Abstract:
An electronic display includes a light source system and a light guide system, where the light guide system emits light features laterally, i.e., from the side, at selected positions along its length. The light source system includes one or more electronically controllable light sources and further includes optical switches or other arrangements for coupling the light sources to the optical fibers or other light guides of the light guide system. The light source system can sequentially or progressively increase the selected longitudinal position at which the light feature is emitted, resulting in the appearance of movement of the light feature along the length of the light guide system.
Abstract:
A communication arrangement and a method are provided for bidirectionally transmitting data between a first communication unit and a second communication unit. The first communication unit and the second communication unit are connected to one another via a fiber-optic link. In addition, the first communication unit and the second communication unit have a nonoptical link between them. Data in one transmission direction is transmitted via the fiber-optic link and data in the other transmission direction is transmitted via the nonoptical link.

Abstract:
An LED module includes a substrate having good thermal conductivity and one or more radiation-emitting semiconductor components that fixed on the top side of the substrate. The underside of the substrate is fixed on a carrier body having a high thermal capacity, in which the component fixing between the semiconductor components and the substrate and the substrate fixing between the substrate and the carrier body are embodied with good thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing the LED module, in which metal areas that are suitable as an etching mask improve the impressing of the current required during the anodic bonding, and at the same time, are used as contact areas for contact-connecting the radiation-emitting semiconductor components. The LED module has the advantage that the semiconductor components can be subjected to higher energization as a result of the high thermal capacity of the carrier body.
Abstract:
A target for production of transparent electrically conductive layers by cathode sputtering is produced from indium oxide-tin oxide powder mixtures or coprecipitated indium oxide-tin oxide powders. A target with especially high mechanical strength consists of an oxide ceramic material into which metallic phase components have been incorporated in a uniform and finely distributed manner and which has a density of more than 96% of the theoretical density of indium oxide/tin oxide consisting purely of oxide.
Abstract:
Oxide-ceramic targets of partially reduced indium oxide-tin oxide mixtures are described. The targets provide high sputter performances, and they exhibit an essentially defined degree of reduction between 0.02 and 0.3, a density between 75 and 98% of the theoretical density and a specific electric resistance between 89.times.10.sup.-3 and 0.25.times.10.sup.-3 .OMEGA. cm. The degree of reduction must not deviate at any point on the target surface by more than 5% from the average degree of reduction of the target. The targets are produced by means of hot-pressing the oxide mixtures which were partially reduced beforehand in a special method step.
Abstract:
A sputter target includes a sputter material made of an alloy or a material mixture composed of at least two components which are in a state of thermodynamic disequilibrium. The components are compacted by an isostatic or uniaxial cold-pressing process.
Abstract:
A method for optical coupling an optical waveguide to an optical unit arranged in or on an optical module, a corresponding optical module, coupling element, and a kit of coupling elements is provided. The optical module has a reference geometry which defines a first axis of symmetry. Any offset between a first optical axis of the optical unit and the axis of symmetry of the reference geometry is determined. A coupling element corrects the offset and has an input/output area on opposite faces having offset second and third optical axes. Light input along the second optical axis is guided in the coupling element and output along the third optical axis, and vice versa. Once assembled, the center axis of the coupling element coincides with the axis of symmetry of the optical module, and the first optical axis of the optical unit and second optical axis of the coupling element coincide.
