Abstract: A boost converter includes an inductor and a diode electrically connected in series between an input voltage and an output voltage; a transistor electrically coupled to an interconnected node of the inductor and the diode; and a controller that controls switching of the transistor according to a transient mode and an estimated load current. The output voltage in a light-to-heavy load transient mode has at least one first valley point with a value of a transient voltage threshold, followed by at least one second valley point with a value higher than the first valley point, before exiting the light-to-heavy load transient mode.

Abstract: A projection system including an illumination unit, a polarization conversion unit, a light valve, a projection lens, and a polarizing beam split (PBS) element is provided. The polarization conversion unit includes a V-shaped PBS element, a wave plate, and two reflective surfaces. The V-shaped PBS element includes a first PBS portion and a second PBS portion. The first PBS portion is adapted to be passed through by a first partial beam with a first polarization direction and reflect a second partial beam with a second polarization direction. The second PBS portion is adapted to be passed through by a third partial beam with the first polarization direction and reflect a fourth partial beam with the second polarization direction. The wave plate is disposed in the transmission paths of the first partial beam and the third partial beam. The reflective surfaces are located at opposite sides of the V-shaped PBS element.

Abstract: A liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display panel with reducing fringe effect is provided herein. The liquid crystal on silicon display panel includes a common electrode, a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of pixel electrodes and control electrodes, a passivation layer on the pixel electrodes and a part of the semiconductor substrate, an anti-reflection coating (ARC) layers on the control electrodes, a transparent substrate on the semiconductor substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the transparent substrate and the semiconductor substrate, wherein each of the control electrodes is disposed between and isolated with two adjacent ones of the pixel electrodes.
