Abstract: The integrated circuit (1) suppresses leakage currents, which usually take place between neighboring transistors (10, 20) through the unpatterned semiconductor layer (5). In its first layer (3), the circuit (10) comprises electrically conductive tracks (4) which are in contact with the semiconductor layer (5), some of which tracks (4) are in use as source and drain electrodes (14, 15, 24, 25) and are preferably fork-shaped and interdigitated. The suppression of leakage currents is achieved by putting neighboring electrodes (14, 24) in different transistors (10, 20) at the same voltage and by excluding the presence of any other electrically conductive tracks between those neighboring electrodes (14, 24). Interconnect lines (39) carrying input or output signals are positioned in a second layer (7) as much as possible, which second layer (7) comprises electrically conductive tracks (8) and is not in contact with the semiconductor layer (5).

Abstract: The display panel has a glass backplate (1) a first surface of which is provided with barrier ribs (3) of glass frit. Electrodes (5) are present between the ribs (3). A front member (10) rests on the barrier ribs (3) and is sealed to the backplate (1). The front member (10) has electrodes (11) which extend transversely to the ribs (3). The glass frit of the ribs (3) mainly consists of ZnO, B2O3 and V2O5 and has a minor content of SiO2, PbO and/or CuO, and BaO and are mechanically strong. The glass frit combines a relatively small thermal coefficient of expansion and a relatively low sintering temperature, which makes the frit particularly suitable for use with a backplate (1) of borate glass, particularly an alkali-free borosilicate glass.

Abstract: A system for coding video data comprised of one or more frames codes a portion of the video data using a frame-prediction coding technique, and generates residual images based on the video data and the coded video data. The system then codes the residual images using a fine-granular scalability coding technique, and outputs the coded video data and at least one of the coded residual images to a receiver.
