Published: 21 November 2018 Abstract: Pinhole‐shaped light‐emitting diode (LED) arrays with dimension ranging from 100 μm down to 5 μm have been developed as point illumination sources. The proposed microLED arrays, which are based on gallium nitride (GaN) technology and emitting in the blue spectral region (λ = 465 nm), are integrated into a compact lensless holographic microscope for a non‐invasive, label‐free cell sensing and imaging. From the experimental results using single pinhole LEDs having a diameter of 90 μm, the reconstructed images display better resolution and enhanced image quality compared to those captured using a commercial surface‐mount device (SMD)‐based LED.

  • UV Cured Flexible Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Displays
    UV Cured Flexible Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Displays Tod Schneider, Erica Montbach, Don Davis, Sean Franklin, Diaz McDaniel, Mark Lightfoot, Nithya Venkataraman, Forrest Nicholson, Asad Khan, and J. William Doane Kent Displays, Inc. Kent, OH, USA Abstract Flexible Cholesteric liquid crystal displays have been rapidly maturing into a strong contender in the flexible display market. Encapsulation of the Cholesteric liquid crystal permits the use of flexible plastic substrates and roll-to-roll production. Recent advances include ultra-thin displays, laser-cut segmented displays of variable geometry, and smart card applications. Exciting technologies such as UV curing, and simultaneous laser-edge sealing/singulation enable high volume production, excellent quality control and non-traditional display geometries and formats. Keywords: UV Cure, Flexible Displays, Roll-to-Roll, Plastic Substrates, Cholesteric Liquid Crystals, Bistable Introduction Nearly every commercial liquid crystal display (LCD) manufactured and sold today is made from a sandwich of liquid crystal (LC) between two precisely spaced glass substrates coated with a transparent conductor. A few challenges remain for LCDs in the consumer market; namely, flexibility, durability, weight and power consumption. The first three issues can be addressed by using thin plastic substrates whereas the last issue can be solved using a bistable display, i.e. a display that is stable (with no power applied) in two states such as reflective or transmissive. Unfortunately, a problem arises when sandwiching liquid crystal between two flexible substrates: the fluid will flow! When the cell is flexed or pressed upon, the gap between the substrates becomes smaller displacing the LC and inducing flow. Cholesteric liquid crystal displays (ChLCDs) are bistable LCDs that have low power consumption and exhibit high reflectance under ambient lighting1.

  • Light Engines for XR Smartglasses by Jonathan Waldern, Ph.D
    August 28, 2020 Light Engines for XR Smartglasses By Jonathan Waldern, Ph.D. The near-term obstacle to meeting an elegant form factor for Extended Reality1 (XR) glasses is the size of the light engine2 that projects an image into the waveguide, providing a daylight-bright, wide field-of-view mobile display For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) developing XR smartglasses that employ diffractive wave- guide lenses, there are several light engine architectures contending for the throne. Highly transmissive daylight-bright glasses demanded by early adopting customers translate to a level of display efficiency, 2k-by-2k and up resolution plus high contrast, simply do not exist today in the required less than ~2cc (cubic centimeter) package size. This thought piece examines both Laser and LED contenders. It becomes clear that even if MicroLED (µLED) solutions do actually emerge as forecast in the next five years, fundamentally, diffractive wave- guides are not ideally paired to broadband LED illumination and so only laser based light engines, are the realistic option over the next 5+ years. Bottom Line Up Front • µLED, a new emissive panel technology causing considerable excitement in the XR community, does dispense with some bulky refractive illumination optics and beam splitters, but still re- quires a bulky projection lens. Yet an even greater fundamental problem of µLEDs is that while bright compared with OLED, the technology falls short of the maximum & focused brightness needed for diffractive and holographic waveguides due to the fundamental inefficiencies of LED divergence. • A laser diode (LD) based light engine has a pencil like beam of light which permits higher effi- ciency at a higher F#.

  • Various Display Technologiess
    VARIOUS DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIESS Mr. Virat C. Gandhi1 1Computer Department, C. U. Shah Technical Institute of Diploma Studies Abstract—A lot has been invented from the past till now in regards with the display technologies. It gives an immense life to electronic device when good display technology are being used. Now a days displays are coming in various sizes for different portable devices like smart phones, tablets, smart watch, televisions, laptops etc. People are expecting better display no matter what device they use. In this paper I have given an overview of some of the past technologies to the technologies till now. Flat-panel displays use Liquid-crystal display (LCD) technology to make them much lighter and thinner when compared with a traditional monitor. A liquid crystal display consists of an array of tiny segments (called pixels) that can be manipulated to present information. Plasma panels, also called gas discharge displays, are constructed by filling the region between two glass plates with a mixture of gases that usually include neon. In LED, A matrix of diodes is arranged to form the pixel positions in the display, and picture definition is stored in refresh buffer. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology relies on the organic materials. Keywords— Display Technology; LCD; LED; Flexible display; Curved display; I. INTRODUCTION In today’s smart world, people are carrying smart devices all over the places they visit. Wherever people are they are surrounded or accompanied by display devices, such as smart phones, tablets, notebooks and advertising screens. Different devices uses different display technologies to enrich devices facilities.

  • Flexible Display Patent Landscape and Implications from the America Invents Act
    Flexible Display Patent Landscape and Implications From the America Invents Act Donald J. Featherstone,* Raymond J. Werner,** Christian A. Camarce,*** and Susan E. Cullen**** Abstract Developments in flexible display technology are expected to create significant new market opportunities for consumer electronic and commercial products. The potential economic impact of these new products is evidenced by the rapid growth around the world in patent application filings directed to flexible display technology areas. At the same time, changes to U.S. patent law, practice, and strategies have been triggered by the enactment of the Smith-Leahy America Invents Act. This article describes the patent landscape for flexible displays and ways in which newly enacted changes in patent law can facilitate the development of flexible display patent portfolios. I. Overview of the Flexible Patent Display Landscape. a. What Are Flexible Displays? Flexible displays are displays that can be bent, rolled, folded and/or twisted in many different configurations. As early as the 1970s, flexible display technology was used in e-paper displays, which were used to mimic the pliant properties of paper but with the capacity to display digital images.1 Today, largely led by Asian companies, research and development has moved past early e- paper display technology and has rapidly evolved into new materials, manufacturing methods, control means and integration schemes. Today’s applications of flexible displays are predominately in consumer electronic products such as mobile devices, TV screens, and similar video and multimedia products. * Donald J. Featherstone is a Director at Washington DC-based intellectual property specialty law firm Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox P.L.L.C.

Considering the typified value obtained from the manufacturer’s specifications, four technologies—Liquid Crystal Displays, electronic paper, Organic Light-Emitting Display and Electroluminescent Displays—were selected in a first iteration. For each of them, several features, including size and brightness, were assessed in order to ascertain possible proportional relationships with the rate of consumption. To normalize the comparison between different display types, relative units such as the surface power density and the display frontal intensity efficiency were proposed.
