Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thin display (15), and a method of manufacturing the same. The display (15) comprises an isolated substrate 80), with cavities (60) also called micro pockets in a pattern, or created with a separate sheet (55) with holes (60) mounted on the substrate (80). These micro pockets (60) will make the picture elements of the display (15). The display (15) further comprises perforated holes (70) in the centre of the micro pockets (60) and a conductive material (40, 50) covering the surfaces inside the micro pockets (60) and the perforated holes. An electro-optical material (30) fill the cavities (60), and a uniform layer of transparent conductive material (20) cover all the filled micro pockets (60). A top layer of a transparent substrate (10) cover the conductive layer (20).
Abstract:
An apparatus introduces fluid in vias formed in an LCD element free of voids or air bubbles in the fluid material. A support base secures the LCD element in place during fluid flow from a fluid dispenser positioned proximate to the LCD element. Fluid flow is facilitated by thermal energy from a heating element arranged in thermal contact with the support base.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a photographic copier apparatus for projecting a photographic original onto a light sensitive copy material. The photographic copier has the following: (a) a light source for emitting light for the projection, (b) a number of optical, light guiding elements for guiding the light along a light path from the light source to the copy material as well as for the projecting of the original onto the light sensitive copy material, and (c) a liquid crystal matrix through which the light is guided by way of the light guiding elements, before it exposes the copy material. According to the present invention, the liquid crystal matrix has a plurality of elements, the transmission of which can be individually changed. The change in transmission of each element of the liquid crystal matrix is achieved by scattering of the light passing through the element, whereby the degree of the scattering is controllable by application of a voltage.
