摘要： This invention relates to the design of apparatus for processing electronic devices, including equipment for chemical vapor deposition or transport polymerization. The new designs of gas separator plates, their configuration, and the regulation of gas flows through the system provides control over the pattern of precursor gas flow away from the separation plates, thereby decreasing the amount of byproducts that are deposited on the plates and throughout the reactor. New designs for shaping other surfaces of the dispersion head reduces contamination of those elements, and new designs for chamber panels decrease the deposition of byproducts on those surfaces, as well as other elements of the reactor. Decreasing deposition of byproducts increases the amount and the quality of the film that can be deposited without requiring the system to be shut down for cleaning. This increases the throughput of products in the deposition process, thereby increasing the efficiency of electronic device manufacture and lowering the cost.

摘要： An electrophotographic-type imaging station or printer includes a focusing lens positioned between the printer light source and a photosensitive medium. As the light source projects beams of light energy forming a row in a direction towards the photosensitive medium, the lens focuses each projected beam into a rectangular beam. The speed of the photosensitive medium and the operation of the light source are coordinated so that adjacent rows of generally rectangular beams are positioned in abutting relation with each other. The plurality of focused rows projected in row-at-a-time fashion onto the surface of the photosensitive medium form an informational array pattern having a resolution in a direction parallel with the direction of medium movement which is greater than the resolution of the pattern in a direction perpendicular to the direction of medium movement. By forming an informational array pattern in this manner, a desired informational array pattern gray scale may be achieved without a loss in the original resolution of the array pattern taken in a direction perpendicular to the direction of medium movement.

摘要： A thin film electroluminescent edge emitter structure operable as an electronically controlled, high resolution light source includes a plurality of TFEL assemblies disposed in array-like fashion on a layer of substrate material. Each TFEL assembly includes a first layer of electrically conductive material, a second layer of electrically conductive material spaced from the first electrically conductive layer and an electrically energizable, light-emitting composite layer interposed therebetween. At least the second electrically conductive layer of each TFEL assembly is segmented to provide a plurality of second electrically conductive elements, and the plurality of second electrically conductive elements in combination with the remaining layers of the assembly form a pixel group including a plurality of individual light-emitting pixels. The portion of the light-emitting, composite layer associated with an individual pixel of a particular pixel group is operable to emit light energy at the light-emitting face of the individual pixel when a first electrical signal is applied to the first electrically conductive layer which is common to the pixel group simultaneously with the application of a second electrical signal to the individual pixel second electrically conductive element.

摘要： A TFEL edge emitter structure has a bottom substrate layer, a lower common electrode layer applied over the bottom substrate layer an upper control electrode layer, and a middle EL light-energy generating stack disposed between the lower common electrode and the upper control electrode layers. The middle EL stack includes a lower dielectric layer, an upper dielectric layer, and a middle light-energy generating layer. The lower dielectric layer overlies the lower common electrode layer and bottom substrate layer. The middle light-energy generating layer is deposited over the lower dielectric layer. The upper dielectric layer is deposited over the middle light-energy generating layer. A light emitting face on a front edge of the EL stack is disposed at an angle relative to a street on the front edge portion of the substrate layer that is greater than ninety degrees. The angle selected should be sufficiently greater than ninety degrees relative to the substrate layer street so that a divergent zone of light emitted by the face is not obstructed by the street. A focussing lens is located at a position spaced in front of the inclined light emitting face of the TFEL edge emitter structure where the lens will intercept and intensify a zone of light emerging from the inclined face. A central axis of the focussing lens extends perpendicular to the respective light emitting face.

摘要： A thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) edge emitter module and packaging assembly is composed of a TFEL edge emitter module including an electroluminescent (EL) stack having a linear array of spaced-apart pixels with light-emitting front edges, an enclosure defining a sealed cavity which encloses at least a portion of the EL stack so as to sealably enclose the array of pixels in a contaminant-free environment, a thermally expansive and contractive liquid substantially filling the sealed cavity, and a cavity capacity expansion and contraction mechanism disposed in the enclosure in communication with the cavity and the liquid therein. In response to thermal expansion of the volume of the liquid filling the cavity, the capacity expansion and contraction mechanism is operable to change from a first condition toward a second condition and thereby increase the liquid-holding capacity of the enclosure cavity. Further, in response to thermal contraction of the volume of the liquid, the mechanism is operable to change from the second condition back toward the first condition and thereby decrease the liquid-holding capacity of the enclosure cavity. In such manner, the enclosure cavity liquid-holding capacity is continually maintained substantially equivalent to the enclosed volume of liquid filling the cavity.

摘要： A thin film electroluminescent edge emitter structure includes a common electrode layer and control electrodes disposed above the common electrode layer. At least one dielectric layer is disposed between the common electrode layer and control electrodes, and a phosphor layer is interposed between the one dielectric layer and common electrode layer. The common electrode layer, one dielectric layer and the phosphor layer define the light-emitting pixels of the emitter structure. Each pixel has a light-emitting face formed thereon and is operable upon application of electrical excitation to cause the radiation of light energy within its phosphor layer at least in a direction towards the pixel light-emitting face. An optical lens system associated with the pixels includes a preselected contour shaped on the light-emitting face of each pixel to define an optical lens integral therewith to project the light energy passed therethrough in a preselected direction and form a beam of light energy having a preselected beam pattern. A multi-color light emission system employed by the pixels includes a plurality of phosphor zones composing the phosphor layer and capable of projecting different light energy through the light-emitting faces of the pixels. Also, separate edge emitter structures projecting different colors of light can be utilized in a electrophotographic printer.

摘要： A thin film electroluminescent edge emitter assembly includes an edge emitter structure disposed on a layer of substrate material. The structure has a configuration to define a linear array of spaced-apart, light-emitting pixels. A packaging assembly surrounds at least a portion of the edge emitter structure to enclose the linear array of light-emitting pixels in a contaminant-free environment. At least the wall of the packaging assembly adjacent to the array of pixels is made from a translucent material to permit light energy emitted by selected pixels of the array interior to the packaging assembly to pass through the wall of the packaging assembly.

摘要： An improved facsimile machine having at least one edge emitting thin film electroluminescent line array, each array having a plurality of pixels wherein the pixels are selectively activated. A light beam from each pixel is directed to a known point along a line on a document and reflects to a sensor. The reflected beam corresponds to a grey level at the point of reflection on the document and causes the sensor to generate a signal corresponding to that greyness level. Sufficient pixels are provided to generate sufficient light beams to strike all points along a line across a document.
