Abstract:
Electronic devices having patterned electrically conductive polymers providing electrical connection thereto and methods of fabrication thereof are described. Liquid crystal display cells are described having at least one of the electrodes providing a bias across the liquid crystal material formed from a patterned electrically conductive polymer. Thin film transistors having patterned electrically conductive polymers as source drain and gate electrodes are described. Light emitting diodes having anode and coated regions formed from patterned electrically conductive polymers are described. Methods of patterning using a resist mask; patterning using a patterned metal layer; patterning the metal layer using a resist; and patterning the electrically conductive polymer directly to form electrodes and anode and cathode regions are described.
Abstract:
The elimination of crosstalk between data lines and pixel cells in a thin film transistor/liquid crystal display is accomplished by applying a precharge voltage level for a given data signal level which also provides an equivalent to a compensation voltage for a prior scan line to a given data line for a time period less than the standard scan line period of the display, and applying the data signal to the given data line for the remainder of the scan line period.
Abstract:
In the invention, the technology of the formation of self assembled monolayers is employed in imparting vertical alignment and domain favoring features in homeotropic pixel elements in the technology of liquid crystal type displays. Substituted silane compounds, such as octadecylsilane when applied on a transparent conductive layer surface such as that of indium tin oxide in a hydrolyzable alcohol solution, and then followed by a baking temperature cycle, form essentially single thickness molecule layers (monolayers) of molecules that are bonded at one end to the indium tin oxide surface and have the other end of the molecule operable to influence molecular orientation and domain preference of a liquid crystal.
