  • Publication number: 20140118644
    Abstract: A liquid crystal (LC) lens includes first and second substrates, an LC layer disposed therebetween, and a plurality of first and second electrode structures. Each electrode structure has a plurality of first, second, third and fourth electrodes spaced-apart and alternately arranged along a first direction, where the first and second electrodes are disposed between the first substrate and the LC layer, while the third and fourth electrodes are disposed between the second substrate and the LC layer. In each first electrode structure, each of the first and second electrodes and a corresponding one of the third and fourth electrodes are aligned at a left tilted angle, while in each second electrode structure, each of the first and second electrodes and a corresponding one of the third and fourth electrodes are aligned at a right tilted angle. The first and second electrode structures are alternately arranged along a second direction.

  • Publication number: 20140049620
    Abstract: An entertainment displaying system for generating interactive displaying effects corresponding to a real object in view of an observation area is disclosed. The entertainment displaying system includes a tracking module, a computing module and a stereoscopic displaying module. The tracking module is used for tracking a relative position relationship between the real object and the observation area. The computing module is configured for generating a stereoscopic virtual object according to the relative position relationship. The stereoscopic displaying module includes a transparent displaying apparatus and an optical-shielding structure. The transparent displaying apparatus is configured for displaying the stereoscopic virtual object. The optical-shielding structure is disposed adjacent to the transparent displaying apparatus and located between the transparent displaying apparatus and the real object.

  • Publication number: 20140022145
    Abstract: A control method for image displaying applicable for use to a dual-side transparent display. The control method includes the following operations each required to be executed at least one time in a display period. The operations are: providing a left-eye signal of an image displayed on a first display surface of the dual-side transparent display, to a first side thereof; providing a right-eye signal of an image displayed on the first display surface of the dual-side transparent display, to the first side thereof; providing a left-eye signal of an image displayed on a second display surface of the dual-side transparent display, to a second side thereof; providing a right-eye signal of an image displayed on the second display surface of the dual-side transparent display, to the second side thereof; and configuring the dual-side transparent display to present a transparent state. A display system is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130314627
    Abstract: An electrically-driven liquid crystal lens panel includes a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer, alignment layers, and electrode layers. The electrode layer is disposed between the alignment layer and the substrate, has effective and non-effective regions, and includes electrodes. Each electrode has main and extending portions and a turning point, wherein the turning points are disposed at sites at which the main portions and the extending portions connect, the main portions extends along a first extending direction, and each extending portion extends along a second extending direction different from the first extending direction. The second extending direction is substantially parallel to an alignment direction of the alignment layer. A connecting line formed by connecting the turning points is a boundary between the effective region and the non-effective region, wherein the main portions are disposed in the effective region, and the extending portions are disposed in the non-effective region.

  • Publication number: 20120293759
    Abstract: A switchable three-dimensional (3D) display includes a display device and a switchable parallax barrier that is disposed on the display device. The switchable parallax barrier includes a first electrode structure, a second electrode structure, and a liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal layer is located between the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure. The first electrode structure includes a planar electrode, a plurality of first bar electrodes electrically connected to one another, and an insulating layer. A partial region of the planar electrode is not covered by the first bar electrodes. The insulating layer is disposed between the planar electrode and the first bar electrodes, so that the planar electrode is electrically insulated from the first bar electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7594747
    Abstract: A direct-type backlight module and a lamp holder thereof are disclosed. The lamp holder includes a plurality of lamp seats, and a plurality of connecting arms each connected with at least one adjacent lamp seat. Each lamp seat has a retaining portion for retaining a corresponding lamp therein. Each connecting arm has a bendable portion that can be bent along a horizontal direction so as to adjust a distance between adjacent lamp seats. Therefore, the lamp holder of the present invention has a capability to retain several lamp groups spaced at different intervals for different LCD types or with lamp assembly tolerances, and thereby achieves a higher convenience in the LCD assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070109852
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell based on a soft breakdown mechanism is provided. The memory cell comprises a resistor coupled serially to a gate or source/drain regions of a MOS device. When a soft breakdown occurs to the MOS device, leakage current flowing through the gate dielectric increases. The change of the leakage current is used to indicate different states.
