Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a display including an array of pixels formed in rows and columns. A touch-screen including a transparent dielectric layer having a row side and an opposed column side is located over the display. An array of row electrodes are formed on the row side and an array of column electrodes are formed on the column side. Each of the row and column electrodes extends exclusively over all of the pixels in a corresponding row or column.
Abstract:
An electronic sensing system has a transceiver with input and output pads, an excitation circuit connected to the output pad, and a detection circuit connected to the input pad. An electrically-conductive sensor patch has an electrical state that changes with exposure to a corresponding environmental factor. The detection circuit detects an electrical state of the input electrical-connection pad in response to the excitation signal and the electrical state of the sensor patch. A stack of one or more layers in order is disposed over the sensor patch in the detection region. Each layer is susceptible to a respective environmental factor, so that the sensor patch changes electrical state in response to exposure of the layer stack to the respective environmental factors of the one or more layer(s) in the selected order and subsequent exposure of the sensor patch to the corresponding environmental factor.
Abstract:
A method of making an electronic storage system includes receiving a substrate and a circuit template. A transceiver including a transceiver substrate separate from the substrate is disposed over the substrate. The transceiver includes an output electrical-connection pad, and a plurality of input electrical-connection pads. A circuit template is disposed over the substrate so that at least one of the conductors of the circuit template is electrically connected to the output pad and at least one of the conductors of the circuit template is electrically connected to each of the input pads. At least one electrically-conductive strap is printed over the substrate so that each strap electrically connects the output pad to the at least one of the input pads through at least two of the conductors of the circuit template.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a display includes providing a plurality of pixels, each pixel including only three light-emitting sub-pixels. The plurality of pixels includes a first sub-set of first pixels and a second sub-set of second pixels having locations alternating with the first pixels. Each of the first and second pixels includes a first sub-pixel emitting light of a common first color. The second pixels include a different sub-pixel emitting light of a different color that is not emitted by the first pixels. The light emitted by the sub-pixels of the first pixels defines a full-color gamut and the light emitted by the sub-pixels of the second pixels defines less than a full-color gamut. A controller converts a received image signal to a display signal for controlling the light emitted by the sub-pixels with the display signal.
Abstract:
A radiation-sensitive apparatus includes a first substrate, a radiation-sensitive layer, a plurality of spatially separated integrated circuits, each integrated circuit having: a second substrate, one or more electronic circuit(s) formed in or on the second substrate, and one or more electrode connection pads formed in or on the second substrate, each electrode connection pad electrically connected to at least one of the electronic circuit(s). Pixel electrodes are formed over the first substrate separate from the integrated circuit, each pixel electrode electrically connected to an electrode connection pad. An electronic control circuit is electrically connected to each electronic circuit in each integrated circuit. The electronic circuits are responsive to electrical signals formed by the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and the radiation-sensitive layer, the electrical signals conducted by the pixel electrodes and electrode connection pads.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of making a photo-product by sending a collection of digital images, a plurality of image-type data, an image-product selection, and a predefined image-type distribution over a communication network to a network destination. The destination, which can comprise a computer system, or an image processing service, processes the sent data and delivers the image-product selection having incorporated therein a plurality of digital images selected from the sent collection of digital images wherein a distribution of the images in the image-product matches the defined distribution.
Abstract:
An electronic storage system includes a substrate with a state region, a transceiver with memory and a controller, and a code circuit disposed over the substrate separate from the transceiver and electrically connected thereto. The code circuit includes a conductor whose electrical or mechanical state can be externally altered. At intervals, the transceiver electrically excites the code circuit and detects the electrical state of an input pad connected to the code circuit. The electrical state corresponds to the excitation and to the electrical or mechanical state of the conductor. The controller stores the detected state or a representation thereof in the memory. In response to a downlink signal, the transceiver transmits an uplink signal representing the stored detected electrical state(s) of the input pad, or the stored representations thereof.
