  • Patent number: 7808717
    Abstract: Apparatus for providing a fluid meniscus with variable configurations by means of electrowetting. A fluid chamber (5) holds two different fluids (A, B) separated by a meniscus (14) of which the edge, having different sides, is constrained by the fluid chamber. A first electrowetting electrode (2a) is arranged to act on a first side of the meniscus edge and a second electrowetting electrode (2a?) is arranged to act separately on a second side of the meniscus edge. Selected meniscus configurations can be formed by providing selected voltages to the first and second electrowetting electrodes respectively.

  • Patent number: 7307672
    Abstract: In a 2D/3D display, a switchable lenticular array having foci which can be switched in a continuous way between first focal strength and a second focal strength is provided. The switchable lenticular array comprises fluid cylindrical lens portions, while the foci can be controlled by electrowetting.

  • Patent number: 7282769
    Abstract: The electronic device comprises a thin-film transistor (10) and can be obtained from two substrates (1, 11). In order to preclude delamination at a non-adhesive interface between a metal pattern (24, 29) and an organic layer (4), the metal pattern (24, 29) comprises apertures (30). Through these apertures (30), adhesion between the organic layer (4, 5) and organic material at the surface (111) of one of the substrates (11) can be brought about. The electronic device can be manufactured by use of microcontact printing.

  • Patent number: 7187344
    Abstract: Switching between 2D and 3D visualization is achieved by an optical-index matching fluid (9) which can be brought between a lenticular sheet (6, 7) and a top plate (10). The fluid may contain two immiscible fluids while switching is based on (re)distribution of the fluids due to electrostatic forces.

  • Patent number: 6700796
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transponder provided with an integrated circuit, an antenna, and a first capacitor provided with a dielectric and a first and a second capacitor electrode, which transponder comprises a stack of layers, i.e.: a first layer of a dielectric material, a first patterned electrically conductive layer of which the antenna forms part, a second layer of a dielectric material, and a second patterned electrically conductive layer. The invention further relates to an appliance provided with a transponder which comprises an integrated circuit, an antenna, and a first capacitor.
