    Abstract: The present invention teaches an array substrate and a liquid crystal (LCD) panel including the array substrate. The array substrate contains a substrate, a number of scan lines, a number of data lines, and a number of common scan lines. The scan lines and the common scan lines are alternately interleaved with the data lines on the substrate so as to form a number of pixel units. Each pixel unit contains a main pixel unit and a sub pixel unit. The sub pixel units from two neighboring pixel units share a common scan line which drives the two sub pixel units simultaneously. As such, the number of common scan lines is reduced, thereby enhancing pixel aperture ratio.

    Abstract: A waveguide includes an array of p-i-n junctions formed by ions implanted into the waveguide. The p-i-n junctions concentrate electric fields applied on the waveguide to convert the third order susceptibility ?(3) into the second order susceptibility ?(2) and induce the DC Kerr effect. The periodic electrical fields concentrated by the p-i-n junctions effectively create a wave vector, which together with the wave vectors of optical beams in the waveguide satisfies phase matching conditions for nonlinear optical effects. The phase matching can significantly enhance the efficiency of the nonlinear optical effects, such as second harmonic generation, sum frequency generation, difference frequency generation, and four-wave mixing. Waveguides with arrays of PIN junctions can also be used in phase modulators, amplitude modulators, and filters.
