摘要： A gyricon or rotating-particle display having an "eggcrate" substrate. The display includes a substrate having a cavity-containing matrix whose cavities are disposed substantially in a single layer and are arranged within the matrix substantially in a geometrically regular pattern, and a plurality of optically anisotropic particles disposed in the cavities in the substrate, with each cavity containing at most one of the optically anistropic particles. A rotatable disposition of each particle is achievable while the particle is thus disposed in the substrate; the particle, when in its rotatable disposition, is not attached to the substrate. Each particle, for example, can have an anisotropy for providing an electrical dipole moment, the electrical dipole moment rendering the particle electrically responsive such that when the particle is rotatably disposed in an electric field while the electrical dipole moment of the particle is provided, the particle tends to rotate to an orientation in which the electrical dipole moment aligns with the field. The single layer of cavities can be substantially planar, and the geometrical pattern of cavities can be a two-dimensional array pattern in the plane of the layer, such as a hexagonal, rectangular, or rhomboidal array pattern. The substrate can further include first and second members between which members the matrix is disposed; at least one of the members can include an optically transmissive window through which a flux of optical energy can pass so as to be incident on the particles.

摘要翻译： 具有“茄子”底物的陀螺仪或旋转粒子显示器。 显示器包括具有空腔的基体，其空腔基本上设置在单层中并且基本上以几何规则的图案布置在基体内，以及设置在基底中的空腔中的多个光学各向异性颗粒，每个 含有至多一个光学吸收性颗粒的空腔。 可以实现每个颗粒的可旋转布置，同时颗粒因此设置在基板中; 当处于其可旋转的位置时，颗粒不附着到基底上。 例如，每个颗粒可以具有用于提供电偶极矩的各向异性，电偶极矩使得颗粒电响应，使得当颗粒可旋转地设置在电场中同时提供颗粒的电偶极矩时， 颗粒倾向于旋转到电偶极矩与场对准的取向。 单层空腔可以是基本上平面的，空腔的几何图案可以是层的平面中的二维阵列图案，例如六边形，矩形或菱形阵列图案。 衬底还可以包括第一和第二构件，构件之间设置有矩阵; 所述构件中的至少一个可以包括光学透射窗口，光学能量通过该窗口可以通过以便入射到颗粒上。

摘要： An impatiens plant known by the cultivar name Columbia and characterized by its excellent keeping qualities; generally light pink flower color; firm, thick and non-fragile flower petal texture; relatively slow growth and compact, tight habit; early flowering response; dark green foliage which provides a pleasant contrast with flower color; best performance under full sunlight, and its adaptability to different environments of use, including use initially as a house plant which can later be transferred to the garden.
