  • Patent number: 9035932
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for an electronic display with thermally compensated pixels. Such an electronic display may have an array of pixels, at least some of which may be thermally compensated pixels that exhibit reduced thermal color shift over an operational temperature range. These thermally compensated pixels may have compensation electrodes that induce an electric field in the thermally compensated pixel that cause a reduction in color shift.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8558782
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for maintaining a target white point on a light emitting diode (LED) based backlight. In one embodiment, the backlight may include two or more groups of LEDs, each driven at a respective driving strength. Each group may include LEDs of a different chromaticity, and the respective driving strengths may be adjusted, for example, by varying the duty cycles, to maintain the target white point. To ensure that the white point may be maintained over an operational temperature range of the backlight, the LEDs may be selected so that the chromaticities of each group of LEDs are separated by at least a minimum chromaticity difference. Further, the LEDs may be selected so that at the equilibrium temperature of the backlight, the LEDs may produce the target white point when driven at substantially equal driving strengths.

  • Patent number: 4451206
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blade end for rotary wing of an aircraft, whose span is between 5 and 15% of the span of said blade. According to the invention, this blade end is charaterized in that, between points A and B', there is a stagger which, measured parallel to the span of the blade, is between 5 and 25% of the chord of the profile of the blade adjacent said blade end and in that the leading edge line of said blade end is curvilinear and such that its angle of sweep .phi. varies progressively and continuously from a low value .phi..sub.o near the blade, of between 0.degree. and 30.degree., up to a high value .phi..sub.E towards the outside of the blade, of between 60.degree. and 90.degree.. The invention leads to increased performances and to a reduction in the noise level of rotary wings.
