    摘要: A light modulation device with matrix addressing including a matrix of cells. Each cell has two flaps fixed to a substrate by flexible attachments, a control electrode, a row electrode and a maintenance electrode. The flaps can adopt two stable positions through the application of suitable voltages to the row and maintenance electrodes. The flaps are activated by the application of a control voltage to the electrode at the same time as the voltage on the row electrode is returned to zero. The arrangement of the electrodes together with the existence of a maintenance electrode, which is common to all the flaps on the matrix, allows matrix addressing to be achieved.

    摘要: Each segment of a display device, e.g., a seven-segment display comprises at least one shutter normally obturating a cavity in a carrier on a base plate. Each shutter is suspended by two resilient attachments and can turn about a torsion axis established by these attachments under the influence of an electric field applied between a common electrode on a transparent cover plate and an electrode, individual to the shutter at the bottom of its cavity. An optical contrast is provided by light reflection or absorbance caused by a shutter remaining in a rest obturating position or rotating to an open position to allow light absorption in an absorbing layer backing the base plate which is transparent. A selective light transmission (light valve) construction is equally possible. The shutters themselves may be used as one electrode of each pair, with the torsion axis along a shutter edge. The shutters may be immersed in a liquid dielectric so that a smaller opening angle is required and the attachments can be shaped to provide the required degree of resilience.

    摘要: The obturators can be actuated in order to modulate an incident beam (L). Microshutters (5) are attached to a substrate by means of fastenings opposing resistance to their rotation away from a rest position. The microshutters (5) are placed on optical paths (X--X) so as to be able to interrupt them or establish them. They are fitted out with reflecting surfaces (7) so as to deflect the light when they are in the blocking position. On each optical path (X--X) a supplementary reflecting surface (8), a diaphragm (6) and a focusing means (4) are placed. Thus, in line with its position, each microshutter can focus the light on the diaphragm (6) so as to allow it to pass or to deflect it in order to block it. The application thereof is in the transformation of a beam (L) into a modulated beam (Lm).

    摘要: In a MOS-controlled turn-off thyristor (MCT), a conventional integral cell with a combined emitter and short-circuiting function is replaced by a separate DMOS cell (D) and emitter cell (E). The DMOS cell (D) contains a five-layer sequence of cathode short-circuit region (18), first channel region (19), second base layer (7), first base layer (8) and emitter layer (9). The emitter cell (E) contains a four-layer sequence of first emitter region (20), second base layer (7), first base layer (8) and emitter layer (9). This basic structure produces a component which is easy to produce and is distinguished by a high reverse-blocking capability.

    摘要: This miniature relay is obtained by micromachining on a substrate using etroforming, photolithography and/or similar techniques, all its components being obtained on the substrate by integration operations similar to those used for fabricating integrated circuits. A mobile contact (26) is borne by an elastic lever (19) attached, overhanging, to the substrate (1). A lever (19) forms a rocker and is attached to the substrate (1) by means of a deformable connection. At each of its free ends is provided an armature (20, 21) of a magnetic circuit which defines a seat against which the armature can be applied with a magnetic force opposite that generated by the elastic deformation of the lever (19). Each magnetic circuit is additionally provided with at least one coil (10a, 10b, 11a, 11b) which can be selectively excited and can generate a second magnetic force, opposite that of the magnetic circuit, in order, when the armature is applied onto its seat, to release the armature associated with this coil and apply the other armature onto its seat by tilting the lever (19).

    摘要: An adjustable optical component, for example an optical slit having adjustable slit width, comprises a movable member for providing an optical function, for example a slit and/or a shutter, and resilient suspension elements for connecting the movable member to a frame. The essential parts of the movable member, of the resilient suspension elements and of the frame consist of microstructures which are made of a common base material. Preferably, these parts are manufactured from a silicon chip by a micromechanical technique comprising, for example, anisotropic etching. In the case of an optical slit, the movable member comprises a plurality of openings of different widths which constitute a step slit. In order to adjust different slit widths, the member is moved along a line parallel to the center line of the step slit, with the force for moving the member being applied at an opening. When the member is moved by an external force, the resilient silicon beams are bending and the bars are moving. The movable member has an integrated shutter position. A high reproducibility of the adjustment of the center positions of the openings constituting the step slit during repeated movement of the member is ensured.
