Abstract:
The present invention may relate to provision of a mechanism to join together the various substrate layers of a flexible display with optically clear adhesives that permit improved flexibility of the substrate layer stack and may also optically guide images to locations on a display surface that are not aligned with the display layer of a substrate layer stack. Embodiments of the present invention may provide for an improved user interface which may include enhanced flexibility and enhanced optical characteristics.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a separator/electrolyte assembly; a first energy storage portion disposed on a first surface of the separator/electrolyte assembly; a second energy storage portion disposed on a second surface of the separator/electrolyte assembly; a first metallized piezoelectric film disposed on the first energy storage portion; and a second metallized piezoelectric film disposed on the second energy storage portion. When a force is applied to the first metallized piezoelectric film, a piezoelectric effect converts mechanical strain into electric potential and each energy storage portion stores the energy converted in the first energy storage portion and the second energy storage portion for subsequent discharge from the first energy portion and the second energy storage portion to an electronic device.

Abstract:
A substrate including a fluid reservoir and a connected fluid channel, the fluid reservoir positioned away from a component region of the substrate, the fluid channel configured to extend from the fluid reservoir to guide an electrically conductive fluid from the fluid reservoir at a reservoir end of the fluid channel through the fluid channel to a component end of the fluid channel, the component end extending to the component region of the substrate to enable the formation of an electrical connection to a connector of an electronic component appropriately positioned in the component region, formation of the electrical connection allowing the electronic component to be interconnected to other electronic components using one or more of the fluid reservoir and fluid channel.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprising: a capacitance touch sensor arrangement configured to have a variable capacitance that varies when a conductive object approaches; and at least one variable impedance sensor configured to have a variable impedance that varies with a sensed parameter; an output node; and at least one switch configured to provide, in a first configuration,] an output impedance at the output node that depends upon the variable capacitance and configured to provide, in a second configuration, an output impedance at the output node that depends upon the variable impedance.
