrode can be removed and the liquid crystal display is well protected.
