  • Patent number: 8279358
    Abstract: A complex image display device comprises a light source, an illumination optical module, a micro display module, at least one optical projection module, at least one image-light-path switch module, an image-light-path control unit, and at least one image display screen, wherein the light source provides a light beam, the illumination optical module receives and shapes the light beam, continuously the light beam is projected by the illumination optical module. The micro display module provides an image-to-be-displayed and the light beam is then modulated by the image to become at least an image-modulated light beam for displaying. Then, the optical projection module receives and magnifies the image-modulated light beam. Continuously, the image-light-path switch module receives the magnified image-modulated light beam and switches the light path of the light beam.

  • Publication number: 20080152901
    Abstract: A nano-structure optical insulating membrane includes a substrate, a nano-structure layer formed on the substrate, and a metal layer formed on the nano-structure layer is disclosed. Upon exposure to light, the nano-structure layer increases visible light transmission but reduces internal reflection, and the metal layer blocks infrared light and thereby provides thermal insulation. The nano-structure optical insulating membrane of the present invention enhances illumination, spares lighting equipment, saves energy, and enables users to see farther.
