Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an electrophoretic display film which can be controlled to malfunction permanently within a period of time. It provides an elegant method to utilize an electrophoretic film for anti-counterfeit purposes. The concept involves the removal of strong barrier layer(s) from the film to allow the solvent in the electrophoretic fluid within the film to evaporate through weak barrier layer(s), and within a period of time, the performance of the display film will be significantly degraded and the film cannot be re-used.
Abstract:
A display device includes: a display panel; a plurality of backlight units disposed on a rear side of the display panel; a first frame disposed on a rear side of the backlight units; a heat transfer sheet disposed on a rear side of the first frame above a predetermined position; and a second frame disposed on a rear side of the heat transfer sheet. An air layer is formed between the first frame and the second frame, below the heat transfer sheet.
Abstract:
An active matrix substrate ( 1 ) includes a source electrode ( 32 ), a drain electrode ( 33 ), and a semiconductor layer ( 31 ) of oxide semiconductor. A gate insulating layer ( 42 ) of silicon oxide is formed on the gate electrode ( 12a ); a source electrode ( 32 ), a drain electrode ( 33 ), and a semiconductor layer ( 31 ) are formed on the gate insulating layer ( 42 ); a first protection layer ( 44 ) of silicon nitride is formed on the gate insulating layer ( 42 ) without covering the semiconductor layer ( 31 ); and a second protection layer ( 46 ) of silicon oxide is formed on the semiconductor layer ( 31 ). The first protection layer ( 44 ) covers the signal line ( 14 ) and the source connection line ( 36 ).
Abstract:
A TFT 1 is formed on a glass substrate 11, and a flattening resin film 17 covering the TFT 1 is formed. Furthermore, a moisture-proof protective film 18 covering the entire surface of the flattening resin film 17 is formed. For the protective film 18, a SiO 2 film, a SiN film, a SiON film, or a stacked film thereof is used. The edge surfaces of the flattening resin film 17 are disposed on the inner side of or under a seal 4, and are formed in a tapered shape. By this, the entry of moisture into the flattening resin film 17 is prevented, preventing display degradation. This effect becomes noticeable in a display device including an oxide semiconductor TFT.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an electrically switchable laminate construction for applications including smart windows, and other uses and applications in which light management is desired. The electro-optical laminate construction has scattering and transparent modes of operation for dynamically controlling electromagnetic radiation flow.The electro-oprical laminate structure (10) generally comprises a CLC material (12) interposed between a pair of optically-transparent eletrically-conductive layers (14a) and (14b) supported upon a pair of spaced-apart transparent, flexible polymeric films (16a) and (16b).
Abstract:
A switchable hydride smart window solid thin film coating having variable opacity and the methods for producing the same is described. The coating includes the following layers deposited on substrate such as glass: a switchable layer (414), an optional barrier layer (415), a catalyst layer (416), an optional barrier layer (417), a solid electrode (418), an ion storage layer (420), an optional insulating layer (421) and a transparent conductor layer (422). The switchable layer is preferably formed of a magnesium alloy and ore preferable, a ternary alloy of magnesium along with two additional rare earth metals such as yttrium (Y) and Titanium (Ti), i.e., MgYTi.
