Methods and devices for manipulating optical signals. In one example, a LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) device includes a surface bearing an anti-reflection structure. The anti-reflection structure includes i) a physical surface having a topography with features having lateral dimensions of less than 2000 nm and having an average refraction index which decreases with distance away from the surface; and ii) a configuration of the topography, averaged over lateral dimensions of greater than 2000 nm, varies with lateral position on the surface.
Abstract:
Detection electrode wirings formed by an ITO film have a high resistance and the detection capability thereof is degraded with the increase of the size and/or resolution. A manufacturing method of a display device includes: (a) arranging liquid crystal between an array substrate and a counter substrate; (b) forming a metal layer and a low-reflection layer on the counter substrate after the step (a); (c) applying an overcoat film onto the metal layer and the low-reflection layer; and (d) curing the overcoat film to form a protection layer. The step (d) cures the overcoat film with light and heat.
Abstract:
A lens array substrate includes a substrate with a concave portion provided in a first face thereof, and a lens layer having a substantially flat surface provided to cover the first face and fill the concave portion. The lens layer includes a first layer and a second layer which are sequentially laminated from a substrate side by reflecting the shape of the concave portion therein. A refractive index of the first layer is different from a refractive index of the second layer. The second layer, the first layer, and the second layer are sequentially exposed to the surface of the lens layer in this order in a first direction in a plan view. The second layer, the first layer, the substrate, the first layer, and the second layer are sequentially exposed to the surface of the lens layer in this order in a second direction that intersects the first direction.
Abstract:
In order to improve the scratch resistance of an antireflective article having a moth-eye structure, an antireflective article is provided that has fine protrusions densely arranged therein, and has the interval between adjacent fine protrusions being no more than the shortest wavelength in the wavelength band for antireflection. At least some of the fine protrusions are fine protrusions having a plurality of apexes.

An optical element has a base material having a surface and a plurality of structures which are arranged on the surface of the base material at a fine pitch equal to or shorter than the wavelength of visible light and which each includes a convex or concave portion. The elastic modulus of the material forming the structures is 1 MPa or more and 1200 MPa or less, and the surface on which the structures are formed are hydrophilic.
Abstract:
A multi-display system (e.g., a display including multiple display panels) includes at least first and second displays (e.g., display panels or display layers) arranged substantially parallel to each other in order to display three-dimensional (3D) features to a viewer(s). An optical element(s) such as at least a refractive beam mapper (RBM) is utilized in order to reduce moire interference.

A multi-display system (e.g., a display including multiple display panels) includes at least first and second displays (e.g., display panels or display layers) arranged substantially parallel to each other in order to display three-dimensional (3D) features to a viewer(s). The first and second displays have different color filter patterns, respectively, as viewed from a point of view of a viewer of the display device, in order to reduce moiré interference.
Abstract:
In order to improve the scratch resistance of an antireflective article having a moth-eye structure, an antireflective article is provided that has fine protrusions densely arranged therein, has the interval between adjacent fine protrusions being no more than the shortest wavelength for an electromagnetic wavelength band for antireflection, and wherein: the fine protrusions are arranged in a non-lattice shape in the planar view; and mesh division lines formed upon the valley sections between each adjacent fine protrusions and surrounding each fine protrusion match Voronoi tessellation having the center of gravity of the fine protrusions, in the planar view as the generating point therefor, in at least one area of the antireflective article.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a display apparatus including a liquid crystal panel in which a liquid crystal material is filled between a display substrate and a rear substrate. A light reflection prevention pattern to suppress reflection of light incident from the rear side is formed at a rear surface of a display substrate, such that the quantity of light passing through the display substrate and transferred to the front of the display apparatus increases, thus improving visibility of the display apparatus.
