摘要： A flat panel display and a method for forming a flat panel display. In one embodiment, the flat panel display includes a wall which is held in place by a structure formed either on the faceplate or on the backplate. In one embodiment the supporting structure is formed by two adjacent walls that form a slot which mechanically restrains the wall. In another embodiment a slot is formed within the faceplate and the walls of the slot mechanically restrain the wall. In one embodiment wall segments are inserted into supporting structures that mechanically restrain each wall segment. In another embodiment a UV curable or a heat curable adhesive is used to maintain walls in their proper alignment and position. In yet another embodiment a conductive material is melted so as to bond conductive lines located on the wall and conductive lines located on the faceplate. This bond electrically connects the conductive lines located on the wall and the conductive lines located on the faceplate and maintains the wall in the proper alignment. The present invention eliminates the need for feet which attach to individual walls for maintaining the walls in the proper alignment.

摘要： An electrochemical procedure is employed to selectively remove certain material from a structure without significantly electrochemically attacking other material of the same chemical type as the removed material. The material to be removed constitutes part or all of an electrically non-insulating region (52C). The material which is of the same chemical type as the removed material but which is not to be significantly electrochemically attacked during the removal procedure constitutes part or all of another electrically non-insulating region (52A) electrically decoupled from the first-mentioned non-insulating region. The electrochemical removal procedure is performed with an organically based electrolytic solution containing organic solvent and acid. The electrochemical removal procedure is typically assisted with an impedance component (42B) having characteristics designed to overcome electrical short problems between the material to be removed and the material not to be significantly electrochemically attacked.

摘要： A component (10 or 12) of a flat-panel display is cleaned with a fluid having a mole-fraction dominant constituent. The cleaning operation is performed by subjecting the component to the cleaning fluid while its absolute pressure exceeds the absolute pressure at the triple point of the dominant constituent and is at least 20% of the absolute pressure value at the critical point of the dominant constituent. The temperature and pressure of the cleaning fluid are typically controlled in a direction toward the supercritical state of the dominant constituent.

摘要： A memory device provides a relaxed write timing scheme that improves access time. The address and/or the data is set up to the memory array during a previous write cycle so that the next write cycle can proceed without delays produced in delivering the address and/or the data to the array during the write cycle in which the data is to be written to the array.

摘要： An ECL logic gate (70) includes a voltage protection clamp (60) for protecting a first bipolar transistor (58) from being too heavily reverse biased when an input signal A.sub.IN is pulled to V.sub.SS. The ECL logic gate (70) includes an emitter-follower input stage and a differential amplifier stage. A voltage protection clamp (60) includes a second transistor (52) and a resistor (53) and acts to divide the amount of reverse bias on the first bipolar transistor (58) between a third transistor (51) and the first transistor (58), thereby bringing the reverse bias voltage on the first transistor (58) within acceptable levels to prevent degradation of the first transistor (58).
