  • Publication number: 20130176299
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel and an active parallax barrier panel. The display panel displays n numbers of viewpoint images on a display panel (‘n’ is natural numbers greater than 2). The active parallax barrier panel includes a plurality of barrier units. Each of the barrier units includes an opening portion and a blocking area divided into m numbers of sub-areas. The active parallax barrier panel selectively opens the m numbers of sub-areas to exit the m numbers of viewpoint images on (n×m) numbers of viewpoint positions (‘m’ is natural numbers greater than 2). Thus, an active parallax barrier panel is time-division driven to display multi-viewpoint images.

  • Publication number: 20130176521
    Abstract: In a photo alignment method, a substrate and a mask are aligned so that the substrate is spaced apart from the mask by a predetermined gap. An organic layer is formed on the substrate. The mask has a transmission portion and a light blocking portion. Light is irradiated through the mask in a direction substantially parallel with an interface between the transmission portion and the light blocking portion of the mask. Polymer chains are formed on an upper portion of the organic layer. The polymer chains are aligned in an alignment direction toward an incident direction of the light. Locations of the substrate and the mask are sensed in real time. The mask is transported to a predetermined location with respect to the substrate based on the sensed locations of the substrate and the mask.
