Patent number: 6850296Abstract: A composite liquid crystal panel includes a plurality of liquid crystal panels and a picture display surface. It cuts the border of each liquid crystal panel to a width of only one pixel, then bonding the panels together, installing the picture display surface on the liquid crystal panel, and distributing a portion of light from the normal pixels adjoining the border to the pixels corresponding to the border to resolve the gap problem. Light distribution is accomplished by using a pair of mirrors and a pair of reflecting surfaces to reflect the light of the pixels, so that light may be reflected above the pixels on the border and generate light. Then the pixels on the border and the pixels adjoining the border are redefined to form an image dot. Finally, through redistributing the light, the seams on the border may be completely eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: Delta Electronics, Inc.Inventors: He-Chiang Liu, Hsiao-Yi Li, Hung-Lung Cheng

Patent number: 6842210Abstract: A liquid crystal display device which has a liquid crystal composition between a first substrate and a flexible second substrate. The liquid crystal composition is filled between the substrates by being dispensed on the first substrate and spread uniformly while the second substrate is being pressed against the first substrate by a roller, and the liquid crystal composition is sealed by sealing resin provided on the sides of the substrates. The gap between the substrates is maintained by spherical spacers and/or a resin structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2003Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyofumi Hashimoto, Masakazu Okada, Kenji Nishiguchi, Tatsuo Taniguchi

Patent number: 6819373Abstract: A multi-layered structure and method of formation. A page is generated by stacking N substructures (N≧2) in an ordered sequence. A first substructure of each pair of adjacent substructures comprises liquid crystal polymer (LCP) dielectric material to be bonded with a second substructure of a pair of the adjacent substructure. The page is subjected to a temperature less than the lowest nematic-to-isotropic transition temperature of the LCP dielectric materials within the page. The dwell time and elevated pressure are sufficient to cause all LCP dielectric material within the page to plastically deform and laminate each pair of adjacent substructures without any extrinsic adhesive layer disposed between the first and second substructures of each pair of adjacent substructures.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald S. Farquhar, Mark D. Poliks

Publication number: 20040150766Abstract: An in-line system for fabricating a liquid crystal display-includes a sealer coating unit for coating a sealer onto a first substrate with a plurality of liquid crystal display cell regions, a liquid crystal injection unit for dropping a liquid crystal onto the first substrate coated with the sealer, and an assembly unit for assembling the first substrate with the second substrate. A sealer hardening unit hardens the sealer interposed between the first and the second substrate to thereby assemble the first and the second substrate with each other. A substrate cutting unit cuts the first and the second substrates along cutting lines through illuminating a laser beam along the cutting lines such that the first and the second substrates are severed into the liquid crystal display cell regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2004Publication date: August 5, 2004Inventors: Dae-Ho Choo, Sang-Jun Lee, Yong-Joon Kwon

Patent number: RE39910Abstract: A liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of liquid crystal panels placed on a single plane of a large substrate, and a black matrix made of a photo-absorbing film that shows black when having absorbed light. Two polarizing plates are respectively placed to cover the front and rear surface of a set of liquid crystal panels almost entirely in such a manner that their polarizing axes intersect at right angles. The resulting multi-screen liquid crystal display consumes less power, retains excellent display quality, and makes the joints between the liquid crystal panels difficult to see.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2000Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshihiro Izumi, Sayuri Fujiwara, Tokihiko Shinomiya
