  • Publication number: 20230071211
    Abstract: An anti-glare substrate, an anti-reflection film, and a display device are disclosed. The anti-glare substrate includes a first surface and a second surface disposed on opposite sides. The first surface includes a plurality of protrusion structures. Each protrusion structure includes a plurality of inclined planes. There is an angle ? between the normal direction of each inclined plane and the normal direction of the second surface. The sum of the vertical projection area of the inclined planes with ? less than 2.5° on the second surface is A<2.5, wherein the vertical projection area of the inclined planes is AT, wherein A < 2.5 A T ? 100 ? % ? 3.58 % . The anti-reflection film is for use with an anti-glare substrate. For a first assembly formed by disposing the anti-reflection film on the anti-glare substrate, the reflectances to blue ray, to green ray, and to red ray are close. The display device includes the anti-glare substrate and a display panel.

  • Patent number: 9282223
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a curved display apparatus and a gamma correction method thereof. The curved display apparatus includes first, second, and third regions and a driving module. The first and third regions are located respectively along two opposite edges of the curved display apparatus, while the second region is located between the first and third regions. A control signal instructs the curved display apparatus to display by a grayscale value. The driving module is configured to receive the control signal and thereby generate first, second, and third voltage commands for the three regions respectively, in order to drive the three regions. According to the disclosed gamma correction method, the absolute voltage values indicated by the first and third voltage commands is less than that by the second voltage command when the grayscale value is not greater than a threshold value.
