  • Publication number: 20140085853
    Abstract: A display apparatus including a display and a waveguide plate is provided. The display panel includes multiple rows of display units and multiple rows of solar cell units. The display units and the solar cell units are substantially parallel to a first direction and alternately arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The waveguide plate is disposed at one side of the display panel. A first side of the waveguide plate adjacent to the display panel includes multiple microstructures. First and second structure surfaces of each microstructure respectively correspond to one row of the display units and one row of the solar cell units. When the display apparatus is disposed such that the second direction is perpendicular to a ground surface, an inclination of the first structure surface makes a thickness of the waveguide plate gradually decrease along an upward direction from the ground surface.

    Abstract: An image sensor for detecting a first and a second image light in different directions is disclosed. The image sensing device comprises a polarization beam splitter, a liquid crystal switch, a polarizer, a lens module and an image sensing device. The polarization beam splitter receives and splits the first and the second image light respectively into a first penetrative light, a first reflective light, a second penetrative light and a second reflective light. The liquid crystal switch controls the phase delay of the first and the second reflective light. The polarizer is disposed on the light emitting side of the liquid switch to control the passage of the first or the second reflective light. The lens module focuses the first or the second reflective light at a focal point. The image sensing device is disposed at the focal point to sense the focused first or second reflective light.
