Abstract:
The simultaneous addressing and sustaining of an AC plasma display panel comprised of a multiplicity of Plasma-shells with the display divided into a plurality of Plasma-shell sections S1, S2, Sn. The Plasma-shells in at least one section of the panel are addressed while the Plasma-shells in at least one other section of the panel are simultaneously sustained. A reset voltage is simultaneously applied to all of the Plasma-shells in each section before the addressing of Plasma-shells in one section and the simultaneous sustaining of Plasma-shells in another section. Plasma-shell includes Plasma-sphere, Plasma-disc, and Plasma-dome.
Abstract:
There is disclosed the priming or conditioning of an AC gas discharge plasma display panel for improved selective write and selective erase which comprises addressing n number of rows in an order or sequence that is changed from frame to frame such that later rows to be addressed are advanced in the sequence with each subsequent frame. Each frame consists of the addressing of all n rows. Specific embodiments include the use of plasma-shells, plasma-tubes, and/or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a positive column gas discharge plasma display device comprising one or more ionizable gas filled elongated Plasma-tubes. The display may be a dual substrate or a single substrate device. One or more substrates may be of a flexible material. The ionizable gas produces photons in the UV, IR, and/or visible range during gas discharge. The photons may excite one or more luminescent materials located on or in close proximity to one or more Plasma-tubes. The plasma display device may contain at least one Plasma-shell filled with an ionizable gas that produces photons in the UV, IR, and/or visible range during gas discharge. Plasma-shell includes Plasma-disc, Plasma-dome and Plasma-sphere.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent display device and driving method including an apparatus comprised of at least one organic-light-emitting diode (OLED), a rectification diode and a capacitor used as a memory device. A frame period of the display device is divided into sub-frames, which have address and light emission periods. Current mode data programming is used to address the display device in each sub-frame. In the light emission period, charge previously stored in selected capacitors during the address period, supplies the forward current for the OLEDs. A ramp waveform applied to the row electrode, during the light emission period, forces the capacitor to discharge through the OLED and controls the forward current level. The operation of the OLEDs are retained in their area of maximum performance.
Abstract:
A method for controlling the formation of molybdenum solid solution in Mo—Si—B composites which comprises processing at 1400° C. or less to minimize, if not prevent, the silicon from going into solid solution in the molybdenum.
Abstract:
A switchable Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) in which the switchable elements are Plasma-shells. Plasma-shells as described herein allow for control or ‘reconfiguration’ of the FSS electromagnetic (EM) properties.
Abstract:
A gas filled detector shell for the detection of high energy transmissions, including microwaves, lasers, electromagnetic signals, RF waves, radiation, and/or other transmissions emitted by a source including a weapon system. The shell may also be used as a safety device to warn and alert personnel working around high energy devices of electromagnetic leaks. In one embodiment, the shell is made of a substance that detects or senses energy transmission.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for generating UV and for treating a material with UV utilizing gas filled plasma-shells that emit UV during gas discharge. The UV treatment may include sterilization, purifying, or curing of liquids, gases, or solids. Applications include water treatment, chemical reactions, cosmetic tanning, and medical uses.
