Abstract: The present invention provides co-doped zinc oxide to flat panel, light emissive display devices and vacuum microelectronic devices to improve their efficiency and lifetime. This material has a low growth temperature and is compatible with metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) processing technology. It is tranparent, chemically stable and has a low work function, which result in many advantages when being used as the cathode for the aforementioned devices. In one embodiment of the emissive display device, an organic light diode (OLED) display has a high work function metal anode, such as platinum (Pt), gold (Au) or nickel (Ni) and a low work function co-doped zinc oxide cathode. Because of the energy level alignment provided by these two materials, the potential energy barriers to injection of electrons from the cathode and holes from the anode into the organic emissive medium are minimized so the display device operates more efficiently.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thin film retardation plates, such as cholesteric and A-plate compensators, for improving the viewing angle and contrast of liquid crystal displays. The A-plate is fabricated using a single substrate onto which a layer of polymerizable reactive mesogens (RMs) is solvent cast. Included in the RMs solution is an additive that migrates to the RM/air interface to lower the surface energy and generate an additive-rich surface layer, which in turn lowers the intrinsic tilt angle of the RMs at the air interface to between 25 degrees (25.degree.) and about zero degrees (0.degree.). The solvent is evaporated and the resulting film is polymerized in the liquid crystal phase to permanently orient the liquid crystal. The resulting film may be readily separated from the substrate and shaped into any desired pattern and combined to form novel compensators. In an alternative embodiment, a tilt may be provided by treating the substrate with an oblique alignment layer to form a compensator having a defined splay through the bulk of the thin film.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing illumination of a display. In an embodiment, a light guide includes a first portion to receive light, a second portion to output some or all of the light, and a third portion configured to propagate the light between the first portion and the second portion. The third portion forms a first deflection structure which adjoins, and extends between, respective surface regions of the first portion and the second portion. A light source is coupled to provide edgewise illumination of the light guide via the first portion. In another embodiment, the light propagates through the third portion and into a region, between two parallel planes, in which the second portion is located.

Abstract: A method performed by a processor of a electronic device, including rendering (402), on an electronic display, a line segment having a first direction and moving in a second direction. The method also includes a step of determining (404) whether the direction of the line segment (the first direction) is in the same direction that the line segment is moving (the second direction). If the processor determines that the line segment is not moving in the same direction of the direction of the line segment (the first direction), then the processor performs (408) a first action, such as adjusting the color intensity of the line segment. If the processor determines that the line segment is moving in the same direction of the direction of the line segment (e.g., the two directions are substantially parallel to each other), then the processor performs (406) a second action.

Abstract: An electronic device is operable to determine a touch input applied to a capacitive touch panel system thereof so as to account for time-varying noise affecting the touch panel system. The electronic device includes the touch panel system, an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) unit, and a processing unit. The processing unit is operable to: receive digital signal values from the ADC unit representing capacitances detected by sensing points of the touch panel system; adjust at least one of the digital signal values based at least on a time-varying noise to produce at least one noise-adjusted value; and determine the touch input based on the at least one noise-adjusted value. In one embodiment, the electronic device determines the time-varying noise prior to adjusting the digital signal values. In another embodiment, the time-varying noise is produced by a display panel of a touchscreen display that also includes the touch panel system.
