An electro-optic display comprises a substrate (100), non-linear devices (102) disposed substantially in one plane on the substrate (100), pixel electrodes (106) connected to the non-linear devices (102), an electro-optic medium (110) and a common electrode (112) on the opposed side of the electro-optic medium (110) from the pixel electrodes (106). The moduli of the various parts of the display are arranged so that, when the display is curved, the neutral axis or neutral plane lies substantially in the plane of the non-linear devices (102).
摘要:
Self-aligned features of double sided integrated circuits are formed by modifying a buried layer in an integrated circuit substrate to provide a modified buried layer. The modified buried layer can be formed using ion implantation. In particular, a first feature on an upper surface of the integrated circuit is used as a mask during an ion implantation step. The first feature on the upper surface shields an underlying portion of the modified buried layer from the ion implantation, thereby preventing the modification of the underlying portion. The integrated circuit is flipped over and a lower surface of the integrated circuit is processed wherein a second feature is formed on the lower surface using the modified buried layer as a mask. Accordingly, the second feature is formed self-aligned to the modified buried layer and to the first feature.

A non-linear element is formed on a flexible substrate by securing the substrate to a rigid carrier, forming the non-linear element, and then separating the flexible substrate from the carrier. The process allows flexible substrates to be processed in a conventional fab intended to process rigid substrates. In a second method, a transistor is formed on a insulating substrate by forming gate electrodes, depositing a dielectric layer, a semiconductor layer and a conductive layer, patterning the conductive layer to form source, drain and pixel electrodes, covering the channel region of the resultant transistor with an etch-resistant material and etching using the etch-resistant material and the conductive layer as a mask, the etching extending substantially through the semiconductor layer between adjacent transistors. The invention also provides a process for forming a diode on a substrate by depositing on the substrate a first conductive layer, and a second patterned conductive layer and a patterned dielectric layer over parts of the first conductive layer, and etching the first conductive layer using the second conductive layer and dielectric layer as an etch mask. Finally, the invention provides a process for driving an impulse-sensitive electro-optic display.

摘要:
A thin-film transistor includes a gate electrode having first and second gate electrode edges on opposed sides, and a drain electrode having a first edge that overlaps the first gate electrode edge, and a second edge that overlaps the second gate electrode edge. A diode array is fabricated by successive deposition of a conductive layer, a doped semiconductor layer and an undoped semiconductor layer adjacent to the substrate. A display pixel unit provides reduced capacitative coupling between a pixel electrode and a source line. The source line includes an extension that provides a source for the transistor. A patterned conductive portion is disposed adjacent to the source line. Another display pixel unit provides reduced pixel electrode voltage shifts using a source line and a balance line.
