Abstract

An electronic modulating device is provided. The electronic modulating device includes a first substrate. The first substrate includes a first portion and a second portion. The electronic modulating device also includes a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate. The electronic modulating device further includes at least one working device disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the working device overlaps the first portion and does not overlap the second portion. In addition, the electronic modulating device includes a first adjustment unit disposed between the first portion of the first substrate and the second substrate. The first adjustment unit has a first elastic coefficient. The electronic modulating device also includes second adjustment unit disposed between the second portion of the first substrate and the second substrate. The second adjustment unit has a second elastic coefficient that is greater than the first elastic coefficient.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic modulating device, comprising:

a first substrate comprising a first portion and a second portion;

a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate;

at least one working device disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the at least one working device overlaps the first portion and does not overlap the second portion;

a first adjustment unit disposed between the first portion of the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first adjustment unit has a first thickness;

a second adjustment unit disposed between the second portion of the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the second adjustment unit has a second thickness; and

a plurality of third adjustment units disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first adjustment unit is disposed between two of the plurality of third adjustment units, and the second adjustment unit is disposed between another two of the plurality of third adjustment units, wherein at least one of the plurality of third adjustment units has a third thickness;

wherein the first thickness is different from the second thickness, and the third thickness is less than the first thickness.

2. The electronic modulating device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a working region and a non-working region, wherein the first adjustment unit is disposed on the working region.

3. The electronic modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein the third adjustment unit overlaps the first portion and the second portion.

4. The electronic modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the second portion of the first substrate and the second substrate is greater than a distance between the first portion of the first substrate and the second substrate.

5. The electronic modulating device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a modulating material layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the modulating material layer fills a gap between the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment unit.

6. The electronic modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment unit comprises photoresist.

7. The electronic modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein the working device includes a thin film transistor.

8. The electronic modulating device according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the first adjustment unit is the same as a material of the second adjustment unit.
