Abstract: This disclosure provides devices, apparatuses and methods of providing an optical filter with quantum dot films for converting a first wavelength of light to a second wavelength of light. The optical filter includes a plurality of high refractive index layers and a plurality of low refractive index layers alternatingly disposed between the high refractive index layers. Quantum dots are dispersed in either the high refractive index layers or the low refractive index layers. In some implementations, the quantum dots are capable of absorbing blue light and emitting green light. Thus, the optical filter can be part of a red-green-blue lighting device that includes a first blue LED optically coupled with the optical filter to produce green light, a red LED and a second blue LED.

Abstract: Systems, methods and methods of manufacture for, among other things, a MEMS display that has a substrate with a first and a second array of apertures. The first and second arrays are, typically, formed on the substrate so that the arrays are adjacent and define a field boundary line that may extend between the two arrays and along a width of the substrate. In at least one array, the apertures that are proximate the field boundary line are placed at locations on the substrate to reduce differences in luminance between one portion of the display and another portion of the display.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for reducing hotspots in backlit displays. Hotspot artifacts in multi-color backlit displays can be reduced by incorporating optical structures along the edges of light guides incorporated into the backlights. The optical structures are positioned adjacent to light emitting modules that emit light into the light guide. Light emitted from the light emitting modules passes through the optical structures before entering the light guide. Hotspot size can be reduced by appropriately configuring the shapes and sizes of these optical structures. In some implementations, the optical structures may include serrations along the side of the light guide adjacent to the light sources. In some other implementations, the optical structures may include dimples. Size of hotspots may also be reduced by reducing the distance between adjacent light sources of the same color.

Abstract: In one innovative aspect of the disclosure, a method includes patterning a first region and a first portion of a second region of a substrate using a first reticle. The method also includes patterning the second region and a first portion of the first region using a second reticle. The method additionally includes forming a first array of first patterned elements based on the patterning by the first reticle, and forming a second array of second patterned elements based on the patterning by the second reticle. In some implementations, each of the first and the second arrays are incomplete in each of the first portions. However, the first patterned elements in the first portion of the second region are complementary to the second patterned elements in the first portion of the second region. Similarly, the first patterned elements in the first portion of the first region are complementary to the second patterned elements in the first portion of the first region. In some such implementations, the combination of the first array and the second array form a complete array of patterned elements.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for improving angular distribution of light and total light throughput in a display device. A display device can include first and second substrates and an array of display elements positioned between the first and second substrates. A first light blocking layer can be positioned on the first substrate and can define a first plurality of apertures. A second light blocking layer can be positioned on the second substrate and can define a first second of apertures. A plurality of reflective sidewalls can be positioned adjacent to at least one edge of a respective aperture of the first plurality of apertures. The reflective sidewalls can help to improve angular distribution of light and total light throughput of the display device.

Abstract: This, disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for improving the angular light distribution of a display apparatus. Smaller shutter-based display apparatus that modulate light passing through at least two apertures in an aperture or light blocking layer can provide similar viewing angle characteristics as larger shutter-based modulators by disproportionately reducing the width of a subset of the at least two apertures in relation to the remainder of the apertures. As the width of such apertures is one of the primary determinants of viewing angle, allowing a greater percentage of the light throughput of a shutter assembly to pass through wider apertures helps maintain a wider viewing angle for the display.
