Abstract:
A technique related to color filters to be arranged on the light-receiving surface of a color liquid crystal display device, color video camera, and the like. The color filter consists of a substrate (10) and a colored filter layer (12) formed thereon. The colored filter layer (12) comprises, for example, three groups of filter picture elements (14R, 14G, 14B) having spectral characteristics respectively corresponding to red, green and blue. Each group of filter picture elements are made of polyimide resin and dye contained therein. Further, each group of the filter picture elements (R, G, B) are arranged in direct contact with one surface of the substrate (10) without using any intermediate protecting film. The first group of filter picture elements patterned on one surface of one surface of the substrate (10) are subjected to heat treatment at a high temperature of about 250oC, for example, to increase their resistance against the solvent. Then, a second coating layer for patterning the second group of filter picture elements is directly formed without using any intermediate protecting film.
Abstract:
A method by which a color filter can be manufactured smoothly, comprising a step in which a substrate (10) is treated with active species which are produced by discharge in a gas atmosphere containing oxygen under the atmospheric pressure and a step in which the ink filling recesses (29) which are formed in a master (13) in a required arrangement are filled with ink of a predetermined color to form a colored pattern layer (14), the substrate (10) is stuck to the master (13) on which the colored pattern layer (14) is formed with a resin layer (15) therebetween, and thereafter the colored pattern layer (14), the resin layer (15) and the substrate (10) are integrally separated from the master (13).
Abstract:
A preferred metallodielectric photonic crystal structure includes a three-dimensionally periodic lattice structure of high-electrical-conductivity metallic elements arranged to produce a photonic band gap which defines a range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation which are prevented from propagating through the photonic crystal structure. The metallic elements are unconnected and arranged in a background of dielectric material. In one embodiment, the dielectric material is made of a plurality of sheets of dielectric with cylindrical holes drilled through the sheets in a two-dimensionally periodic pattern. The high-conductivity metallic elements, such as metallic spheres, are located in the cylindrical holes. The dielectric sheets are stacked so as to arrange the metallic elements in a three-dimensionally periodic crystal lattice structure such as a face-centered cubic lattice structure. The structure can also be fabricated using integrated circuit microfabrication techniques. Alternating layers of dielectric support material and metallic elements are formed in patterns to create the desired three-dimensional periodic lattice structure. Again, the metallic elements do not contact each other. The advantage of the microfabricated structure is that it can be easily scaled down in size to produce photonic stop bands at infrared or, perhaps, visible wavelengths.
Abstract:
A tunable optical wavelength selective filter comprises a dynamic holographic diffraction element (3) in combination with a fixed diffraction grating or hologram (2). The dynamic diffraction element (3) is preferably implemented as an electronically controlled image displayed on a pixelated spatial light modulator and in particular a spatial light modulating using opto-electronic integrated circuits fabricated using silicon VLSI technology and integrated with ferro-electric liquid crystals. Amongst other uses, the filter can be implemented to form a digitally tunable laser.
Abstract:
A substrate is coated with a 0.6- mu m-thick film of a photosensitive coloring resin, which exhibits a transmittance less than 5 % at the maximum absorption wavelength of the dye when it is immersed in a 4 % aqueous solution of a dye of more than 1,000 molecular weight for 15 minutes at room temperature or in a 0.2 % aqueous solution of a dye of more than 1,000 molecular weight for 10minutes at 60 DEG C. The resin film is hardened by exposure to energy rays, and then, a desired color pattern is formed on the film by applying a jet of aqueous dye, so that a color filter is provided.
Abstract:
A variable colour filter allows a large range of colours to be generated in a simple manner. The operation of the filter results from the interaction of a plurality of polarising components. The transmission wavelength of at least one of the components is strongly dependent from the direction of polarisation.
Abstract:
A color filter (100) for a liquid crystal display, including an optically transparent substrate (10), a transparent conductive layer (12) formed on the substrate (10), and a colored layer (14) which is formed on the layer (12) and in which red, green, and blue picture elements are arranged in a prescribed pattern. The colored layer (14) contains at least pigments as coloring agents and transparent conductive particles having hydrophobic surface and the particles are contained in the layer (14) at a ratio of 5-50 vol.%. In addition, it is desirable that the colored layer (14) has a specific resistance of 10 to 10 ( OMEGA .cm). A hydrophobic compound is bonded to the surfaces of the transparent conductive particles by coupling or graft polymerization. The color filter (100) is manufactured by a process comprising, for example, the following steps (a) to (c): (a) the step of forming the transparent conductive layer having a prescribed pattern on a transparent substrate, (b) the step of preparing a micelle colloid dispersion by dispersing the pigments and the transparent conductive particles having hydrophobic surfaces in a medium containing a surface active agent having redox reactivity and an electrolyte, and (c) the step of depositing the colored layer composed of the pigments and the transparent conductive particles on the transparent conductive layer by performing electrolysis by using the transparent conductive layer as the anode.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an electronic device having a resin coating thereon excellent in flatness by the application of a relatively low pressure, and an apparatus therefor. Though the resin coating is pressed through a resin film, the film is so thin that the resin coating comes to be substantially directly pressed and heated on a heating roll. Since the resin coating is heated to around the softening point and crushed by the relatively low pressure, the heat efficiency of the pressing is high, speeding up the processing and improving the mass productivity. Since the resin coating is smoothed on the roll, with the film positioned at an oblique angle to the surface of the resin coating, and thereafter the film is pulled obliquely and peeled off the resin coating momentarily, it is possible to obtain a smooth resin coating with high accuracy without leaving any bubble, unevenness caused thereby, wrinkle or streak thereon.
Abstract:
A color filter is created simply and uniformly using electrodeposition. A specified positive photosensitive resin layer is formed on a transparent electrode which is formed on a transparent base. Without removing this resin layer, a process of exposure, development and electrodeposition of desired-color layer of a necessary pattern is repeated.
Abstract:
The filter production method comprises forming a hologram by irradiating a photosensitive material and a mask spaced apart from each other at a given distance with the rays of light from opposite sides respectively, and reproducing the image of this hologram in the photosensitive material. This method does not require contact between the mask and the photosensitive material, prevents the image from being out of focus and can produce a precision color filter. A hologram applicable as the color filter is duplicated by disposing a master hologram on which R, G and B stripes are recorded and a photosensitive material in such a manner as to oppose each other and applying three-colored mixed rays of light from the photosensitive material side. This method can duplicate the reproduction image on the photosensitive material in one exposure and can eliminate the necessity for a photolithographic process, precise registering and the like. A photosensitive member provided with a filter is produced by laminating a first laminate member, which is formed by laminating sequentially a filter layer and an adhesive layer on a support, and a second laminate member formed by laminating a photoconductive layer and a transparent electrode layer on a carrier film through a peeling layer, in such a manner as to oppose each other, and then peeling off the carrier film. This method can avoid discoloration, fading, etc., of the filter layer due to heating, and can improve the production efficiency.
