  • Publication number: 20070242191
    Abstract: A color image display element having a color wavelength division device. The color wavelength division device contains a light transmitting three-dimensional microstructure formed on a two-dimensional surface, said two-dimensional surface being a surface of a transparent substrate. The three-dimensional microstructure is made to have a localized light-diffractive profile such that white light of an incident backlight source will be divided into wavelengths of red, green, and blue, and these red, green, blue wavelengths will be respective focused at a target projected plane.

  • Publication number: 20050145867
    Abstract: A planar package structure for high power light emitting diode, comprising: a substrate; a package material; a light emitting diode chip disposed on the substrate, having a main light emitting surface served as a light source; and a planar optical modulation unit disposed on the package material, so that the planar optical modulation unit is above the main light emitting surface, and utilized for modulating the optical phase of the light source. The planar optical modulation unit can perform a refractive optical phase modulation or a diffractive optical phase modulation such that a thin and planar high power light emitting diode package element with function of optical phase modulation is obtained.
