  • A liquid crystal display that does not use color filters is proposed. A backlight unit that employs compartmentalized RGB LED arrays and a lenticular lens array is used instead of the color filters in order to direct RGB LED lights into the RGB subpixels. A design of color-filterless LED backlight and experimental results are presented.

  • A mathematical model was proposed to analyze the damped motion of contact lens which is initially displaced from the equilibrium position. The model incorporates the differential equations and their numerical solution program, based on the formulations of restoring force arising from the capillary action in the tear-film layer between the lens and cornea. The model predicts the capillary action induced surface tension, time dependence of displacement of lens when it is released from the equilibrium position. It seems that the motion of lens is similar to the typical over-damped oscillation caused by the large viscous friction in the liquid layer between the cornea and lens. The effect of variables such as base curves, lens diameters and thickness of tear film layer were illustrated by the computer simulation of the derived program. The time required for the lens to return to the original position increases as the liquid layer thickness increases and it decreases as the diameter of lens increases. With the certain value of base curve the time interval is found to be minimum. The free vibrations of lenses were also simulated varying the parameters such as base curve, diameter, layer thickness. The resonant frequencies are inversely proportional to the liquid layer thickness and it increases as the lens diameter increases. The resonant frequency of lens has a maximum when the diameter is of certain value. If the external impulse or force of the same frequency as the natural frequency of contact lens acted on the cornea in vivo it may cause an excessive movement and thus it might cause the distortion 10 the lens or be pulled off the eye.

  • The light guide plate (LGP) of LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display-Back Light Unit) is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots by etching process. However, the surface of those etched dots of LGP is very rough due to the characteristics of etching process, so that its light loss is relatively high due to the dispersion of light. Accordingly, there is a limit in raising the luminance of LCD-BLU. In order to overcome the limit of current etched-dot patterned LGP, micro-lens pattern was tested to investigate the possibility of replacing etched pattern in the present study. The micro-lens pattern fabricated by the modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP. The attention was paid to the effects of different optical pattern type (i.e. etched dot, micro-lens). Finally, the micro-lens patterned LGP showed better optical qualities than the one made by the etched-dot patterned LGP in luminance.

  • The autofocus system is automatically to drive the focus. It is very important to computer vision system. In the case of a compact camera, the actuator technology is used for auto-focus in mass production. the position sensor is required, the circuit configuration and easy method is widely used in VCM, compared to the stability of the drive size and the noise is a big stepping motor type, size has a piezo system having a humidity problem and the small leaded vulnerability. In addition, there is a liquid lens system, the advantages of low power in a compact structure but also a structure with proven quality and reliability and features required pressure. In this paper, we implement two control systems that can control the actuator as a liquid range of VCM using a sharpness of the image acquired by the image sensor automatically initiates 5Mpixel class was the implementation verification of focusing.

  • Today, regarded as a science in photography, the role of the lens and sensitizer is important. In this research, we manufactured simple test lens with a various diaphragm which is based on the general purpose lens, and measured the quantity of light and flare. The objective of this study is to figure out the characteristics of our test lens and maximize its usefulness. The results showed that (1) The quantity of light through the lens was not constant. (2) As for flare, its value was consist. (3) Our lens had the characteristics of the soft lens and (4) It had much chromatic abberation. Therefore, We found that a hand-made lens is to acquire visual image such as the effects of a specialized lens.

  • In general, such methods as interferometers or wavefront sensors are commonly used for testing of an optical system and optical components. In these cases, the surrounding environments are unlikely to affect the measurements. On the other hand, intraocular lenses of hydrophilic materials with special properties experience a certain difficulty in testing the optical properties. An intraocular lens is dried in the air, which causes deformation and changes the optical characteristics such as index of refraction and thickness. Thus, it is hard to measure the optical characteristics of an intraocular lens by using common methods. In this study, a special structure is used for measuring of the transmission wavefront aberration and effective focal length of an intraocular lens of hydrophilic materials by using a Shark-Hartmann sensor among the various measuring methods. As an application of this measuring method, this study shows a simple method to measure the index of refraction of unknown liquids with a plano-convex lens with a well known index of refraction. Also, this method is used to measure the optical properties of a plano-convex such as index of refraction and curvature by using a liquid with a well known index of refraction.

  • The contact angle of a meniscus and a droplet can be controlled by using electrowetting phenomena. We investigated the dynamic aspect of electrowetting for an oil-electrolyte interface formed inside a closed glass tube. A step input voltage is applied and the subsequent motion of the interface is recorded by a high-speed camera. A kind of capillary instability is observed near the three-phase contact line, which could degrade the reliability of device utilizing electrowetting such as electrowetting liquid lens. The dynamics of interface motion for different input voltages and the fluid viscosities are analyzed and discussed based on the experimental results.

  • BLU(back light unit) is one of kernel parts of LCD(liquid crystal display) unit. New 3-D micro-lens pattern for LGP(light guide plate), one of the most important parts of LCD-BLU, had been researched. Instead of dot pattern made by chemical etching or laser ablation, SCS(slanted curved surface) micro-lens pattern was designed with optical CAE simulation. This study introduce the method of design using optical CAE simulation for SCS micro-lens, the new fabrication method of micro-mold with SCS micro-lens pattern.
