Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and systems for mitigating defects in optical devices such as electrochromic devices. One method mitigates a pinhole defect in an electrochromic device by identifying the site of the pinhole defect and obscuring the pinhole to make it less visually discernible. In some cases, the pinhole defect may be the result of mitigating a short-related defect.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device, a liquid crystal display, a manufacturing method and a darkening process. The liquid crystal display includes a lower substrate provided with a lower common electrode, a scanning line, a data line, a pixel electrode and a TFT. A gate electrode of the TFT is connected with the scanning line. A source electrode of the TFT is connected with a data line. A drain electrode of the TFT is connected with the pixel electrode. Wherein, the lower common electrode has an extension portion. A connection line of the data line and the source electrode of the TFT is spaced apart from and overlapped with the extension portion. When executing a darkening process, the connection line is disconnected from the data line, and connecting the extension portion and the connection line.
Abstract:
Electrochromic devices and methods may employ the addition of a defect-mitigating insulating layer which prevents electronically conducting layers and/or electrochromically active layers from contacting layers of the opposite polarity and creating a short circuit in regions where defects form. In some embodiments, an encapsulating layer is provided to encapsulate particles and prevent them from ejecting from the device stack and risking a short circuit when subsequent layers are deposited. The insulating layer may have an electronic resistivity of between about 1 and 108 Ohm-cm. In some embodiments, the insulating layer contains one or more of the following metal oxides: aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, silicon aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, tungsten oxide, nickel tungsten oxide, and oxidized indium tin oxide. Carbides, nitrides, oxynitrides, and oxycarbides may also be used.

Abstract:
Provided is a display apparatus including a plurality of unit pixels, each including a plurality of sub-pixels; a first line branched in a first direction from a common line as many as the number of sub-pixels in each of the unit pixels so as to connect sub-pixels emitting light of the same color in neighboring unit pixels to each other; a second line extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction and connected to the sub-pixels; and a third line adjacent to the second line, extending in the second direction, and including a hole formed on a portion where the first line and the third line cross each other, and connected to the sub-pixels.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device of the present invention is arranged such that a retardation of a liquid crystal layer which obtained while no voltage is applied falls within ±(a value which is one-tenth of a main wavelength) of a value obtained by adding natural number times the main wavelength to a total retardation of at least one optical compensation film. This allows suppression of a transmittance during no voltage application.

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel in which the bright point defect is effectively corrected is provided. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel 11 including a pair of substrates 40 and 30, and a liquid crystal layer 50 provided between the pair of the substrates 40 and 30 includes detecting a bright point defect in the liquid crystal panel 11; forming a first light blocking portion BL1 in one of the substrates 40 and 30 and in a part of an area that surrounds the bright point defect with a plan view; forming a recess in a portion of one of the substrates 40, 30 that overlaps the bright point defect and on a surface of the one of the substrates 40 and 30 that is opposite from a surface facing the liquid crystal layer; and forming a second light blocking portion BL2 in the recess.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel and a lighting device. The liquid crystal panel has a liquid crystal layer provided between a pair of glass substrates. The lighting device supplies illumination light to the liquid crystal panel. At least one of the glass substrates has a photonic crystal formed in a position so that it stops light from reaching a luminance point defect occurrence portion in the liquid crystal layer that is a cause of a luminance point defect. The photonic crystal absorbs light having a color displayable in the luminance point defect occurrence portion.

The present invention provides a method and system for repairing flat panel display, which repairing hot pixels of the flat panel display by femtosecond laser. The flat panel display comprises a LCD module and a color filter disposed on the top of the LCD module, wherein the surface of the color filter corresponding to the LCD module further has a color photoresist layer. The femtosecond laser is projected onto the color photoresist layer corresponding to the hot pixels such that a phenomenon of nonlinear multiple photons absorption can be occurred to change property of the color photoresist layer so as to transform the hot pixels into dead pixels.
