摘要:
An incident radiation sensing apparatus comprises an array of photosensitive elements formed as an integrated circuit on a substrate. Each of the photosensitive elements includes a capacitor for storing charge, a conductive means for charging the capacitor to a preselected magnitude, a blocking means for inhibiting the discharge of charge stored on the capacitor; and a photoresponsive means formed from deposited semiconductor material for generating charge carriers at a rate responsive to the intensity of radiation incident upon the photoresponsive means. The photoresponsive means is connected to the capacitor so that the charge carriers generated in the photoresponsive means reduce the magnitude of the charge on the capacitor as a function of the magnitude of, and the time incidence of, the incident radiation. The apparatus further includes means for sensing the magnitude of charge remaining on the capacitor of a given photosensitive element a preselected period of time after its charging by the conductive means, so as to produce a signal corresponding to the time integral of the magnitude of the incident radiation impinging on the photoresponsive means connected to that capacitor during the preselected period of time. The present invention includes using such a radiation sensor in X-ray imagers, contact-type document copiers, and electronic cameras.
摘要:
By maintaining the first electrodes of a photogenerative element and a current blocking element at a common potential while electrically interconnecting the second electrodes thereof, the blocking element need not be masked from incident radiation because the stored electrical signal generated by the photogenerative element will not be dissipated by photogenerated carrier pairs contributed by the current blocking element.

摘要:
A reflective cholesteric display that may be viewed under a wide range of ambient lighting conditions, ranging from complete darkness to bright sunlight. The display includes a chiral nematic liquid crystal material located between first and second substrates, an ambidextrous or bi-directional circular polarizer, a partial mirror, also referred to as a transflector, and a light source. The liquid crystal material includes focal conic and planar textures that are stable in the absence of an electric field. The ambidextrous circular polarizer is located adjacent to one of the substrates that constrain the liquid crystal material. The chiral nematic liquid crystal display may be operated in both a transmissive mode and a reflective mode.

An improved apparatus for viewing transparent film prints, such as X-rays, mammograms and sonograms, is provided, which apparatus includes a light source, a viewing stage and an array of light valves to selectively prevent the transmission of light from the light source to certain areas of the viewing stage. The apparatus allows an operator to more efficiently and accurately discern detail in the analysis of transparent film prints.
摘要:
A display device (10) having first and second substrates (12) and (30) and a layer of a PSCT or PFCT liquid crystal material disposed therebetween. The display is driven by an addressing scheme in which voltages are applied either in phase or out of phase in order to switch the liquid crystal material between stable states.
