The switchable grating includes two electrically conductive substrates and a switchable liquid crystal grating layer, which is disposed between the two electrically conductive substrates. When an electric field is applied to a presumption area of the switchable liquid crystal grating layer by the two electrically conductive substrates, the electric field could shift an orientation of a cholesteric liquid crystal molecule of the presumption area. When the electric field is removed, the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule still maintains the aforementioned orientation, thus decreasing energy consumption. When a display device manufactured by the aforementioned switchable grating switches an image to a 2D image or a 3D image, the display device has lower energy consumption. | 06-30-2016 |

| 20160377830 | IN-FLIGHT AUTO FOCUS METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TUNABLE LIQUID CRYSTAL OPTICAL ELEMENT - An auto-focus system employing a tunable liquid crystal lens is provided that collects images at different optical power values as the liquid crystal molecules are excited between a ground state and a maximum optical power state tracking image focus scores. An image is acquired at a desired optical power value less than maximum optical power established with the liquid crystal molecules closer a fully excited state than the maximum optical power state having the same image focus score. This drive signal employed during image acquisition uses more power than was used to achieve the same optical power value during the auto-focus scan, while actively driving the liquid crystal molecules is fast. A pause due to image transfer/processing delays after acquisition is employed to allow slow relaxation of the liquid crystal molecules back to the ground state in preparation for a subsequent focus search. | 12-29-2016 |
