    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a color filter (CF) and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed in the present disclosure. The CF comprises a transparent substrate, a black matrix, first CF units, second CF units and a conductive layer. The transparent substrate comprises an active area and a dummy area. The first CF units in the active area have a trapezoidal cross section, and the second CF units in the dummy area have an inverted trapezoidal cross section. The conductive layer covers the active area continuously but covers the dummy area discontinuously; and thus, the active area can perform normal electrical conduction functions while an insulating effect can be achieved in the dummy area. In this way, even if conductive particles are present in the dummy area during the assembling process of the CF and a TFT, the discontinuous conductive layer in the dummy area can still prevent occurrence of abnormal conditions that the CF and the TFT are at the same voltage level.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a color filter structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The color filter structure has a glass substrate, a black matrix layer, a color pixel layer, a plurality of spacers, a transparent conductive layer and a transparent planarized photo-resist layer. The present invention can simultaneously form the spacers by using the same color resist when forming the color pixel layer. Thus, the color filter structure of the present invention is relatively simple, and the manufacture cost thereof is relatively low, so as to save the manufacture cost of the color filter structure. In addition, the transparent planarized photo-resist layer can prevent the transparent conductive layer from generating short circuit problems during installation.

  • Patent number: 8210690
    Abstract: A projection system includes a display apparatus comprising a plurality of tunable Fabry-Perot filters, each of the filters being configured for shifting between a state in which the filter transmits radiation in a bandwidth in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum and a state in which the filter transmits radiation in a bandwidth outside the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. An illuminator provides light to the plurality of Fabry-Perot filters. A control system receives image data and controls the display apparatus to project an image onto an associated display surface. The control system includes a modulator which provides wavelength modulation signals to the plurality of Fabry-Perot filters to modulate a color of pixels in the image and causes selected ones of the Fabry-Perot filters to shift into the bandwidth outside the visible range to modulate the brightness of pixels in the image.

    Abstract: The display device (100) of this invention has pixels (P) arranged in columns and rows to form a matrix pattern. Each pixel (P) is defined by subpixels (R, G, B, Y) arranged in m columns and n rows (where n and m are integers and n and m?2) to form a matrix pattern and that include first, second, third and fourth subpixels (R, B, Y, G) representing first, second, third and fourth colors, respectively. In three arbitrary pixels (P) arranged in line in one of row and column directions, if the central one of the three is called a first pixel (P1) and the other two second and third pixels (P2, P3), the arrangement of the subpixels (R, G, B, Y) in the first pixel (P1) is different from that of the subpixels (R, G, B, Y) in the second and third pixels (P2, P3). The first subpixels (R) of the first and second pixels (P1, P2) are adjacent to each other, so are their second subpixels (B). The third subpixels (Y) of the first and third pixels (P1, P3) are adjacent to each other, so are their fourth subpixels (G).

  • Patent number: 8192579
    Abstract: After a gate line (11), a TFT (1), and a data line (30) are formed, a riblike protective insulation layer (32) which coats the data line is formed on a substrate (10) serving as the element substrate of an active matrix type color liquid crystal display device or an organic EL display device. A color filter layer (42) on a transfer film (40) is press-bonded on this substrate (10) with a roller (46) moving in the extensional direction (columnar direction) of the protecting insulation layer (32). The advancement of the transfer of a color filter in the columnar direction makes it possible to bring the substrate and the color filter in contact without gaps while expelling the gas out of a pixel space in the advancement direction. During the step of forming a color filter, the protecting insulation layer (32) protects the data line (30) from the treatment liquid etc. An organic light emitting element layer is arranged in the pixel space to form an organic EL display device.
