A multi-color electroluminescent display has a plurality of discrete, laterally spaced areas of light emitting material formed over respective groups of first and second electrode regions. The light emissive material over each group is capable of emitting radiation of a different color. The multi-colored device is formed by a sequence of steps where each emitting layer is deposited as. a precursor which is susceptible to patterning and which is then converted into its polymer which is not susceptible to subsequent patterning steps. This allows a second color to be deposited on top of a first color, the second color being patterned while avoiding damage to the first color below it.

A film of photosensitive material is illuminated from first and second sides with coherent polarized light so as to form an interference pattern within the film. Regions of cyclicly varying refractive index are provided in the film in accordance with the intensity of the interference patten, thereby forming an polarization sensitive refractive index grating. The refractive index grating may be used as a polarization and wavelength dependent mirror, patterned polarizer, beamsplitter or filter.

Means are provided for modulating each sub-carrier in response to respective input signals for providing a plurality of optical signals for transmission. A reference sub-carrier having a frequency such that the intervals between the reference sub-carrier frequency of each of the respective signal carrying sub-carrier channel frequencies is distinguishable from the intervals between respective signal carrying sub-carrier channels.

An integrated electro-optical device according to the invention comprises a pixellated liquid crystal modulation layer superimposed over an electronic detection layer. Modulator pads for the liquid crystal layer may be formed as electrically conductive combs to achieve optical polarization. Where the liquid crystal layer provides selective absorption of unpolarized light, and separate polarizers between the liquid crystal and detection layers are therefore unnecessary, the device comprises such a liquid crystal layer superimposed over the electronic detector layer. Further, an integrated electro-optical device, optionally of the above type, has a plurality of pixels of the liquid crystal layer for each pixel of the detector array. This allows optical shuttering of the detector pixels by electrically modulating the pixellated liquid crystal layer.
摘要:
A switchable holographic device which includes a first polarizer having a spatially varying direction of polarization. The device also includes a liquid crystal device arranged to act as a controllable phase plate, the liquid crystal device having a predetermined phase shift in one state and substantially no birefringent activity in another state. The liquid crystal device is thus controllable to selectively alter the polarization of at least some of the radiation passing therethrough or to have substantially no optical activity. An output polarizer receives the radiation from the liquid crystal device so that, depending on the state of the liquid crystal device, the hologram is replayed or not replayed.
摘要:
An improved method for salvaging a spring element with a degraded force constant for return to a work environment. The spring element is subjected to a high temperature and extended duration annealing treatment alone or in combination with other treatments. The resultant salvaged spring is characterized by a more durable force constant relative to the original spring when it was new.

A display comprises a light modulator defining an array of pixels arranged in rows (2) and columns (3) and addressable to select between at least an opaque state for each pixel and a transparent state for each pixel. The display includes a light emitting device arranged adjacent the light modulator to act as a light source for the display. The light modulator is a passive matrix liquid crystal display device and the light source is an electromumninescent LED. The light source is addressable to emit light from selected regions LER, each region overlapping at least a plurality of rows (2) of the light modulator. In this way, the problem of electrical cross-talk in the display is reduced.
