Patent number: 5698941Abstract: An optical correction layer for a light emitting apparatus having gaps in brightness at the light-emitting surface. The optical correction layer includes a plurality of optical correction regions centered over the gaps, and a plurality of optically transparent regions which overlay the remainder of the light-emitting surface. The optical correction regions include appropriately formed grooves which collect and redirect light adjacent the gap. The light is redirected to cover and effectively conceal the gap. The optically transparent regions permit light to travel through, without redirection.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1996Date of Patent: December 16, 1997Assignee: MotorolaInventors: James E. Jaskie, Lawrence N. Dworsky, Karen E. Jachimowicz, Fred V. Richard, Kathleen Tobin

Patent number: 5644187Abstract: A an electron source utilizes a novel extraction grid conductor (20,40,41) to assist in focusing an electron beam emitted by the electron source. The extraction grid conductor (20,40,41) has a collimating conductor (29,31) that separate an extraction grid section (17,21,22) of the extraction grid conductor from conducting strips (26,24,32,33) that electrically connect the extraction grid section (17,21,22) to an external voltage source. The collimating conductor (29,31) creates an electric field that prevents emitted electrons from being attracted to the conducting strips (26,24,32,33) thereby maintaining the emitted electron beam in a substantially column-like configuration.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1994Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: MotorolaInventors: James E. Jaskie, Lawrence N. Dworsky

Patent number: 5528098Abstract: An electron source is formed to have a redundant conductor extraction grid (17) and redundant column conductor (38, 39). Grid (17) has a plurality of conductor strips (21, 22) that overlay the column conductors (38, 39). When one conductor strip (21, 22) of the grid (17) is shorted to an underlying conductor, the non-shorted conductor remains usable. Similarly, the column conductors (38, 39) each have a plurality of column conductor strips (14, 25, 41, 42) that underlie the grid (17). When one column conductor strip (14, 25, 41, 42) is shorted to the grid (17), the non-shorted column conductor strip remains usable.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1994Date of Patent: June 18, 1996Assignee: MotorolaInventors: Lawrence N.

Patent number: 5502347Abstract: A display device (10) positions emitters (34,36,37,38,41,42,43,44,46, and 47) equidistant from a meander conductor (26). The meander conductor (26) is formed with a pattern that facilitates such equidistant placement. The equidistant placement results in approximately equal ballast resistor values for each emitter (34,36,37,38,41,42,43,44,46, and 47).Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1994Date of Patent: March 26, 1996Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Lawrence N.
