Abstract: A display includes a front panel and a back panel with a light control material in between. One of the panels includes a rigid substrate, for example made of glass or rigid plastic. The other of the panels includes a flexible substrate, for example made of a flexible plastic film. The panel with the flexible substrate may be made by a roll-to-roll process, with various fabrication operations formed while the flexible substrate is still part of a web of material. The panel with the rigid substrate may be separately fabricated, then combined with the other panel on the web through a pick and place operation that accurately locates the front panel relative to the back panel. The display may be any of a variety of displays, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and electroluminescent displays, such as polymer light emitting devices (PLEDs) and organic light emitting devices (OLEDs).

Abstract: An electroluminescent display includes a pair of panels with respective corresponding substrates. At least one of the substrates has an array of microreplicated protrusions to maintain the substrates a desired distance apart from one another. The protrusions may be ridges surrounding each of a plurality of wells in which electrodes and light emitting material is located. The protrusions may be in formed in a flexible substrate by a roll embossing process. The electroluminescent display may be any of a variety of types of displays, for example polymer light emitting devices (PLEDs) or organic light emitting devices (OLEDs).

Abstract: The system involves the use of shallow boxes having an integral base and lid, with the lid being foldable down to close the box as part of the automated packaging of stacks of sheets of labels or other sheet material. The system involves one or more accumulators having buffering capability between sheet stackers and the cartoning equipment. The lids may be scored and subject to a pre-breaking step so that their three layer construction may be readily formed into boxes in the course of the packaging process.
