According to one embodiment, provided is a liquid crystal display device with a reduced size and little restriction for incorporation into other devices. The liquid crystal display device includes an array substrate that includes multiple thin film transistors for pixel driving. The liquid crystal display device also includes a counter substrate disposed in a manner opposed to the array substrate. The liquid crystal display device further includes an FPC arranged to transmit an external signal for driving of the thin film transistors. One of the array substrate and the counter substrate has an outline larger than that of the other, disposed on the display side, and includes a connecting portion at a position not opposed to the other on the side opposite to the display side. At least one end portion of the FPC is connected to the connecting portion, while the other end portion extends inward.

A display device includes an optical waveguide layer, a variable refractive index layer, and an optical layer. The refractive index of the variable refractive index layer changes in response to application of a drive voltage. The optical layer reflects or absorbs light. The variable refractive index layer reflects the light to be guided through the optical waveguide layer 11 toward the inside of the optical waveguide layer depending on the refractive index of the variable refractive index layer to allow the optical waveguide layer to guide the reflected light. The variable refractive index layer introduces the light to be guided through the optical waveguide layer into the variable refractive index layer depending on the refractive index of the variable refractive index layer and emits the introduced light out of the variable refractive index layer. The optical layer reflects or absorbs the light emitted from the variable refractive index layer.

An emblem for a vehicle comprises: (a) a light source configured to emit visible light; (b) a cover assembly disposed over the light source, the cover assembly having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a transparent portion that is transparent to the visible light, the visible light being incident to the inner surface, and the visible light that the light source emits transmitting through the transparent portion out of the outer surface to an external environment beyond the emblem; and (c) one or more surface relief patterns disposed on the cover assembly, the one or more surface relief patterns configured to manipulate (i) the visible light that the light source emits, (ii) visible light from the external environment, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).

A display device includes a housing, a frame bonded to the housing, and a display module. The display module includes a back cover bonded to the frame, a light guide plate (LGP), a support element, a display panel, and an optical film set. The LGP is supported on the back cover and has a light exiting surface and an opposite back surface. At least two sides of the LGP's back surface are adhered on the back cover, and the LGP is made of glass. The support element and display panel are supported respectively on the LGP and support element. The optical film set is between the display panel and LGP. A hybrid LGP includes a first light guide sub-plates and a second light guide sub-plate. The second light guide sub-plate is stacked on and bonded to the first light guide sub-plate.

The invention relates to an optical waveguide with at least one core region (1) extending along the longitudinal extent of the optical waveguide, and with a first jacket (2) which, viewed in the cross section of the optical waveguide, surrounds the core region (1). The invention further relates to an optical arrangement with such an optical waveguide, and to a method for producing the optical waveguide. The object of the invention is to make available an optical waveguide for high-performance operation, which is improved in relation to the prior art in terms of mode instability. The invention achieves this object by virtue of the fact that the optical waveguide consists of crystalline material at least in the core region (1).

A lighting system comprising a track having a first and a second rail, mutually extending equidistantly. Said first and second rail comprise a first respectively a second electrically conductive strip, mutually electrically isolated. A lighting module comprising a first and second electrical contact, which lighting module in mounted position rests by gravitational force on the first and second rail.
