  • Patent number: 8870617
    Abstract: Multiple colors of light emitted by an assembled light emitting diode (LED) based illumination device is automatically tuned to within a predefined tolerance of multiple target color points by modifying portions of wavelength converting materials associated with each color. A first color of light emitted from the assembled LED based illumination device in response to a first current is measured and a second color of light emitted from the assembled LED based illumination device in response to a second current is measured. A material modification plan to modify wavelength converting materials is determined based at least in part on the measured colors of light and desired colors of light to be emitted. The wavelength converting materials may be selectively modified in accordance with the material modification plan so that the assembled LED based illumination device emits colors of light that are within a predetermined tolerance of target color points.

  • Patent number: 8864542
    Abstract: A method of forming a microplasma device places a curable polymer material between a mold having a negative volume impression of microcavities and/or microchannels and a substrate. The polymer is cured and then the mold is separated from the solid polymer. The method can form a microplasma device that includes a substrate and either or both of a microchannel or microcavity defined in a polymer layer supported by the substrate. Electrodes arranged with respect to the polymer material can excite plasma in a discharge medium contained in the microchannel or the microcavity or both. A flexible mold is preferably used to fabricate transparent polymer microcavities onto rigid substrates. A rigid mold is preferably used to fabricate transparent polymer microcavities onto flexible substrates. Having one of the mold and the substrate flexible and the other rigid aids in the separation of the mold from the cured polymer.

  • Patent number: 8863553
    Abstract: A glass layer 3 is disposed between a glass member 4 and a thermal conductor 7 along a region to be fused. The glass layer 3 is formed by removing an organic solvent and a binder from the paste layer while using the thermal conductor 7 as a hotplate. Then, a laser beam L1 is emitted while using the thermal conductor 7 as a heatsink, so as to melt the glass layer 3, thereby burning and fixing the glass layer 3 onto the glass member 4. Thereafter, another glass member is overlaid on the glass member 4 having the glass layer 3 burned thereonto, such that the glass layer 3 is interposed therebetween. Then, the region to be fused is irradiated therealong with a laser beam, so as to fuse the glass members together.

  • Patent number: 8864541
    Abstract: Pre-manufactured electronic displays and, in particular, liquid crystal flat-panel displays, may be cut to a new size and resealed while preserving their originally-manufactured properties. A display may be cut, and the exposed edge of a target portion may be sealed, e.g., to preserve the integrity of the target portion of the display. It may be desirable to cause a sealant to go in between the plates of the panel, e.g., to achieve improved yield, chemical isolation, dimensional integrity, and/or strength of the seal. Apparatus and methods are disclosed where the sealant is injected or otherwise forced into the region between the plates adjacent the exposed edge. This sealing process may achieve more sealant surface contact area inside the panel in between the plates, e.g., to achieve better bonding strength, chemical isolation, and/or improved yield.

  • Patent number: 8858287
    Abstract: A sealing substrate is arranged to oppositely face an element substrate on which organic EL layers are formed in a matrix array with a sealing material sandwiched therebetween. A gel-state desiccant is filled in an inner space surrounded by the element substrate, the sealing substrate and the sealing material. Since the gel-state desiccant is in a gel state, the gel-state desiccant is flexibly filled in the inner space of the organic EL display device thus completely eliminating a gap. Since the inner space is filled with the gel-state desiccant, moisture hardly intrudes into the inner space from the outside and, at the same time, a mechanical strength of the organic EL display device is also enhanced.
