  • Publication number: 20060268204
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display has a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight and a dark layer. The liquid crystal display panel has an upper polarizer, a liquid crystal cell, and a lower polarizer, and the two polarizers both have wide view optical compensation films. The light emitted from the backlight is transmitted to a viewer through the lower polarizer, the liquid crystal cell, and the upper polarizer, sequentially. The dark layer of the invention is placed between the backlight and the viewer, and it lowers the dark-state brightness of the liquid crystal display to improve the downward angle view contrast ratio thereof to be greater than 10.

  • Publication number: 20060077556
    Abstract: A structure of light control membrane is mainly comprised of a single layer of light-conducting membrane as a substrate, wherein the surface of the light-conducting membrane particularly has an opaque zone in spiral shape or multi-layer circular rippling wave shape. When a user views an image through the light-conducting membrane, the opaque zone in spiral shape or multi-layer circular rippling wave shape will make the image visible only within a specific range of viewing angle while, out of the specific range of viewing angle, the image is invisible.

  • Publication number: 20050153066
    Abstract: A transparent resin having a plurality of transparent particles is spread on an optical sheet. The transparent resin is exposed to ultraviolet light of a first power and then cured by ultraviolet light of a second power, which is greater than the first power. Thus, surface optical layers with different optical properties are easily obtained by only adjusting the power of ultraviolet light, without changing the original content of the surface optical layer or the parameters of its spreading process.

  • Publication number: 20050073629
    Abstract: A privacy apparatus has a transparent substrate and a liquid crystal layer formed on the transparent substrate. A thickness of the liquid crystal layer determines a range of viewing angles for the privacy apparatus; and when the thickness is greater, the range of viewing angles is smaller. Moreover, an absorption axis of the liquid crystal layer is substantially parallel to the transparent substrate and is substantially perpendicular to the range of viewing angles.

  • Publication number: 20050070632
    Abstract: An antiglare film applicable to polarizers or displays includes a light-transparent resin, first light-transparent particles dispersed on surface of the light-transparent resin and second light-transparent particles dispersed inside the resin. The first light-transparent particles have a same refractive index as that of the resin and particle diameters of 9 to 500 nanometers that provide a less roughness surface of the resin in order to prevent from large angle diffusion to the interior light and improve clarity of image. The second particles have a different refractive index from the resin so as to diffuse the exterior light that comes to the antiglare film so as to decrease glare. The antiglare film can be made by one time of coating. The two layer light-transparent particles provide light interference and achieve a low reflectivity.
