摘要:
A method and apparatus for an optically transparent field effect transistor on a substrate. The gate electrode, the dielectric, the semiconducting layer, the source electrode, and the drain electrode are optically transparent layers of nanoparticles that are formed using one or more graphic arts printing processes. The dielectric layer is in contact with the gate electrode, the semiconducting layer is in contact with the dielectric layer, and the source and drain electrodes are in contact with the semiconducting layer.
摘要:
An inverter circuit (500) having a drive transistor (102) that operably couples to a voltage bias input (101) (and where that drive transistor controls the inverter circuit output by opening and closing a connection between the output (105) and ground (104)) is further operably coupled to a feedback switch (401). In a preferred approach the feedback switch is itself also operably coupled to the voltage bias input and the output and preferably serves, when the drive transistor is switched “off,” to responsively couple the voltage bias input to the drive transistor in such a way as to cause a gate terminal of the drive transistor to have its polarity relative to a source terminal of the drive transistor reversed and hence permit the inverter circuit to operate across a substantially full potential operating range of the drive transistor.

An electronic apparatus, includes a plurality of electronic modules, each having a maximum thickness of no more than 90 microns, each comprising a substrate having a two sided edge connection pattern. The electronic modules are arranged adjacent to each other. Each pad of a first set of connection pads on a first electronic module is conductively connected to an opposing pad of a second set of connection pads of a second electronic module. The first set of connection pads is separated from the second set of connection pads by electrically conductive material that is less than 15 microns thick.
摘要:
A high speed controllable load uses a voltage waveform synthesizer and a driver circuit to dynamically control an electronically variable load to generate a current though an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) device under test. Sensors may be used to monitor a source voltage and the output current to generate an arbitrary waveform have a range of voltage and current phase shifts. An optical isolation circuit allows separation of grounds between a control stage and the AFCI device under test.

摘要:
An object (201) (such as a containment mechanism) supports both a functional electrical circuit (203) and an electrical circuit (202) to which the functional electrical circuit is responsive. In a preferred approach the functional electrical circuit has both a low power state of operation and a higher power state of operation. Upon detecting (104) that an area of connectivity of the electrical circuit has been severed (via, for example, corresponding manipulation of the object itself), the functional electrical circuit responsively operates (106) using the higher power state of operation.
摘要:
Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) can be created rapidly and at low cost on organic films by using a multilayer film (202) that has an electrically conducting layer (204, 206) on each side of a dielectric core. The electrically conducting layer is patterned to form gate electrodes (214), and a polymer film (223) is attached onto the gate electrode side of the multilayer dielectric film, using heat and pressure (225) or an adhesive layer (228). A source electrode and a drain electrode (236) are then fashioned on the remaining side of the multilayer dielectric film, and an organic semiconductor (247) is deposited over the source and drain electrodes, so as to fill the gap between the source and drain electrodes and touch a portion of the dielectric film to create an organic field effect transistor.

A semiconductor device having a flexible or rigid substrate (11) having a gate electrode (21), a source electrode (61 and 101), and a drain electrode (62 and 102) formed thereon and organic semiconductor material (51, 81, and 91) disposed at least partially thereover. The gate electrode (21) has a thin dielectric layer 41 formed thereabout through oxidation. In many of the embodiments, any of the above elements can be formed through contact or non-contact printing. Sizing of the resultant device can be readily scaled to suit various needs.
摘要:
A paperstock card (201) is integrally combined (102) with each of a printed dynamic display (203), a printed display control circuit (202), and a printed power source (204). So configured, the paperstock card can offer, in a relatively economical and flexible manner, textual and/or image-based content of choice. In addition, by this approach, some or all of this content can comprise animated content. By one approach, for example, this could even comprise video content depicting the person who presents the paperstock card to a given recipient.
