  • Publication number: 20100060133
    Abstract: A variable display structure having a first transmission layer that transmits only a first wavelength light and a second transmission layer that transmits only a second wavelength light are provided on a base layer. The variable display structure displays a first shape or a second shape, depending on the wavelength of emitted light. A first light adjustment layer located at overlapping portions where the first shape and the second shape overlap with each other, and a second light adjustment layer to cover the entire layer face of the base layer, are further formed on the base layer. The transmission characteristics of the second light adjustment layer are the same as the transmission characteristics of the first transmission layer.

  • Patent number: 7658519
    Abstract: A display device includes a first light source for emitting first light in blue, a second light source for emitting second light, and a color filter. The filter has a translucent sheet, a first printed area part for passing the first light to provide a first display excluding an overlapped portion of the first display and a second display and preventing the second light from passing therethrough, a second printed area part for passing the second light to provide the second display excluding the overlapped portion and preventing the first light from passing therethrough, a third printed area part for dimming and passing the first and second lights to provide the overlapped portion, a background printed area part for preventing the first and second lights from passing therethrough, and a white light converting part for the first light passing therethrough into white light.

  • Patent number: 7581342
    Abstract: A display device includes an ultraviolet light source, a color light source, and a filter selectively hit by their lights. The filter has a first area part for displaying the first display contents excluding an overlapped parts when the ultraviolet light is emitted, a second area part for the second display contents excluding the overlapped parts when the color light is emitted, and a third display part for displaying the overlapped parts when one of the ultraviolet and color light is emitted. The first area part blocks the color light and produces visible light when the ultraviolet light hits the first area part, the second area part allows the ultraviolet and color lights to pass therethrough, and the third area part allows the ultraviolet and color lights to pass therethrough and produces the visible light when the ultraviolet light hits the third area part.
