The product includes a display substrate (20) suitable for use as a display panel. The display substrate has a thickness less than or equal to 0.4 mm. Trie product also includes at least one porous support substrate (30) removably attached to the display substrate by an adhesive layer (40).
Abstract:
An electro-optic display comprises a substrate (100), non-linear devices (102) disposed substantially in one plane on the substrate (100), pixel electrodes (106) connected to the non-linear devices (102), an electro-optic medium (110) and a common electrode (112) on the opposed side of the electro-optic medium (110) from the pixel electrodes (106). The moduli of the various parts of the display are arranged so that, when the display is curved, the neutral axis or neutral plane lies substantially in the plane of the non-linear devices (102).

Devices and techniques for achieving signal filtering in RF or microwave frequencies by optical filtering via two optical resonators in two separate optical paths. One optical resonator is tunable to tune the filtering in RF or microwave frequencies. Tunable opto-electronic oscillators may be constructed based on described filters.
Abstract:
Electrolyte solutions for electrochromic devices (10) such as rear view mirrors and displays with low leakage currents are prepared using inexpensive, low conductivity conductors. Preferred electrolytes include bifunctional redox dyes and molten salt solvents with enhanced stability toward ultraviolet radiation. The solvents include lithium or quaternary ammonium cations, and perfluorinated sulfonylimide anions selected from trifluoromethylsulfonate (CF3SO3 ), bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ((CF3SO2)2N ), bis(perfluoroethylsulfonyl)imide ((CF3CF2SO2)2N ) and tris(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)methide ((CF3SO2)3C ). Electroluminescent, electrochromic and photoelectrochromic devices with nanostructured electrodes include ionic liquids with bifunctional redox dyes.

Abstract:
A real image projection system for making a real image of an object appear or disappear. The real image projection system (8) includes first and second polarizers (10, 20) to control the appearance and the disappearance of the real image of the object (25) to an observer. By changing the relative angular relationship between the transmissive axis (15) of the first polarizer (10) and the transmissive axis (32) of the second polarizer, a real image of the object appears and disappears.
Abstract:
An interface tube is provided for an image display device. In one embodiment, an interface tube having an inside surface and a center region where the at least a portion of the inside surface includes light-disbursing elements. The light-disbursing elements may be configured to direct a substantial portion of reflected light away from the center region to prevent center region from exceeding a specified temperature.
Abstract:
A full color display and photocell device (100) includes a fast response liquid crystal display (105) that has a rate of at least 75 monochrome frames per second, a transparent panel light (140) behind the fast response LCD that can emit a monochromatic light beam having a selected one of three colors, and a photovoltaic cell (150) behind the transparent panel light that converts light energy emanating from the transparent panel light into electrical energy. The full color display and photocell device (100) may also include a controller (160) that synchronizes information coupled to the fast response LCD and controls the transparent panel light to emit a sequence of monochromatic light beams of three colors.

Opto-electronic feedback (210, 220, 201) in oscillators (110) is used to suppress phase noise based on the high Q factor of the opto-electronic feedback.
Abstract:
A micro-lens array (11) with a precisely aligned aperture mask (17), and a method of forming the same, is provided. The aperture mask is formed by projecting light (52) onto a mask layer (16) using each lenslet (22) in the micro-lens array. The intensity of the light and the mask layer material are chosen so that the light forms apertures (32) in the mask layer via a non-ablative process. The resulting apertures are automatically aligned with their respective lenslets.
Abstract:
Nanofibers modified to alter their optical properties in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which nanofibers can be used in applications ranging from identification technology to energy conversion devices (e.g., thermophotovoltaics) to stealth technology. The desired optical properties can be obtained by modifying the fibers with rare earth and other materials and then can be incorporated into garments or other composite structures or can be applied as coatings on solid surfaces, to be used in a number of applications that benefit from selective emission properties.
