Abstract:
A method of constructing a flexible panel display using gold as a conductive element and a matrix of carbon fibers as emitters is presented. The invention provides a novel defined pixel width of three emitter fibers per cell wherein each cell is positioned within three emulsion layers of suspended nano-crystals stack positioned vertically atop one-another. Each of these respective layers is excited by a single carbon fiber. In the preferred embodiment, fiber length ends from each cell are positioned at the mid-point of each respective polymer layer thickness and produce one of red, green, or blue colors required to complete the image formation.
Abstract:
A sputter deposition method and system for producing a metal oxide film, especially a dielectric standoff layer of a thin film/nanolayer capacitor. A noble gas, such as argon, is used to sputter metal ions from a metal target, such as niobium, in the presence of a partial pressure of oxygen in a vacuum chamber. And an oxygen-to-noble gas flow ratio entering the vacuum chamber is controlled by a flow controller to be within an operating range defined between a predetermined lower limit (such as 30% O2/Ar for niobium oxide) associated with a minimum transparency/stoichiometric threshold and a predetermined upper limit (such as 80% O2/Ar for niobium oxide) associated with a maximum roughness/porosity threshold, so that a reaction between the sputtered metal ions and the oxygen produces a substantially transparent metal oxide film with a substantially smooth non-porous surface.
