  • Publication number: 20070281144
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for forming a flexible electro-optic film. The method comprises steps of providing a first substrate having a conductive layer formed thereon and then forming a first locating structure over the conductive layer, wherein the locating structure includes target regions and periphery regions. The surface tension of the target regions is difference from that of the periphery regions. Thereafter, an electro-optic medium placing process for forming an electro-optic droplet on each of the target regions is performed. A solidifying process for forming a capsule wall covering the electro-optic droplet on each of the target regions is performed. The first substrate is laminated with a second substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070268446
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to liquid crystal devices and methods for forming the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to liquid crystal devices easy to be fabricated. Such liquid crystal devices exhibit excellent display characteristics such as a high contrast with a simple structure. The liquid crystal liquid crystal device includes a plurality of encapsulated liquid crystal composite filled in between substrates. In particular, the liquid crystal composite comprises liquid crystal molecules and fine-particles, and is optically isotropic when the voltage applied to the electrode layer is lower than a threshold value and undergoes optical transition due to change in the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules when the applied voltage is equal to or higher than the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20040100639
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a three-dimensional surface profile of an object comprising a plurality of object points. First, a grating projector is provided to direct an incident beam of light having a pattern at the object. Then, a resultantly formed grating image of a line profile of the object is received and stored in a multi-line photoelectric image device. Next, the outputs of the grating projector and the multi-line photoelectric image device are taken together to form the phase shifter and the object is shifted opposite to a phase shifter. The above steps are repeated until all object points are imaged on the multi-line photoelectric image device. Finally, a phase of each object point is determined, each phase transformed and rectified to a height by an appropriate trigonometric algorithm for viewing on a display device.
