Abstract: Apparatus and methods relating to display stacks wherein one or more index matching layers are utilized to minimize reflectance at the boundaries of otherwise adjacent layers. More particularly, the present invention is directed to methods and apparatus relating to a multilayer display stack comprising a glass layer, a first index matching layer, a first intermediate layer, a second index matching layer, a second intermediate layer, and a light emitting display panel wherein: the glass layer, first index matching layer, first intermediate layer, second index matching layer, and second intermediate layer are each transparent or translucent, and comprise an index of refraction; the index of refraction of the first index matching layer is between the index of refraction of the glass layer and the first intermediate layer; and the index of refraction of the second index matching layer is between the index of refraction of the first intermediate layer and the second intermediate layer.

Abstract: A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator utilizing a fundamental frequency crystal with an input RC network to bias an input transistor. Temperature compensation for the oscillator is achieved by the use of a series diode in the emitter circuit of the input transistor. As the temperature changes, the emitter-to-base voltage varies and causes the emitter current to vary in the opposite direction. The voltage across the series diode tracks with the emitter-to-base voltage in the same direction. With these occurrences, the emitter-to-collector voltage is controlled and stabilized over a range of temperature changes. The parallel RC circuit which couples the input transistor to the output drive transistor provides the necessary base current and input impedance for the output trnasistor to permit saturation of and wave shaping by the output drive transistor.
