Publication number: 20240302697Abstract: An achromatic wave plate using multiple twisted nematic liquid crystal polymer films or negative dispersion A-plate films is described. Each layer of twisted nematic liquid crystal polymer film aligns a next layer during forming achieving a monolithic structure. The achromatic wave plate with multiple layers of negative dispersion A-plate material has a non-continuous, easy to fabricate structure. Both types of films may be flexible and allow application to curved surfaces. The films of both examples also allow for high achromaticity in forward and backward propagation, thus, permitting the wave plate to operate as an optical isolator. A quarter wave of retardance across the entire visible spectrum and up to a 30-degree angle of incidence may be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Sawyer MILLER, Hsien-Hui CHENG, Brian DAUGHERTY, Hannah NOBLE, Michael ESCUTI, Lu LU

Publication number: 20240302699Abstract: An object is to provide a display device that performs accurate display. A circuit is formed using a transistor that includes an oxide semiconductor and has a low off-state current. A precharge circuit or an inspection circuit is formed in addition to a pixel circuit. The off-state current is low because the oxide semiconductor is used. Thus, it is not likely that a signal or voltage is leaked in the precharge circuit or the inspection circuit to cause defective display. As a result, a display device that performs accurate display can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Hajime KIMURA, Atsushi UMEZAKI
