摘要:
A lighting device for liquid crystal display provides as output a polarized extended light flux. It comprises a light source 100 comprising a layer with high albedo A on the light emission surface SD(A), on which are stacked a quarter-wave plate 101 and a reflecting polarizer 103. This results in a light transmission gain of the order of 1+A, which makes it possible to produce displays with high luminance and low electrical consumption.Application to flat-screen displays.

A customer self-checkout system includes one or more checkout stations and multiple supervisor terminals. The supervisor terminals provide support to, and control over, the self-checkout system and checkout stations. A controller is used to coordinate communications among the checkout stations and supervisor terminals over a wired and/or wireless network interfaces. A user may provide input at supervisory terminal using an interface providing context sensitive prompting to enable control using a simple keyboard interface.

Micropoint emissive cathode electron source and field emission-excited cathodoluminescence display means using said source. The source comprises a series of electrodes (5) acting as cathode conductors and carrying micropoints (12) and a series of electrodes (10g) acting as grids, each of the electrodes of one of the series being in contact with a resistive layer (7) and having a lattice structure, so that there are consequently tracks (5a) which intersect and define first openings (6), each of the electrodes of the other series having second openings (11) which are displaced with respect to the first openings.

The source includes columns (4) emitting electrons and lines (6) whose potential evolves up to a positive value Vl. The screen also includes at least one additional column (24) common to all the lines, means (28) to bring this additional column to a negative potential so that, irrespective of the potential of the lines it crosses, electrons may be emitted in the crossing zones, at least one additional anode (26) opposite the additional column, and means (30) to bring this additional anode to a positive potential of less than Vl. Each line is controlled by a single output transistor (32) which brings it to Vl when it is activated and disconnects it from the voltage source Vl when it is disactivated. Application for microtip screens.

Method for displaying levels of greys on a matrix display screen, such as a chiral smectic phase ferroelectric liquid crystals screen, comprising a cell containing the crystal provided on its walls with two matrix systems of right angle i line conductors and j column conductors, the various pixels of the image being defined by the superimposed crossings of these conductors, wherein each pixel is embodied with the aid of p independent sub-pixels each having its own transmission coefficient, each of which is able to display several states of different basic greys, including black and white, and, on each of the p sub-pixels, one of the states of the preceding greys is displayed by taking account, for each of these, of its own transmission so as to obtain for each pixel via the visual addition of the contributions of each sub-pixel the display of a suitable shade of grey closest to the analog value indicated by the video write signal.

A system for controlling the shape of a charged particle beam. The particle beam is emitted from a source (58) of the said particles. Said source is associated with a collecting electrode which collects the particles. The system comprises at least one resistive zone (56) and at least two control electrodes (52, 54). The resistive zone and the control electrodes are arranged substantially at the same level as the source. The control electrodes are also placed on either side of the resistive zone and serve to polarize the latter. The electrical resistance profile of the resistive zone is chosen in such a way that it has the potential distribution so that it is possible to obtain the desired shape of the beam from the source when the control electrodes are appropriately polarized.
