  • Patent number: 11442322
    Abstract: A light control sheet including a light control layer sandwiched between first and second orientation layers and including a polymer network in which domains are dispersed and filled with a liquid crystal composition including a liquid crystal molecule and a dichroic dye, a pair of transparent electrodes sandwiching the orientation layers, and a polarizing layer positioned on an opposite side of the first orientation layer to the light control layer. The light control layer has a transmittance that increases upon application of a driving voltage to the pair of transparent electrodes. When the driving voltage is not applied between the transparent electrodes, the orientation layers orient the liquid crystal molecule and the dichroic dye horizontally to the orientation layers and orient an orient absorption ax of the dichroic dye to cross an absorption axis of the polarizing layer as viewed in a thickness direction of the light control layer.

  • Patent number: 11442589
    Abstract: A touch panel and a manufacturing method thereof, a display panel and a display device are described. The touch panel includes a substrate; a touch electrode arranged on the substrate; and a light processing structure arranged on a surface of the touch electrode to scatter light irradiated thereon so as to reduce reflection of light by the surface of the touch electrode. By arranging the light processing structure on the surface of the touch electrode, the touch panel can make light irradiated on the surface of the touch electrode to be scattered so as to reduce reflection of light by the surface of the touch electrode. Thus, display brightness of the display panel that uses said touch panel is increased, and the degree of brightness decline is reduced when the display panel that uses said touch panel is used outdoors.

  • Patent number: 11429008
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a tunable optical metasurface includes an array of elongated resonator rails arranged parallel to one another. Liquid crystal is positioned within an optical field region between adjacent resonator rails. A controller can selectively apply a voltage differential pattern to the elongated resonator rails to adjust a phase response thereof. According to various embodiments, a cross-backplane reflector is utilized that allows for mid-array routing or edge-array routing of electrical connections between the controller and the resonator rails. The cross-backplane reflector comprises a plurality of elongated optical reflectors extending parallel to one another and perpendicular to the array of resonator rails. An optically transmissive (e.g., transparent) dielectric may electrically separate the resonator rails from the optical reflectors. A pattern of vias formed therein facilitates electrical connections between the optical reflectors and the resonator rails.
