Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for repairing light point defects in which light points can be converted to black spots through a simple process without affecting surrounding pixels, and the repaired pixels can be maintained without their returning to light points even with the passage of time. The present invention provides a method for repairing light point defect pixels of a liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal panel which comprises a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, and a pair of alignment films each of which is provided between the substrate and the liquid crystal layer restraining the orientation of the liquid crystals of the liquid crystal layer. The defect repair method includes the step of irradiating laser light onto a region of the alignment film corresponding to the light point defect pixels to locally reduce or eliminate the orientation restraining force of the alignment film, wherein the light point defect pixels are repaired by reducing the intensity of the light transmitted through the region where the orientation restraining force is reduced or eliminated when the liquid crystal is illuminated.

A method of manufacturing a tiled display is disclosed comprising the steps of: a) selecting a plurality of flat-panel displays, each flat-panel display having a display area comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in an array and having at least one defective pixel; and b) forming a tiled display by locating one or more faceplates in alignment with the plurality of flat-panel displays, the one or more faceplates having a plurality of lightpipes in an array, the lightpipes having input and output end faces for transmitting light from the display areas of the flat-panel displays to a display surface of the tiled display, wherein the input end face of each of the lightpipes has an area larger than the area of one pixel of the selected flat-panel displays, and wherein each lightpipe transmits light from more than one pixel from the display area of the flat-panel displays to the display surface of the tiled display. Also described are tiled display made according to the method.
Abstract:
A method of repairing white spots on a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel and a LCD pane thereof are provided. The method includes the steps of detecting any white spot on the liquid crystal display after the manufacturing process and repairing the white spot by coating a repairing spot on the surface of the panel above the white spot. Furthermore, the repairing spot may have a micro-lens structure. Therefore, the repairing spot can absorb, diverge or scatter the light from the white spot. Alternatively, the repairing spot can also change the optical pathway or the polarity or the polarity distribution of the light from the white spot so that an analyzer or a polarizer can block the light from the white spot to produce a dark spot.
