  • Patent number: 11841586
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display has position-adjustable light sources. The light sources may be lamps, LEDs, or other emissive components. The light sources, however, are movable to adjust the locations or positions of their light outputs. The light sources ride upon electromagnet carriers. When currents are applied to the electromagnet carriers, each electromagnet carrier creates a corresponding magnetic field. The magnetic fields cause neighboring electromagnet carriers to attract or to repel, depending on the magnitude/polarity of the currents. The lateral and vertical positions of the electromagnet carriers may thus be adjusted by varying their respective currents and magnetic fields. Because the light sources ride on the electromagnet carriers, the light sources may be moved to refine an image generated by the liquid crystal display. The light sources, for example, may be moved to improve white/black contracts to reduce halo-effects.

  • Patent number: 8823785
    Abstract: A display system including a display apparatus for displaying a first image and a second image, two first lenses and two second lenses is provided. When a viewer sees the display apparatus via one first lenses and one second lenses, and the first image as well as the second image are parallax images, the first and second images are respectively saw by different eyes of the viewer. When the viewer sees the display apparatus through the two first lenses, and the first image as well as the second image are not parallax images, the first image irrelevant to the second image is saw by the viewer. When the viewer sees the display apparatus through the two second lenses, and the first image as well as the second image are not parallax images, the second image irrelevant to the first image is saw by the viewer.

  • Publication number: 20110261299
    Abstract: A three-dimensional display includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a polarizer, a composite optical film, a phase retarder, and an adhesive layer. The LCD panel has a display surface and a rear surface opposite to the display surface. The polarizer is disposed on the rear surface. The composite optical film is disposed on the display surface. The composite optical film includes a quarter wave plate and at least one optical film located between the LCD panel and the quarter wave plate. The phase retarder has a plurality of phase retardation patterns separated from one another, and phase retardation of each phase retardation pattern is ?/2. The adhesive layer is disposed between the composite optical film and the phase retarder, and the phase retarder adheres to the quarter wave plate through the adhesive layer.
