Abstract: An electronic device is formed from electronic elements deposited on a substrate. The electronic elements are deposited on the substrate by advancing the substrate through a plurality of deposition vacuum vessels, with each deposition vacuum vessel having at least one material deposition source and a shadowmask positioned therein. The material from at least one material deposition source positioned in each deposition vacuum vessel is deposited on the substrate through the shadowmask positioned in the deposition vacuum vessel to form on the substrate a circuit comprised of an array of electronic elements. The circuit is formed solely by the successive deposition of materials on the substrate.

Abstract: A flat panel display has an image area that extends to one or more of the edges of the display. The display has a multilayered construction which includes a layer of x-coordinate busbars and a layer of y-coordinate busbars overlaying a substrate. A layer of optically active material responds to voltages applied to the busbars. The busbars and optically active material extend to one or more edges of the substrate. The driver circuit is connected to the busbars at one or more edges of the display through angled busbar extensions which overlap the the busbars and which extend for a short distance along the busbars. The extensions connect with driver circuitry located behind the image area. Portions of the busbar layers may be masked during depositing of overlaying layers to enable later formation of the busbar extensions or deposited material may be removed to expose portions of the busbars.

Abstract: An electrically pumped gas laser amplifier unit having a disc-like configuration in which light propagation is radially outward from the axis rather than along the axis. The input optical energy is distributed over a much smaller area than the output optical energy, i.e., the amplified beam, while still preserving the simplicity of parallel electrodes for pumping the laser medium. The system may thus be driven by a comparatively low optical energy input, while at the same time, owing to the large output area, large energies may be extracted while maintaining the energy per unit area below the threshold of gas breakdown.
