摘要:
A two dimensional scanning device, for use in a projecting display, comprising a surface (53) suspended by at least two torsion elements (55) defining a torsion axis (B), and a first actuator (60, 61) for pivoting said surface (53) around said torsion axis (B). The scanner further comprises a cantilever beam (51) having one end fixed in relation to said surface and an opposite end arranged to bend around a bending axis (A) non-parallel to said torsion axis (B). The cantilever beam (51) is provided with a reflective surface and a second actuator (58) is arranged to bring said cantilever beam to oscillate at its resonance frequency. The combination of a slow torsion scanner and a faster cantilever scanner 10 provides a two dimensional scanner capable of scanning a laser beam in a raster pattern to project an image.

A display unit comprising electro-wetting pixels (1300) is provided. The inventive pixels (1300) provide bistable or multi-stable pixel states and thus facilitates passive matrix addressing. For this purpose an additional electrode (1305) is arranged for each multi-stable state. Consequently, each pixel comprises one counter electrode (1306) and at least one pair of address and retain electrodes (1304, 1305). In order to activate a pixel, an address potential is applied to the address and retain electrodes (1304, 1305) in relation to the counter electrode (1306), and in order to deactivate a pixel the potential is removed. In order to retain a current pixel state a retain potential is applied to only the retain electrode (1305) in relation to the counter electrode (1306); the current pixel state, be it active or passive, will then be preserved and the retain potential configuration thus provides a bistable pixel state.

A projection system is described for displaying image information, comprising an illumination system for generating a light beam, a scanning device comprising a mirror for scanning the generated light beam to form an image on a screen, and a scan angle enlarger cooperating with the scanning device for enlarging a scan angle of the generated light beam. The scan angle enlarger comprises a reflective polarizer, a quarter-wave plate and a mirror arranged to reflect the light beam at least once between the reflective polarizer and the mirror via the quarter-wave plate. This arrangement allows a compact assembly of the projection system for use in small portable devices such as mobile phones and PDAs.

A display device comprising a plurality of pixels (26), a light source (23), and addressing means (24, 25) for coupling a selected pixel to said light source to thereby emit light, wherein the addressing means (24, 25) are arranged to address each pixel using pulse-width modulation (PWM). Further, the display comprises means (20) for amplitude modulating the intensity of said light source (23). The combination of the two modulations generates an exponentially distributed emitted light intensity, enabling proper gray scale rendering for a limited resolution in the time domain.

The invention relates to a field emission device, and a method of manufacturing same. The field emission device comprises a gate electrode (140, 340, 440) which is provided with a pattern of electron passing apertures (135, 335, 435). The gate electrode (140, 340, 440) is arranged near particles (110, 310, 410) distributed on a substrate (125, 325, 425), at least a part of said particles (110, 310, 410) being arranged for emitting electrons. By means of the gate electrode (140, 340, 440), an electric field is applicable by means of which emitting particles emit electrons. Particularly good electron emission is obtained, because the pattern of apertures (135, 335, 435) is similar to the distribution of particles (110, 310, 410) on the substrate. This is achieved by means of the manufacturing method, in which the particles (110, 310, 410) are used in an illumination step to mask regions (155, 355) of a photo layer (150, 352). Thus, a pattern is obtained in the photo layer (150, 352), which can be used to obtain a similar pattern in the gate electrode (140, 340, 440) with relative case.
摘要:
A display device comprising a light guide (12), a front plate (14), and an intermediate electromechanically operable foil (16). Two electrode layers (22, 23) are arranged on either side of the foil (16) to induce electrostatic forces on the foil (16) and to bring selected portions of the foil into contact with the light guide (12), thereby extracting light from the light guide (12). The second electrode layer (22) is arranged on the opposite side of the light guide (12) with reference to the foil (16), and separated from the light guide (12) by means of a refractive layer (28). As no electrode layer is required on the light guide itself, the light path of rays extracted from the light guide is cleaner, and the absorption of light is reduced. The light guide can have a thickness such that the light extracted from the light guide per unit length is sufficient to allow for line-at-a-time addressing
