Abstract:
A composite article having a conductive layer on at least a portion of a flexible substrate. Electrical connectivity between various portions of the substrate can be obtained through this conductive layer. The conductive layer comprises a conductive surface, and there is a patterned layer on at least a portion of a first region of the conductive surface. The patterned layer comprises a conductive material having a surface roughness, and is in electrical contact with the conductive surface. An overcoat layer is present on at least a portion of the first region, such that the overcoat layer has a thickness less than the surface roughness, such that the conductive layer within the first region is covered by the overcoat layer, and such that at least a portion of the patterned layer substantially protrudes above the overcoat layer. The protruding portion permits electrical contact with the patterned layer, and via the conductive layer to other parts of the patterned layer and/or electrically conductive connectors to external electronic devices. Methods for forming the composite article are also disclosed. Methods of making such composite articles are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a REPEATED-SCAN driving method, which applies to a field sequential color liquid crystal display, wherein each sequential-color cycle (31) of the multiplex-scan signal (30) has at least two stages of scans (32) to increase the luminous fluxes of all colors of backlights (20) and bring closer the total amounts of fluxes, whereby is achieved higher color saturation and better flux uniformity between the rows. Further, the method of the present invention controls the backlights (20) to form dark stages (21) between the intervals respectively of two different colors of the backlights (20) and controls the dark stage (21) to coincide with a color-mixing interval, which is caused by response delay of liquid crystal, to prevent from color distortion caused by color mixing. Therefore, the present invention can generate the pure colors and the designed derived colors accurately.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a liquid crystal display, comprising a matrix of pixels arranged in crossed lines and columns and in which a switch in the state of the liquid crystal molecules, controlled by application of an electric control signal between two electrodes (50, 52) enclosing each pixel, which brings about a flow in a given direction (18), the pixel addressing being carried out by a line by line addressing either in a single step or in two steps, the first step comprising a collective addressing of at least a part of the screen in a given single texture, followed by a second step of line by line addressing, characterised in comprising, for controlling the switching of at least some of the pixels (P), a step for application to at least one adjacent pixel (58) of auxiliary electric signals wherein, depending on the direction of flow of the pixel (P) the switching of which is to be controlled, the rising or falling fronts of the auxiliary signals are temporally advanced in relation to or simultaneous with the active falling front of the electric control signal with a time offset of between 0 and several tens of microseconds at ambient temperature, such as to promote the switching of said pixel (P) for control, said auxiliary electric signals being applied in the second step when the addressing is in two steps. The invention further relates to a display.

Abstract:
An electrochemical display unit capable of being simplified in unit construction and reduced in cost with a simple matrix drive implemented. An electrochemical display unit that effects displaying by using electrochemical depositing/melting of a metal. The unit is driven by a simple matrix drive system, and uses as a threshold value in a simple matrix drive a deposition over-voltage at which metal ions deposit as a metal. The drive voltage is up to two times the deposition over-voltage. The electrochemical display unit has a transparent electrode and a counter electrode, and displays images by depositing/melting of a metal on the transparent electrode, the potential difference between a metal deposited on the transparent electrode and the counter electrode being set to be less than a deposition over-voltage. Ideally, the same metal as one deposited on the counter electrode is used.

A reflective liquid crystal colour display device (5) is driven by image data that has been filtered so that relatively dark regions are displayed lighter than indicated by the image data, so as to compensate for image darkening in the visual representation of the image produced by the display device.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device (A1) includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, a plurality of first electrodes (2R, 2G), a plurality of second electrodes (3) intersecting the first electrodes, a liquid crystal layer arranged between the first electrodes and the second electrodes, a color filter directly or indirectly covering each of the first electrodes, and a driver (7) for supplying image display signals to the first electrodes and the second electrodes. The first electrodes are connected to scanning signal supply terminals of the driver to periodically receive a scanning signal. The second electrodes are connected to control signal supply terminals of the driver to selectively receive a control signal. The driver causes the liquid crystal layer to be in either an ON state or an OFF state by supplying the scanning signal and the control signal to the first electrodes and the second electrodes, respectively.
