Patent number: 9823410Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light guiding plate comprises steps of forming a protrusion array composed of a plurality of protrusions (300) on a surface of a substrate (100); and forming reflective layers (301) on side facets of the protrusions (300) respectively, in such a way that, the farther away from a side of the substrate (100) the protrusion (300) with the reflective layer is, the greater the reflectivity of the reflective layer (301) is. The light emitted from the light guiding plate made by the method is relatively uniform, and the heating issue is also avoided.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2013Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd.Inventors: Heecheol Kim, Yan Wei, Chao Xu, Chunfang Zhang

Patent number: 9817264Abstract: The invention discloses a QD CF substrate and manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method uses a patterned photo-resist layer as a masking layer to perform selective quenching on QD layer with a quencher to obtain selectively quenched QD layer, which simplifies QD CF substrate manufacturing process and reduces cost. The QD CF substrate does not use blue QD material in QD layer, but uses blue backlight and organic transparent photo-resist layer to improve light utilization efficiency and reduce material cost. The QD layer is a selectively quenched QD layer, and the portion of the QD layer located above the organic transparent photo-resist layer is quenched by the quencher, and will not emit light when excited by backlight. As such, the invention achieves using the QD material to improve color gamut and brightness, avoid color impurity at blue sub-pixels caused by light mixture, and the manufacturing method is simple.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: SHENZHEN CHINA STAR OPTOELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventor: Dongze Li

Patent number: 9804322Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a housing channel and a heat sink assembly coupled to the housing channel. The heat sink assembly includes a heat sink base and a heat sink clamp that are coupled together via a fastener to retain a waveguide to the lighting fixture. In particular, the fastener is disposed at an acute angle relative to the respective waveguide. Further, the lighting fixture includes one or more light sources coupled to the heat sink base and oriented such that light emitted by the one or more light sources enters an edge of the waveguide. Furthermore, the lighting fixture includes an end cap that covers an open lateral end of the housing channel. Further, the end cap operates as an alignment bracket to couple the lighting fixture to a second lighting fixture adjacent the open lateral end of the housing channel of the lighting fixture.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2015Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: James Blessitt, Christopher Ladewig
