Abstract: Disclosed is a simplified manufacturing method for liquid crystal displays. A gate wire including a gate line, a gate pad and a gate electrode is formed on an insulating substrate. Next, a gate insulating layer covering the gate wire, a semiconductor layer, an ohmic contact layer, and a data conductive layer are sequentially deposited, and a photoresist pattern is formed on the data conductive layer. Following this step, the data conductive layer, using the photoresist pattern as an etch mask, is etched to form a data wire including a data line, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a data pad. Next, the photoresist pattern is reflowed to cover the portion between the source electrode and the drain electrode, and a portion of the ohmic contact layer adjacent to a periphery of the data wire. Subsequently, portions of the ohmic contact layer and the semiconductor layer, which are not covered by the photoresist pattern, are etched, and the photoresist pattern is removed. Next, a portion of the ohmic contact layer, which is not covered by the data wire, is etched to expose a portion of the semiconductor layer between the source electrode and the drain electrode that is a channel portion of a thin film transistor. Finally, a protection layer, a pixel electrode, a redundant gate pad and a redundant data pad are formed.

Abstract: A small,compact optical scanning system with small aperture size requirements, wide field-of-regard and minimal color dispersion characteristics. The inventive scanning system and method provides for optical beam steering over a broad spectral band and over a wide field-of-regard. The inventive system includes a novel device for receiving an input wavefront of electromagnetic energy along a first axis and refracting the wavefront as an output wavefront along a second axis. The device is a unique form of a liquid crystal array which can be electrically manipulated to change the effective refractive index of each pixel. The index of refraction of the device varies in response to an applied voltage. The voltage is supplied by a microprocessor and/or a servo-control system. By changing the index, the incident phase front can be steered at an angle with respect to the first axis and otherwise manipulated according to the index variant pattern induced in the array. Accordingly, the output beam is steered in response to the applied voltage.

Abstract: A wavelength selecting module includes a first collimator for collimating diverging light to generate a collimated light beam and a liquid crystal cell having a predetermined helical direction. The liquid crystal cell separates a light signal having a specific wavelength among a plurality of light signals of the collimated light beam into a left circularly polarized light and a right circularly polarized light, reflects one of the left and right circularly polarized light signals that has a same optical rotatory direction as the predetermined helical direction toward the first collimator in a first state. The liquid crystal cell passes the plurality of light signals of the collimated light beam in a second state. The liquid crystal cell changes between the first state and the second state in accordance with a change in a voltage applied thereto, thereby switching between selection and non-selection of light having the specific wavelength.
