An ambient light adjustment (ALA) apparatus, a method and a system therewith are proposed. The ALA apparatus includes a main body having a plurality of edges, one or more light sources, a light blocking layer and a controller. The light source is mounted on at least one edge of the ALA apparatus. The main body comprises at least one light guide plate. The light blocking layer is disposed over a surface of the main body. The controller is coupled to the light source and the light blocking layer. The ALA apparatus further comprises at least one sensor coupled to the controller. The controller controls the light characteristics of the light source and/or the light blockage levels of the light blocking layer to adjust ambient light characteristics, according to a sensed result by the sensor or sensors.

A method of preparing an organic-inorganic hybrid material is described. A M(OR)x and an organically modified Si-alkoxide having a predetermined functional group are dissolved in a first solvent and a second solvent to form a first solution and a second solution, respectively. The first solution and the second solution are then mixed and heated. As a result, the M(OR)x reacts with the organically modified Si-alkoxide to form a functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid material. Furthermore, the solid content of the functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid material is increased by transferring the same into another solvent. Therefore, a thick hybrid film is fabricated by means of the transferred functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid material.

A variable optical attenuator and a method of manufacturing thereof are described. First, a bottom cladding is formed on a substrate. A waveguide structure having a core region and an attenuation region is subsequently formed on the bottom cladding by photolithography. A top cladding is then formed on the bottom cladding and the waveguide structure, and an electrode is next disposed thereon and is aligned above the attenuation region of the waveguide structure. Further, the waveguide structure is composed of a sol-gel material, which is obtained by mixing a solution of metal alkoxide with a solution of organically modified Si-alkoxide and heating the same.

Variable optical attenuator derived from sol-gel material and manufacturing method thereof

The present invention provides a metal salt-containing resin composition, which comprises (a) a hydrophilic polymer which is a polymer or copolymer of an ethylene oxide-containing monomer, and (b) 0.1 to 30% of a metal salt, based on the weight of the hydrophilic polymer. The resin composition of the present invention has long lasting antistatic properties and a lower surface resistivity than the hydrophilic polymer alone.
