摘要： This invention is related to an active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) having a high pixel aperture ratio. The display has an increased pixel aperture ratio because the pixel electrodes are formed over the insulating layer so as to overlap portions of the array address lines. Both the manufacturability and capacitive cross-talk of the TFT-based device are improved due to the use of a photo-imageable insulating layer between the pixel electrodes and the address lines.

摘要： A normally white twisted nematic liquid crystal display is disclosed having a pair of retardation films disposed between the liquid crystal layer and an adjacent polarizer, both retardation films being on one side of the liquid crystal layer. Both retardation films, if uniaxial, have retardation values of from about 100-200 nm. Optionally, biaxial retarders (n.sub.X >n.sub.Y >n.sub.Z) may be used, such biaxial retarders having retardation values from about .DELTA..sub.ZX =-100 to -200 nm, and .DELTA..sub.ZY =-10 to -100 nm. Accordingly, inversion is reduced and contrast rations are improved at large viewing angles.

摘要： A liquid crystal display and corresponding method are provided for reducing display image reflections off of a reflection point on an external medium (e.g. cockpit canopy or automotive windshield). A retarder is provided on the front side of the display so that the polarization direction of the display image is substantially parallel to the plane of incidence when the image reaches the reflection point. Additionally, the angle of incidence .THETA..sub.i is substantially matched to the Brewster angle .THETA..sub.P in order to maximize the reduction of reflection at the reflection point. The retarder has a retardation value of from about 220-320 nm according to certain embodiments, and is a 1/2.lambda. retarder according to preferred embodiments.

摘要： Improved backlighting for a liquid crystal display is provided by an integral diffusing/collimating lens fabricated from a translucent optical media in which glass beads are suspended. The optical media is configured in substantially the same shape as the array of lamps which illuminate the backlit display and serves as both a lens and a diffuser. The lens effect is obtained by positioning the optical media so that the focal length thereof is at the lamp location. In this manner, the optical media behaves as a collimating lens. The optical effect simultaneously occurs at the air-to-material interface. Of course, the translucent material from which the media is fabricated diffuses light so as to uniformly distribute light emanating from said lamps in all directions.

摘要： This invention is related to a radiation imager (e.g. x-ray imager) and method of making same. An insulating material having a low dielectric constant is provided in areas of overlap between collector electrodes and underlying TFTs, diodes, and/or address lines in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the imager. The TFT array and corresponding imager are made in certain embodiments by coating the address lines and TFTs with a photo-imageable insulating layer which acts as a negative resist, exposing portions of the insulating layer with UV light, removing non-exposed areas of the insulating layer so as to form contact vias, and depositing storage capacitor collecting electrodes over the insulating layer so that the collecting electrodes contact TFT source electrodes through the contact vias. The resulting imager has an improved signal-to-noise ratio due to the low dielectric constant of the insulating layer.

摘要： This invention is related to a radiation imager (e.g. X-ray imager) including a thin film transistor (TFT) array, and method of making same. A photo-imageable insulating material having a low dielectric constant is provided in areas of overlap between electrodes and underlying TFTs, diodes, and/or address lines in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the imager. The photo-imageable insulating layer acts as a negative resist in certain embodiments, so that vias are formed therein by exposing portions of the insulating layer with UV light which are to remain on the substrate, removing non-exposed areas of the insulating layer so as to form the vias or apertures in the insulating layer. In order to prevent non-uniformities from inadvertently being imaged into the photo-imageable insulating layer, an ultraviolet (UV) blocking/absorbing layer is provided. The UV blocking layer may be formed on the opposite side of the substrate from the TFTs, or alternatively may be formed as part of the gate insulating layer.

摘要： A backlit transmissive liquid crystal display including non-linear resistive thin film diodes (TFDs). Select address lines on the active substrate provide both conventional address line functionality, as well as acting as one of the electrodes for each thin film diode. Two such diodes are provided in each pixel in certain embodiments. Still further, black matrix material is provided between the aforesaid address line material and the substrate so as to form rows of stacks on the active substrate. The thin film diode semi-insulating material, the address line material, and the black matrix material are patterned together in a single step to form elongated rows (or columns) on the active substrate. In such a manner, the display has reduced ambient light reflections, and reduce photosensitivity. Furthermore, because the pixel electrode, which also functions as the top TFD electrode in each pixel, overlaps both the select lines and portions of the color filter, a high pixel aperture ratio of at least about 70% is provided. The TFDs may be MIM diodes in certain embodiments.

摘要： A high aperture active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) includes pixel electrodes in respective pixels which overlap adjacent address lines. The color filters are formed on the active substrate in a manner such that the filters also overlap the address lines and function as an insulating layer between the pixel electrodes and address lines in the areas of overlap. Accordingly, line-pixel capacitances are reduced and the resulting AMLCD is easier to manufacture. The total number of process step in manufacturing is reduced, and plate-to-plate (active to passive plate) alignment is much easier and less important.

摘要： A multi-domain liquid crystal display includes multiple liquid crystal alignment domains per pixel. In certain embodiments, only a single mechanical buffing step is required per substrate to provide the multiple domains per pixel. A continuous base underlying mechanically buffed alignment layer is provided, and a reactive alignment layer is provided thereon. The reactive alignment layer is doped so as to cause twist of molecules therein. The reactive layer may be photo-polymerizable and patterned so as to form an array of alignment portions and expose/uncover a corresponding array of areas of the underlying buffed alignment layer. Thus, liquid crystal molecules contacting the patterned reactive alignment portions are aligned in one direction while liquid crystal molecules contacting the exposed mechanically buffed polyimide layer are aligned in another direction. Multiple domains are thus provided, with only a single mechanical buffing step being necessary.
