A mirrorless optical waveguide can include a cladding and a core. The core can include an elongate section parallel to a surface plane. The core can further include two curved end sections that curve toward a surface plane. The surface plane can be parallel to a substrate. The cladding can have nanoparticles made of acrylic and/or urethane. The core can have similar nanoparticles of acrylic and/or urethane as well as nanoparticles with a high refractive index such as zirconia. The mirrorless optical waveguide can be formed by ink-jet printing.

Preparation and usage of optical waveguides

An illuminating device is configured to include a light guide structure having a first light source configured to emit light of a first wavelength to excite at least one red fluorescent transparent substance; a second light source configured to emit light of a second wavelength to excite at least one green fluorescent transparent substance; and a third light source configured to emit light of a third wavelength to excite at least one blue fluorescent transparent substance.

Illuminating device

Hybrid nanoparticles and transparent light guides using the hybrid nanoparticles are disclosed. In some examples, a hybrid nanoparticle may include an organic blue-light emitting material, and an inorganic material bonded to the organic blue-light emitting material.

Hybrid nanoparticles and illumination devices using the hybrid nanoparticles

Light guide structures having a transparent member containing at least one red fluorescent transparent substance, at least one green fluorescent transparent substance, and at least one blue fluorescent transparent substance are disclosed.

Light guide structure and illuminating device

A color image receiving tube comprising three color (red, green and blue) phosphor screens on an inner surface of a face-plate; wherein at least two of said three color phosphor screens are coated with pigments; and wherein said three color phosphor screens have a total reflective brightness less than 70% that of three color phosphor screens with no pigment coating. According to the above-mentioned constitution, a color image receiving tube having a higher emisson brightness and contrast is achieved as compared to a color image receiving tube having the same reflective brightness, where the reflective brightness is obtained by lowering the light transmittance of its face-plate.

Color image receiving tube with pigment-coated phosphor particles

On the outer surface of a glass face panel 1 of a display device, a first layer 2 of an electrically conductive transparent thin film having a high refractive index, and a second layer 3 and a third layer 4 having a low refractive index are deposited as an anti-reflection film. The first layer 2 is formed to have a thickness in a range of 10-20 nm, whereby the surface of the anti-reflection film has a luminous reflectance of 1.5% or less, and a reflectance of 3% or less at a wavelength of 436 nm most prominent light of blue.

Display device

On the outer surface of the glass face panel 2 of a display device, a first layer 5 of an electrically conductive transparent thin film, a second layer 6 of another transparent thin film consisting essentially of silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) or magnesium fluoride (MgF.sub.2), and a third layer 7 of uneven exposed surface, are deposited, whereby a multiplicity of concave regions of said third layer 7 form an interference film together with said first 5 and second layer 6, whereas a multiplicity of convex regions of said third layer form an irregular reflection surface.
