Patents by Inventor Annie Tsai

Annie Tsai 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).

  • Backplanes with hexagonal and triangular electrodes
    Patent number: 11353759
    Abstract: Active matrix backplanes including an array of hexagonal electrodes or an array of triangular electrodes. Because the backplane designs route the gate lines along the periphery of the electrodes there is less cross talk with the surface of the electrode. The disclosed designs simplify construction and control of the electrodes and improve the regularity of the electric field above the electrode. Such backplane electrode designs may be particularly useful in electrowetting on dielectric (EWoD) devices and electrophoretic displays (EPD).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2022
    Assignee: Nuclera Nucleics Ltd.
    Inventors: Annie Tsai, Ian French, Cristina Visani, David Zhitomirsky, Richard J. Paolini, Jr.
