摘要:
An image is updated on a bi-stable display (310) such as an electrophoretic display in successive frame periods by accessing data defining a set of voltage waveforms for the successive frame periods. At least a portion of the bi-stable display is driven during the successive frame periods according to the accessed data so that a longer frame period (FT, 1302, 1304, 1402, 1502, 1602, 1702, 1802) is used during at least a first portion of the voltage waveforms, and a shorter frame period (FT′) is used during at least a second portion of the voltage waveforms. For example, the longer frame period may be an elongated frame period, which is the longest period during which each of the voltage waveforms has a respective constant voltage value.

Electrophoretic display units (1) are driven with a reduced amount of power by efficiently clocking a data signal into the data driving circuitry (30) only once and then supplying this data signal subsequently to two or more pixels (11) in two or more different lines. This can be done in case the pixels (11) in a same column require the same data pulse, like a shaking data pulse (Sh1, Sh2) or a reset data pulse (R). As a result, time is saved, which allows frame periods to be shorter. Even more time can be saved and even shorter frame periods are possible when combining the efficient clocking with the parallel driving of groups of lines (70-72).
摘要:
A check valve made up of a substantially rigid portion and a substantially flexible membrane that is generally dome shaped. The substantially rigid portion includes one or more spokes that meet in the center of the rigid portion and one or more partial spokes extending part way to the center of the rigid portion. The dome shaped, substantially flexible membrane also includes one or more flexible spokes and one or more collapse zones. The completed check valve is made by connecting a center portion of the substantially rigid portion to a center portion of the dome shaped, substantially flexible membrane.

The present invention relates to a visual cryptography system. The system comprises a first and a second display device (1, 2), arranged for, upon being superimposed on each other, reconstructing a graphical message from two respective shares. At least one of said display devices (1, 2) comprise means for facilitating determination of the resolution and pixel size of the other. At least one, preferably both, of, said display devices (1, 2) is arranged to scale the resolution and pixel size of its share to a mutually supported resolution and pixel size, and preferably to a mutually supported smallest common multiple resolution and pixel size.

The electrophoretic display panel (1), for displaying a picture and a subsequent picture, has drive means (100) which are arranged for controlling the potential difference picture potential difference having a picture value and an associated picture duration representing a picture energy for bringing the particles (6) from one the positions for displaying the picture, and subsequently to be an inter-picture potential difference for bringing the particles (6) into one of the extreme positions which is closest to the position of the particles (6) for displaying the subsequent picture, and subsequently to be a subsequent picture potential difference for bringing the particles (6) into one of the positions for displaying the subsequent picture. For the display panel (1) to be able to have inter-picture appearances which are at the largest relatively medium visible and in which the dependency on the history due to the charging of the insulators as a result of the picture potential difference is substantially reduced in the subsequent picture update, the drive means (100) are further arranged for controlling for each picture element (2) the inter-picture potential difference to comprise a pull-back potential difference having a pull-back value and an associated pull-back duration representing a pull-back energy, the pull-back value having a sign opposite to a sign of the picture value and the pull-back energy being substantially equal to the picture energy.
摘要:
The display device comprises a driver (10, 16) which supplies drive pulses to the pixels (18) to bring the pixels (18) in a predetermined optical state corresponding to image information to be displayed. A controller (15) controls the driver (10, 16) to successively supply a drive pulse (Vni) and a correction pulse (dni). The drive pulse (Vni) has a voltage level that is sufficiently high to bring the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) into a continuously moving state as long as the drive pulse (Vni) is present. Due to the history of the drive of the pixel (18) the desired optical state will usually be reached approximately only. The correction pulse (dni) has a voltage level which is too low for bringing the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) into a continuously moving state, as the drive pulse (Vni) does, but high enough for moving the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) over a relatively small distance with respect to dimensions of the pixels (18). Thus, the correction pulse (dni) causes a relatively small movement of the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) towards an equilibrium state.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a plating buss design and method for minimizing short circuit problems in PCB panel singulation. More particularly, the invention encompasses a serpentine plating buss which increases the PCB singulation process window thereby minimizing short circuit problems due to indexing errors caused by occasional manufacturing and equipment alignment problems. The serpentine plating buss design therefore increases board yield.
摘要:
A color electrophoretic display has pixels which each comprise an image volume (IV) and a reservoir volume (RV). Different types of particles (Pf, Pm, Ps; Pa, Pb, Pc) which have different colors and different electrophoretic mobilities are present in each one of the pixels. The particles (Pf, Pm, Ps; Pa, Pb, Pc) which are present in the image volume (IV) determine a visible color of the pixel (10), and the particles (Pf, Pin, Ps; Pa, Pb, Pc) which are present in the reservoir volume (RV) do not contribute to the visible color of the pixel (10). The color electrophoretic display is driven to operate either in: a first mode wherein all the types of particles (Pf, Pin, Ps; Pa, Pb, Pc) contribute to a change of color of at least some of the pixels, or a second mode wherein only a subset of the types of particles (Pf, Pin, Ps; Pa, Pb, Pc) contribute to the change of the color of at least some of the pixels.
