  • Publication number: 20040048194
    Abstract: A tunable dielectric antireflective layer for use in photolithographic applications, and specifically, for use in an image transfer processing. The tunable dielectric antireflective layer provides a spin-on-glass (SOG) material that can act as both a hardmask and a deep UV antireflective layer (BARC). One such material is titanium oxide generated by spin-coating a titanium alkanate and curing the film by heat or electron beam. The material can be “tuned” to match index of refraction (n) with the index of refraction for the photoresist and also maintain a high absorbency value, k, at a specified wavelength. A unique character of the tunable dielectric antireflective layer is that the BARC/hardmask layer allows image transfer with deep ultraviolet photoresist.

  • Patent number: 6680726
    Abstract: A transmissive color electrophoretic display incorporated with a backlight, has a plurality of laterally adjacent picture elements or pixels. Each pixel is comprised of two or more subpixels, or cells, which are vertically stacked, one directly above the other on the horizontal surface of a reflective panel located at the rear or bottom of the stacks. The cells contain a light-transmissive fluid and charged pigment particles that can absorb a portion of the visible spectrum, with each cell in a stack containing particles having a color different from the colors of the particles in the other cells in the stack.

  • Publication number: 20020171619
    Abstract: A reflective color electrophoretic display intended to be viewed while illuminated from the front window by ambient light and to operate without the need of a backlight has a plurality of laterally adjacent picture elements or pixels. Each pixel is comprised of two or more subpixels, or cells, which are vertically stacked, one directly above the other on the horizontal surface of a reflective panel located at the rear or bottom of the stacks.
