Abstract: Methods and structures are provided which support spacer walls (100) in a position which facilitates installation of the spacer walls (100) between a faceplate and backplate of a flat display. In one embodiment, spacer feet (111, 112) are formed at the opposing ends of the spacer wall. Tacking electrodes can be provided on the faceplate to assert an electrostatic force on the spacer feet (111, 112), thereby holding the spacer feet in place during installation of the spacer wall. The spacer wall can be mechanically and/or thermally expanded prior to attaching both ends of the spacer wall to the faceplate. The spacer wall is then allowed to contract, thereby introducing tension into the spacer wall which tends to straighten any inherent wavines in the spacer wall. Alternatively, spacer clips can be clamped onto opposing ends of a spacer wall to support the spacer wall during installation. The spacer clips can provide electrical connections to face electrodes located on the spacer wall.

Abstract: A method for creating a faceplate of a display provides a faceplate substrate with a faceplate interior side and a faceplate exterior side. A plurality of barriers are formed on the faceplate interior side, with the barriers defining a plurality of subpixel volumes. Phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixtures of red, green and blue, are deposited into subpixel volumes, and create a faceplate interior side/phosphor interface. At least a portion of the phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixture is exposed with sufficient actinic light through the faceplate interior side/phosphor interface to polymerize a selected depth of the phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixture in the subpixel volumes, and form a polymerized phosphor containing material in a plurality of subpixel volumes. Non-polymerized phosphor containing photopolymerizable material is removed from the polymerized phosphor containing material.

Abstract: A display (50) with enhanced image contrast contains an image-producing component (60) and a set of shutter strips (80). The image-producing component, typically a flat-panel device, has multiple imaging lines that provide light to produce an image. Each shutter strip is situated in front of one or more associated imaging lines. By appropriately switching the shutter strips between light-absorptive and light-transmissive states, the image contrast is enhanced. The shutter strips are typically implemented with a liquid-crystal display structure. The switching of the shutter strips is typically performed with a control component (52/76) which utilizes light to control the shutter switching and which is synchronized to signals (90 or/and 100) that control the imaging lines.
