  • Publication number: 20140016321
    Abstract: A lamp including a light source, a reflective unit and a light modulation module is provided. The light source provides an illuminating light, and the reflective unit reflects the illuminating light. The light modulation module is disposed between the light source and the reflective unit. In the light modulation module, a region where movable light absorbing materials exist is a light absorbing region, and a region where the movable light absorbing materials are absent is a light penetration region. By applying different electrical fields to the movable light absorbing materials, sizes and locations of the light absorbing region and the light penetration region can be changed. A portion of the illuminating light irradiating the light penetration region penetrates through the light penetration region, is transmitted to the reflective unit, being reflected by the reflective unit, and penetrates through the light penetration region again sequentially.

  • Patent number: 8537455
    Abstract: A display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a plurality of display units and a plurality of partitioning walls. The second substrate is disposed above the first substrate. The display units are disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and each of the display units has a dielectric solvent. The partitioning walls are disposed between adjacent display units correspondingly, and a dielectric constant of each of the partitioning walls is less than that of the dielectric solvent adjacent thereto. Because the dielectric constant of the partition walls is less than that of the dielectric solvent adjacent to the partition wall, a capacitance value induced at the partition wall by a driving voltage can be decreased. Thus, crosstalk phenomena can be avoided in the display unit that is not driven.
