  • Light-source with fabric diffusing layer
    Patent number: 7682034
    Abstract: A light-source comprising at least one lighting unit (101) being arranged on a substrate (102) and a diffusing element (103) being arranged to receive and diffuse light emitted by said at least one lighting unit (101) is provided. The diffusing element (103) comprises a layer of non-woven fabric having a lower density at a side facing the lighting unit and a higher density at a side opposite to the lighting unit to obtain good diffusing properties.

  • Shape Changing Playing Pieces
    Publication number: 20080224395
    Abstract: A playing piece (10, 20) for use in a board game, and comprising at least one shapeable segment (11, 21), an input (12) and shaping means (13). An input signal from an outside control unit (17) is received at the input (12), the input signal representing a particular shape and/or size of the playing piece (10, 20). The shaping means (13) couples the input (12) to the shapeable segment (11, 21) to deform the shapeable segment (11, 21) in dependence of the input signal, for obtaining the particular shape and/or size of the playing piece (10, 20).

  • Flexible Display Device
    Publication number: 20080218369
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible display device (10) comprising a flexible substrate (12), and a plurality of electro-optical switching elements (14) accommodated on the substrate. The device is characterized in that the substrate has a plurality of through openings (16) being arranged in a repetitive pattern so that the electro-optical switching elements are located in areas of the substrate adjacent to the openings. The through openings allow for bending the display device in two directions simultaneously, with reduced tensile or compressive stress in the plane of the substrate.
