摘要:
The invention comprises a process for joining a first surface and a second surface where the first surface comprises an initially non-solderable surface which comprises coating the first surface with a solder-adhesion layer to produce a solder-adhesion layer on the first surface and providing a Thermal Interface Material (“TIM”) composition comprising solderable heat-conducting particles in a bondable resin matrix where at least some of the solderable heat-conducting particles comprise a solder surface. The TIM composition is placed between the first surface and the second surface to extend between and be contiguous with both the second surface and the solder-adhesion layer on the first surface. Sufficiently heating the TIM composition results in (a) soldering at least some of the solderable heat-conducting particles to one another; and (b) soldering at least some of the solderable heat-conducting particles to the solder-adhesion layer on the first surface. When the second surface comprises a solderable surface, the particles will also bond to it. When the second surface is not solderable, a solder adhesion layer can be placed on it. The process also includes adhesively bonding the resin matrix to the first surface and the second surface. The first surface can comprise an electronic device such as a semiconductor device and the second surface can comprise a heat sink, such as a solderable heat sink. The invention also comprises a process for improving the heat conductivity of a TIM, an article of manufacture made by the process, and a composition of matter comprising the TIM.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for providing a display cell structure based on the transmissive liquid crystal technology with a useful aperture ratio even as the cell size shrinks to less than 20 microns. The invention overcomes a problem of the prior art wherein the fractional area transmitting the light of the conventional designs becomes unacceptably low due to the aperture reducing opaque storage capacitor. This reduction in aperture ratio is removed in this invention by hiding the trench capacitor below the row and column x,y lines. The cell storage capacitor is formed using a vertical trench capacitor in SOI. Although useful even in standard display sizes and configurations, the invention is particularly useful for head-mounted displays and/or optical projection displays at the UXGA form factor for both monochromatic and color displays. Alternate capacitor configurations are described.

An optical system is described consisting of reflection birefringent light valves, polarizing beam splitter, color image combining prisms, illumination system, projection lens, filters for color and contrast control, and screen placed in a configuration offering advantages for a high resolution color display. The system includes a quarter wave plate positioned to suppress stray reflection from the projection lens. The system also includes a second quarter wave plate disposed on the screen and a polarizing film disposed on the second quarter wave plate to suppress ambient light from illuminating the screen and entering the system.
