  • Patent number: 5844364
    Abstract: A display has a matrix array of cells formed in a silicon plate and each containing a tungsten strip filament. The cells are filled with a halogen gas and are sealed by a double-glazed window with an infra-red reflecting filter to reflect heat back into the cell while allowing the transmission of visible radiation. The rear of the plate is treated to make it microporous and reduce its thermal conductivity.

  • Patent number: 5716536
    Abstract: Main electrodes 3, 4 are formed on the inner surface of a flexible insulating sheet 2 along opposed edges thereof, and junction electrode sections 3a, 4a are formed on the main electrodes at their central portions. Comb-toothed sub-electrodes 7, 8 extend from the main electrodes 3, 4 into interdigitated relation, and a layer of electrically resistive material 9 is formed over the main and sub-electrodes. Electrically conductive paths 5, 6 are formed on the inner surface of a terminal mounting substrate to which terminals are attached, and one ends of the conductive paths 5, 6 are connected with the corresponding junction electrode sections 3a, 4a while the other ends thereof are connected with the terminals to be connected to a power supply. The terminal mounting substrate with the terminals is bonded to the insulating sheet.
