Abstract:
Conventional backlight for liquid crystal flat panel displays normally exhibits a larger divergence (±60°).  This divergence is detrimental for some applications where collimation and efficiency along with uniformity are essential qualities for required backlight.  This talk presents an approach that utilizes the waveguide technique to assemble edge-lit widely spread light into a collimated beam profile.  In this talk, a module consists of two key components will be analyzed in theory, schematic and simulation, which is verified by the experimental result where an edge-lit backlight with collimation £±2° is demonstrated.  Furthermore, applications of this kind of backlight will be briefly discussed.

Biography:
Dr. Li received his Ph. D. in Microelectronics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1999), M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Wayne State University (1993), and B.S. in Optical Engineering from Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Engineering (1983).
In 2008, Dr. Li joined the Division of Nano Devices and Materials, Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics (Sinano), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), as a “Hundred Elite” professor.  Prior to Sinano, Dr. Li founded Starley Tech Co. at Ningbo, China in 2004 and served as CEO and president.  From 2000 to 2004, Dr. Li was a senior process engineer at Chorum Technologies, Richardson, Texas.  Prior to Chorum, Dr. Li was a senior device engineer and project manager at Ball Semiconductor Inc., Allen, Texas.  Before coming to United States, he was a research engineer at National Center (Northwest) for Metrology and Testing, Xian, China for 7 years.
