Patents by Inventor Sylvain Naar

Sylvain Naar has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • High speed solid state optical display
    Publication number: 20020030439
    Abstract: A display device is disclosed including a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined configuration. Each pixel including a mirror element disposed over a flat surface. A light modulating material disposed over the mirror element for selectively modulating a predetermined wave length of light received from an external source by transitioning between a first and a second state. The light modulating material in the first state causes destructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light and in the second state causes constructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Michael Gurvitch, Maurice Halioua, Alexander Kastalsky, Sylvain Naar, Sergey Shokhor
  • Aerogel-based phase transition flat panel display
    Patent number: 6329748
    Abstract: A display device utilizes a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined configuration for recording and displaying information. Each pixel includes a substrate and a light modulating material for selectively modulating a predetermined wave length of light by transitoning between a first and a second state in response to a heater element. The light modulating material in the first state causes destructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light and in the second state causes constructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light. The pixel structure is buried within an aerogel thereby minimizing the heat dissipation rate from the pixels.
    Type: Grant
