摘要:
The performance of electro-wetting displays can be improved by: (a) providing a concealment member (112) which conceals the moving fluid (108) when that fluid (108) is confined to a small area; (b) using the moving fluid to cover one or more sections of a filter or reflector having differently-colored sections; (c) moving the moving fluid between the rear surface and a side surface of a microcell; (d) using as a substrate for a moving fluid a substrate resistant to wetting by the fluid but pierced by multiple conductive vias capped with a material wetted by the fluid; and (e) coloring the moving fluid with pigments or nanoparticles.

A flexible electro-optic display comprises a layer of solid electro-optic material; a backplane comprising at least one electrode arranged to apply an electric field to the layer of electro-optic material; and an adhesive layer disposed between the layer of electro-optic material and the backplane and adhesively securing the layer of electro-optic material to the backplane, the adhesive layer having a storage modulus (G′) of at least about 104 Pascals at 10−3 Hz and 70° C.
摘要:
The incorporation of coupler chemistry into the fluorescent element results in a greatly improved fluorescence imaging element, displaying higher photographic speed, higher contrast, and improved image discrimination. The coupler chemistry comprises the combination of a developing agent that generates an oxidized form on reaction with exposed silver halide, together with a molecule capable of forming a stable reaction product, preferably a dye, by reaction with the oxidized form of the developer. This will have the effect of a sink for oxidized developer formed during development. In a preferred embodiment, dye-forming chemistry is combined with fluorescent imaging to provide dramatic improvements in performance of the fluorescent system.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a photothermographic imaging element comprising at least one silver halide imaging layer containing a fluorophore. The imaging element can be exposed and then processed by heating to form an image in which the intensity of the fluorescence from the element is modulated imagewise to yield a fluorescent image of the light intensities to which the element was exposed. The present invention is also directed to a method of processing photothermographic film that has been imagewise exposed in a camera, which method in order comprises thermally developing the film step without any externally applied developing agent, comprising heating said film to a temperature greater than 80° C., preferably in an substantially dry process, and detecting the luminescence latent image emitted by a fluorescent dye associated with at least one imaging layer and, based thereon, providing a digital electronic record, wherein substantial amounts or all of the silver and silver halide salts in the film are not removed before detection. A preferred embodiment of the invention is directed to a color photothermographic film.
摘要:
The present invention relates to imaged elements having a protective overcoat that resists fingerprints, common stains, and spills. In particular, a curable overcoat composition is applied to an imaged element that contains a curing agent incorporated into a top layer of the element, resulting in a cured water-resistant or spill resistant overcoat. The invention can be used to protect photographic elements and recording media. In one embodiment of the invention, a UV-curable material and a water-dispersible latex is applied to a photographic print containing a photoinitiator incorporated into the original print.

This invention provides polymeric particles uniformly coated with colloidal cupric oxide particles by forming a suspension of polymer particles as a discontinuous phase in a continuous aqueous phase containing a colloidal cupric oxide suspension stabilizer.
摘要:
A color display has continuous areas of a single color covering a plurality of sub-pixel electrodes. Each sub-pixel of a given color has sub-pixels of the same given color disposed along at least two of its adjacent edges. Each area of a single color may cover a 2×2 array of sub-pixel electrodes. The colors used may be red/green/blue/white (RGBW), red/green/blue/yellow (RGBY), or orange/lime/purple/white.
摘要:
A pixel of an electrophoretic display is driven from one extreme optical state to a second optical state different from the one extreme optical state by applying to the pixel a first drive pulse of one polarity; and thereafter applying to the pixel a second drive pulse of the opposite polarity, the second drive pulse being effective to drive the pixel to the second optical state.
摘要:
A particle for use in an electrophoretic display comprises a light-scattering inorganic core and a light-transmissive colored shell of an organic pigment. The core may be titania and the shell may be formed of particles having an average particle size less than 700 nm. The particles are produced by treating a light-scattering inorganic pigment with a polymer which adsorbs on both the inorganic pigment and an organic pigment; and adding the organic pigment and allowing the organic pigment to mix with the polymer-coated inorganic pigment. The particles may have a polymer coating.
