Publication number: 20070075949Abstract: A gray-scale driving method for a bi-stable chiral nematic liquid crystal display is provided. The present method divides an updated picture into a first-section frame, a second-section frame and a third-section frame. The present invented method includes to drive the first-section frame into a predetermined initial state, and drive the second-section frame by line-by-line scanning by writing updated gray-scale frame data into the pixels, then pull the third-section frame to zero voltage for the pixels such that bi-stable chiral nematic liquid crystal relaxes to stable states corresponding to the write-in gray-scale frame data. Meanwhile, a purpose to maintain the updated picture without any consumption of power is obtained. The total power consumption can be significantly reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2006Publication date: April 5, 2007Applicant: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chih Lu, Chung Chang, Tai Chen, Chi Liao, Wei Hsu

Patent number: 6879750Abstract: This invention provides a novel wavelength-separating-routing (WSR) apparatus that uses a diffraction grating to separate a multi-wavelength optical signal by wavelength into multiple spectral channels, which are then focused onto an array of corresponding channel micromirrors. The channel micromirrors are individually controllable and continuously pivotable to reflect the spectral channels into selected output ports. As such, the inventive WSR apparatus is capable of routing the spectral channels on a channel-by-channel basis and coupling any spectral channel into any one of the output ports. The WSR apparatus of the present invention may be further equipped with servo-control and spectral power-management capabilities, thereby maintaining the coupling efficiencies of the spectral channels into the output ports at desired values.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2003Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Capella Photonics, Inc.Inventors: Tai Chen, Jeffrey P.
