  • Publication number: 20090021496
    Abstract: A voltage partitioned display (VPD) is presented that provides a flexible uniformly bright large area display panel that is easily scalable. The VPD of the invention can be variously shaped and, due to its flexibility, can be rolled to facilitate packaging and shipping. The VPD can comprise a single substrate tile or a plurality of substrate tiles and may include display elements of a variety of display technologies such as, but not limited to electroluminescent displays, plasma displays, liquid crystal displays, etc. The substrate tile of the VPD is voltage partitioned into display subportions so that the display elements within each display subportion receive substantially the same scanning voltage, thereby producing a uniformly bright display. Vias can extend from a front substrate surface to a rear substrate surface to provide electrical connectivity between display elements on the front surface and drive circuitry on the rear surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20080074046
    Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus, methods and systems for an electroluminescent (EL) display. An exemplary embodiment of an EL apparatus of the invention is in the form of an EL strip. The EL strip may comprise a Supportive Electrode Strip (SES) adapted to receive an EL stack, and an EL stack deposited thereon. The SES comprises a conductive substrate. The EL stack deposited on the SES to form an EL strip may include several layers. The EL strips may be grouped together to form an EL strip panel. The EL strips may also be electrically connected to form an EL panel and EL panels can be electrically connected to form an EL display. Methods for making and testing such systems and components are also disclosed.
