A method of aligning transparent substrates includes disposing one or more Moiré interference patterns on a side of a first transparent substrate, disposing one or more inverted Moiré interference patterns on a side of a second transparent substrate, and aligning the first transparent substrate to the second transparent substrate using Moiré interference. Each Moiré interference pattern is center-aligned to a corresponding inverted Moiré interference pattern.

A method of mounting a flexographic printing plate with structured patterned backing tape includes attaching a first end of a structured patterned backing tape to a printing plate cylinder at a scribe line. The structured patterned backing tape is wrapped around the printing plate cylinder. A second end of the structured patterned backing tape is cut at the scribe line. A first end of a flexographic printing plate is attached to the printing plate cylinder at an offset seam location ahead of the scribe line. The flexographic printing plate is wrapped around the printing plate cylinder. A second end of the flexographic printing plate is cut at the offset seam location.

The encoding and processing of data for many applications can be rendered more tractable when the encoding method can independently manipulate two or more parameters that result, by conjunction, in an accurately posted data value precisely where it is expected. From a data standpoint, this would entail dividing an n-width digital word into separate fractional words and processing the subsets consecutively and independently, where the distinction between these fractional words has an explicit bearing on the information being borne. For example, an 8-bit word can be decomposed into two 4-bit words, half of which are processed while the transmission source is at full intensity, the other half being processed while the transmission source is at 1/16th intensity, thereby recovering the entire dynamic range of the original 8-bit word while reducing the bandwidth and cycle speed necessary for the transducer to be driven by the input signal.
摘要:
The application of microstructures which improve the quality of light available to the viewer of an optical display system, or any display which works on the concept of moving one surface into direct contact or close proximity of a light guide to extract light through frustrated total internal reflection. Optical microstructures are introduced on one or both of the surfaces of the active layer to enhance its performance. Since the active layer has both an input and an output function, means for enhancing both are presented. The input function to the active layer occurs on the internal surface, so this is where the present invention adds a collector-coupler, a means for facilitating the migration of light from the waveguide into the active layer. The output function occurs on the external surface, where the present invention adds a collimator, a means for both increasing the probability that a light wave will be released from the active layer, and improving the apparent intensity by redirecting light waves so that more of them reach the viewer. Compound microlenses on the internal surface of the active layer can serve as both collector-couplers and collimators, substantially improving light extraction from the light guide and light distribution to the viewer. Depositing a reflective or colored material in the interstitial spaces between these compound microlenses improves the contrast ratio and mitigate pixel cross-talk. The opaque material can be conductive for use in actuating the display.

A mechanism for mitigating undesired color image breakup artifacts arising in display systems that exploit the principle of field sequential color generation. By suitably reducing the time interval during which image information strikes the moving retina, such that the differential position for the respective red, green, and blue components of the image falling upon the moving retina does not exceed the diameter of a retinal cone or rod, the cause of the breakup is negated and the image becomes unitary as expected: the eye sees the image as if all the components arrived at the same time. The truncation of light emission into shorter time frames necessitates a compensatory increase in imaging light intensity, such that the net amount of photonic flux striking the retina, averaged over time, remains unchanged. The mechanism can be applied to systems with discrete red, green, and blue sources as well as to color-wheel-based systems.
摘要:
A circuit for implementing a registration-free, contiguous conductive plane. A circuit may include a plurality of conductive structures in a first plane. The circuit may further include a contiguous conductive equipotential surface in a second plane parallel to the first plane. The circuit may further include activation means configured to adjust an electric field between the first and second planes thereby activating one or more structures in the first plane by increasing a potential difference between the first and second planes to a threshold level deemed to constitute an active state. The circuit may further include deactivation means configured to adjust the electric field between the first and second planes thereby deactivating one or more structures in the first plane by decreasing the potential difference between the first and second planes below a threshold level deemed to constitute a deactivated state.
摘要:
An addressing mechanism for charging and discharging quasi-capacitive elements in an X-Y matrix. The addressing mechanism may be configured to toggle a resistor-capacitor (RC) time constant between large and small values such as by opening or closing a circuit path to a low impedance resistor disposed in parallel with a higher impedance in-line resistor. When this occurs, elements in the X-Y matrix can be addressed and controlled. The X-Y matrix may be comprised of multiple “rows” and “columns” of conductors where crosstalk may occur along the columns and rows. Crosstalk may be curtailed by using either hysteresis management or global control of the row's impedance along its entire length. The resulting control obviates the need for active devices at each matrix element to perform the switching functions.

An actuator (100) taking advantage of ponderomotive forces to enhance its electromechanical performance as a function of input energy. An actuator (100) may include a first conductive layer (102) residing on a first electret layer (101). The actuator (100) may further include a moveable second electret layer (103) which is spaced apart in relation to the first conductive layer (102) when the second electret layer (103) is in a quiescent state. The actuator (100) may further include a second conductive layer (104) in a spaced apart relation to the second electret layer (103) when the second electret layer (103) is in the quiescent state. The actuator (100) may further include a voltage source (105) configured to selectively apply a voltage between the first (102) and second (104) conductive layers thereby propelling the second electret layer (103) to either the first (102) or second (104) conductive layer.

A method and system for generating colors efficiently. In one embodiment, a start signal for a primary color subcycle may be received. A primary light source used to drive the primary color may be activated if there is data in the primary color's buffer. The primary light source may be deactivated during the primary color subcycle if there is no data in the primary color's buffer. In another embodiment, a highest amplitude signal for one of a plurality of primary colors may be normalized. A drive light source intensity may be adjusted to a percentage or a maximum intensity where the percentage corresponds to a content of the normalized primary color in a frame. The amplitude of all but the normalized primary color may be adjusted proportionally. In another embodiment, a maximum intensity for a light source intensity may be set to a first value. A maximum pixel intensity for each of a plurality of pixels may be set to a second value. The maximum intensity for the light source intensity may be adjusted by the first value divided by the second value. An amplitude for each of the plurality of pixels may be adjusted by the second value divided by the first value.
