Abstract:
One embodiment may take the form of a UV mask for use while curing sealant on LCD displays. The UV mask includes a mother glass and a UV mask layer on the mother glass. A UV absorption film is located adjacent the UV mask layer and an anti-reflection (AR) film is located adjacent the UV absorption film.
Abstract:
An electronic display for providing a visual or video output for an electronic device. The electronic device includes a transistor layer configured to activate a first pixel row and a second pixel row. For each pixel in the first pixel row and the second pixel row, the transistor layer includes a switch transistor, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode. The electronic device further includes a pixel controller for selectively activating each pixel. The pixel controller includes a first gate line, a first drive line, and a second drive line. During operation, the first gate line provides a charge to the pixel electrode for a first pixel in the first pixel row and for a second pixel in the second pixel row, and the first drive line activates the switch transistor for the first pixel, and the second drive line activates the switch transistor for the second pixel.
Abstract:
A display which comprises a liquid crystal layer (1108) between two glass substrates (1002,1102) and a first set of column spacers (1102,1104,1506,1510) each of which is disposed on top of a protrusion on a TFT substrate (1002,1502). The protrusion my be constituted by a pixel TFT (907) or a metal layer (1518,1608). A second set of column spacers (1204,1106,1512), which maintain a gap between each column spacer of the second set and the TFT subsstrate, may be disposed throughout the display, so that liquid crystal has room to spread out during the manufacturing process and protects the display against deformation from external forces.
Abstract:
A display that contains a column spacer arrangement which takes advantage of a protrusion on a TFT substrate is provided. One set of column spacers is disposed on top of the protrusion, while a second set of column spacers of substantially the same height as the first set of column spacers are disposed throughout the display. In this way, the display is adequately protected against deformation from external forces while at the same maintaining enough room to allow for a liquid crystal to spread out during the manufacturing process.
