Abstract: A metal piece is provided with a pattern that exhibits different visual effects when it is viewed at different angles. At first, an as-cast metal piece is provided. Then, the metal piece is polished. The metal piece is cleaned. A layer is provided on the metal piece by providing colorant on the metal piece. An outline is provided on the bottom layer. A portion of the bottom layer is removed from the outline. Grooves are made in the outline before the metal piece is cleaned again. The grooves extend in a desired sense of direction and are at a desired depth. A colored pattern is provided by filling colorant in the outline. The colored pattern is dried. Grooves are made in the colored pattern before the metal piece is cleaned again. A protective layer is provided on the bottom layer and the colored pattern. The protective layer is dried.

Abstract: A transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes a plurality of pixel units, each pixel unit including a thin film transistor (TFT), a coupling capacitor, a first liquid crystal capacitor, and a second liquid crystal capacitor. The first liquid crystal capacitor is formed by a first common electrode, a liquid crystal layer, and a transmissive electrode, and the second liquid crystal capacitor is formed by a second common electrode, the liquid crystal layer, and a reflective area. The TFT is electrically connected to the first liquid crystal capacitor, and is also electrically connected to the second liquid crystal capacitor via the coupling capacitor.

Abstract: Briefly described, one embodiment of the system, among others, can be implemented as follows. The system includes a computer control system and an environmental light source that is controlled by the computer control system such that an amount of light provided by the environmental light source is adjusted by the computer control so that ocular parameters of an examinee are within a targeted range. Further, the system includes an irradiation system that provides multiple angle and axial eccentricity illuminations and selective wavelength irradiation based upon instructions received from the computer control system, wherein the computer control system instructs the irradiation system to provide different irradiation characteristics for different screening procedures. Also, the system includes an image detection system that captures ocular images of the examinee, wherein the computer control system analyzes captured images and provides results of in-situ analysis. Other systems and methods are also provided.
