Abstract:
The present invention provides a transmissive Spatial Light Modulator with fast response speed and higher brightness using micro- windows having switching transistors on said window so that the fill factor of light transferring area can be maximized. Conventional systems have transistors out of windows which substantially reduce the area to pass incoming light, because transistors are usually opaque and block light transmission. Transmissive Spatial Light Modulator requires simpler and smaller optics than reflective Spatial Light Modulator.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method for manufacturing a display device arrangement, which comprises a plurality of electrochromic pixel devices (101) arranged in a matrix. First a plastic insulating layer (108) is provided comprising passages (112) for electrical conductors. Thereafter, in optional order, electrical conductors (107) are provided in the passages, pixel layers (102) are printed on one side of the insulating layer, and control layers (103) are printed on the other side of the insulating layer. By this method the manufacturing of a printed electrochromic pixel device is improved.
Abstract:
Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to electrochromic (EC) devices, assemblies incorporating electrochromic devices, and/or methods of making the same. More particularly, certain example embodiments of this invention relate to improved EC materials, EC device stacks, high-volume manufacturing (HVM) compatible process integration schemes, and/or high-throughput low cost deposition sources, equipment, and factories.
Abstract:
Prior electrochromic devices frequently suffer from high levels of defectivity. The defects may be manifest as pin holes or spots where the electrochromic transition is impaired. This is unacceptable for many applications such as electrochromic architectural glass. Improved electrochromic devices with low defectivity can be fabricated by depositing certain layered components of the electrochromic device in a single integrated deposition system. While these layers are being deposited and/or treated on a substrate, for example a glass window, the substrate never leaves a controlled ambient environment, for example a low pressure controlled atmosphere having very low levels of particles. These layers may be deposited using physical vapor deposition.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft organische elektrochrome Displays mit optischen Effekten. Hier wird eine Methode beschrieben, mittels geeigneter technischer Verfahren eine Strukturierung der Isolationsschicht (2) zu erreichen, durch die neuartige optische Effekte in elektrochromen Anzeigen ab zu bilden sind. Dabei lassen sich Auflösungen, wie sie aus der Druckindustrie bekannt sind, realisieren.
Abstract:
A light weight electrochromic dimmable mirror stack (300, 600) is presented that is composed only of solid-state layers (315, 615) with a total thickness of less than 50 micron and a reflector (310, 610). Normally such a kind of layered device suffers from iridescence due to interference of light waves reflecting at the interfaces between the layers of the electrochromic device. The solution provided by the invention is to pattern at least one of the layers (315, 615) in the device such that the interference effects are smeared out and a more neutral color is obtained. Various possible configurations are described and also the method to produce such a device.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes integrated review, material removal and material deposition functions. The apparatus performs the review, material removal and material deposition operations along the same optical axis. The apparatus includes, in part, a camera, a pair of lenses, and one or more lasers. A first lens is used to focus the camera along the optical axis on a structure formed on the target substrate undergoing review. The first lens is also used to focus the laser beam on the structure to remove a material present thereon if the reviewed structure is identified as requiring material removal. The second lens is used to focus the laser beam on a ribbon to transfer a rheological compound from a recessed well formed in the ribbon to the structure if the reviewed structure is identified as requiring material deposition.
Abstract:
An electro-optic eyewear assembly having a frame with opposed ends, a pair of temples, and a hinge mechanically interconnecting each temple to a corresponding end of the frame. Each temple moveable between a wearing position and a storage position and at least one electro-optic lens carried by the frame and a control circuit carried by at least one of the temples. The electrical connection between the control circuit and the at least one electro-optic lens being made by moving one of the temples into physical contact with the frame when the temple carrying the control circuit is moved to a wearing position.
