Abstract:
A diffusion plate (20) includes a substrate (26) and a diffusion layer (22) disposed at a surface of the substrate. The substrate defines a plurality of through holes (28). A portion of light beams from an associated light source is reflected and refracted at walls of the substrate surrounding the through holes, and subsequently is diffused by the diffusion layer to display images. Another portion of the light beams propagates directly to the diffusion layer via the through holes, thereby avoiding partial absorption within the substrate. Thus the overall utilization of light beams is increased. A backlight module includes, for example, a light guide plate having a light incident surface and a light emitting surface, a light source disposed adjacent to the light incident surface, and the above-described diffusion plate disposed adjacent to the light emitting surface.
Abstract:
A double-sided liquid crystal display device (20) includes a light guide plate (21) having an incident surface (211), a side surface (213), and an emitting surface (212) opposite to the side surface. A light source (22) is disposed opposite to the incident surface, and a transflective liquid crystal panel (23) is disposed adjacent to the emitting surface. The transflective liquid crystal panel enables the LCD device to achieve double-sided display via the emitting surface and the side surface respectively. Because the double-sided LCD device uses the transflective liquid crystal panel to achieve double-sided display, the double-sided LCD device can have a reduced thickness and be relatively inexpensive.
Abstract:
An exemplary backlight module (23) used in a liquid crystal display (2) includes light emitting units (29), a light guide plate (26), and a frame (25) for receiving the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface (261) and protrusions (267) extending from the light incident surface. The protrusions together with corresponding portions of the light incident surface cooperatively define receptacles (260). Each of the receptacles has one of the light emitting units fittingly received therein.
Abstract:
Nucleotide sequences encoding novel splice variants of FOXP1, proteins encoded by the novel splice variants and antibodies thereto are disclosed. In addition, methods are described for maintaining a population of homogenous self-renewing and pluripotent stem cells, suppressing stem cell differentiation, and reprogramming somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells comprising the use of the novel splice variants. Also disclosed are modulators of alternative splicing such as MBNL1 and MBNL2 and methods and uses thereof for promoting pluripotency.
Abstract:
An LCD device (2) includes a first liquid crystal panel (110), a second liquid crystal panel (120), and a backlight module (130). The backlight module includes a light source (131), a light guide plate (132), a first set of optical films (133), and a second set of optical films (134). The light guide plate includes a light incident surface (135), a first light-emitting surface (136), and a second light-emitting surface (137). The light source is disposed adjacent to the light incident surface. The first set of optical films is disposed between the light guide plate and the first liquid crystal panel, and the second set of optical films is disposed between the light guide plate and the second liquid crystal panel. A plurality of dots (148) is formed at the second set of optical films, to enable the LCD device to provide a high quality display effect.
