Abstract:
An LED backlight method and apparatus for display systems provides a plurality of light emitting diodes having different white point colors. At least two of the light emitting diodes having different white point colors are selected to produce a light of a predetermined white point color when the light outputs of the selected light emitting diodes are mixed. The selected light emitting diodes are mounted on a display panel in a predetermined order at spatially distributed positions for mixing their light outputs to produce the light of the predetermined white point color to illuminate the display panel with the light of the predetermined white point color.
Abstract:
An electronic device may have a display such as a liquid crystal display. The display may have multiple layers of material such as a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. An opaque masking layer may be formed on a display layer such as the color filter layer. In an inactive portion of the display, the opaque masking layer may form a rectangular ring that serves as a border region surrounding a rectangular active portion of the display. In the active portion of the display, the opaque masking layer may be patterned to from an opaque matrix that separates color filter elements in an array of color filter elements. The opaque masking layer and color filter elements may be formed from polymers such as photoresist. The opaque masking layer may include a black pigment such as carbon black. Color filter elements and opaque masking material may include multiple sublayers.
Abstract:
A method of laminating a surface of a flexible material (103) to a surface of a rigid, curved material (101). The method includes pressing an area of the surface (107) of the flexible material into the surface (105) of the rigid, curved material with a holder to create a contact area while the flexible material is conformed to the holder, which has a curvature greater than a curvature of the rigid, curved material surface; and changing the contact area between the surface of the flexible material and the surface of the rigid, curved material while maintaining pressure on the contact area until the surface of the flexible material and the surface of the rigid curved material are laminated.

Abstract:
A display system (800) provides a first semiconductor light source (530) that is electrically connected in a first plane (529). A second semiconductor light source (534) is electrically connected in a second plane (533) separate from the first plane (529). A third semiconductor light source (532) is electrically connected in the first plane (529) at least a distance (312) away from the first semiconductor light source (530) equal to the width of the second semiconductor light source (534). The first plane (529) and the second plane (533) are merged into a combined plane (535) by positioning the electrically connected second semiconductor light source (534) between the electrically connected first semiconductor light source (530) and the electrically connected third semiconductor light source (532).
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 (102) configured to provide a visual output, such as a liquid crystal display. The electronic display includes an optical shutter and a first polarizer (214) operably connected to the optical shutter. The first polarizer includes an optical filter layer (136; 336), a protective layer (134, 138; 334, 338), and a moisture barrier (210; 310) positioned on a first surface of either the optical filter or the protective layer. The moisture barrier substantially prevents water molecules from being transmitted therethrough.
