摘要:
Substrates, coatings and methods for marking substrates using the coatings. The substrate contains a coating of encapsulated marking materials. Capsules of the encapsulated marking materials are designed to preferentially absorb a predetermined wavelength of light or range of wavelengths of light. The capsules contain color chemistry capable of activation by the predetermined wavelength of light or range of wavelengths of light for the generation of a color response. By utilizing capsules of differing color chemistries, such substrates are capable of multi-color image generation.

A method and a medium for laser imaging is herein disclosed. The medium incorporates one or more types of microstructures having a predetermined heat or radiation modifiable optical characteristic such as color, scattering, diffusion, diffraction, interference and iridescence. Associated intimately with the microstructures is a radiation antenna that acts to absorb radiation from a radiation source. The radiation antenna and source are attuned to one another to efficiently transfer energy therebetween and subsequently to the microstructures; this transfer of energy results in the modification of an optical characteristic of the microstructures to form an image on the medium. The medium has one or more layers that may include both the radiation antenna and the microstructures. Alternatively, the microstructures and radiation antenna may be included in separate layers. Coatings that incorporate one or more layers that include distinct microstructures and radiation antennae are also contemplated.

An exemplary solution-processed thin film transistor formation method of the invention forms solution-processed thin film layers into a transistor structure. During formation, semiconductor portions of the transistor structure are selectively heated via a laser to modify the material state of semiconductor material from a solution deposited material state to a thin film layer material state.
摘要:
An electroluminescent panel includes a partial electroluminescent panel base and a deactivatable conductive layer next to the partial electroluminescent panel base. The deactivatable conductive layer is selectively deactivated to define one or more electrically isolated conductive regions within the deactivatable conductive layer.

An electroluminescent panel includes a partial electroluminescent panel base, a layer of electrically isolated conductive areas next to the partial electroluminescent panel base, and an activatable conductive layer next to the layer of electrically isolated conductive areas. The activatable conductive layer is selectively activated to electrically connect selected electrically isolated conductive areas together to define one or more electrically isolated conductive electrode regions.
摘要:
A method for labeling a plurality of tracks on a medium is disclosed. The method detects one or more contiguous blank pixels at the conclusion of a data set representing a first track. An ending position for the first track is set at a last non-blank pixel. At least a portion of the first track up to the ending position is labeled before advancing to a second track.
摘要:
A compact disc includes a data-bearing side, a label side and media control features indicative of the label side. The media control features are readable by a disc drive when the data-bearing side is presented to an optical pickup of the disc drive.
摘要:
A flexible sheet which includes a substrate having at least one visually discernable surface and at least one electroluminescent lamp assembly positioned proximate to the surface and controlled by a suitable power source as well as means for isolating at least one electroluminescent lamp assembly from deleterious interaction with environment external to the flexible sheet. The flexible sheet can be employed in various applications including bound books, functional cards, locational orientation devices as well as in mechanisms for selectively indicating ingress or egress from architectural structures and other safety indicators. At least one component of the flexible sheet with the electroluminescent lamp assembly can be produced by drop ejection.
摘要:
A method of one embodiment of the invention is disclosed that receives information to be optically written on an optically writable label side of an optical disc. The method formats the information so that the information is optically written on a least number of tracks of the optically writable label side of the optical disc, to minimize optical writing time of the information to the optically writable label side of the optical disc.
摘要:
A method for locating a labelable region on a surface of an optical storage medium including an unlabelable region. A laser beam is impinged onto a location on the surface without marking the location. Laser energy reflected from the location is detected. Based on the reflected laser energy, it is determined whether the location is in a labelable region markable by the laser energy or an unlabelable region not markable by the laser energy.
