The detachable front panel may be removed from the display device for cleaning and ease of use.

Abstract: Systems and apparatus for a touch sensitive display device are disclosed. The display device may include a detachable transparent front panel which overlays a display panel. The detachable transparent front panel may be held against the display panel and a plurality of pressure sensors by a series of magnets. This allows the front panel to act as an interactive touch display system. By having a detachable transparent front panel, the touch sensitive display device may be placed in messy environments, such as a kitchen. A user can then remove and wash the detachable transparent front panel without harming any electronic components.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, apparatus, and computer readable media to control a user interface on a remote control. A first device command may be received from a remote control. This device command may cause the device to leave a first functional mode and enter a second functional mode. A first remote control command may then be sent to the remote control, with the first remote control command identifying a first remote control user interface to be displayed. The user interface may be operative to control features of the device unique to the second functional mode.

Abstract: Multilayer polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) are demonstrated using semiconducting polymers blended with organometallic emitters as the emissive layer and one or both of an electron transport layer and a hole transparent layer on the appropriate electron injection and hole injection sides of the emissive layer. The transport layers reduce energy potential gaps between the hole injection electrode and the emissive polymer and between the electron injection electrode and the emissive polymer. A solvent-processing based procedure for preparing these devices is also disclosed It uses nonpolar solvent-based solutions of emissive polymers to form the emissive layer and polar solvent-based solutions to form the transport layers to minimize etching and other undesirable interactions as the multiple layers are being laid down.

Abstract: A neutron detector, or array of neutron detectors, and method for fabricating same, having active region comprised of inorganic materials such as semiconductors and/or small particles and/or molecules. The detector active region is comprised of a layer or multi-layer heterojunction structure such as p-n junction wherein at least one layer comprises a composite of host semiconductor material in which neutron sensitizing guest material is distributed in all directions throughout the host semiconductor. This composite layer contains neutron capturing atoms such as 10B, 6Li, 157Gd, 235U, 239Pu, 51V , and 103Rh. The semiconductor host and other semiconductor layers transports carriers excited as a result of neutron absorption in the detector active region.

Abstract: White light-emitting electrophosphorescent polymeric light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) are demonstrated using semiconducting polymers blended with organometallic emitters as emissive materials in a common region. These materials may be cast from solution. The CIE coordinates, the color temperatures and the color rendering indices of the white emission are insensitive to the brightness, applied voltage and applied current density.

Abstract: Organic FETs are produced having high mobilities in the accumulation mode and in the depletion mode. Significantly higher mobility is obtained from FETs in which RR-P3HT film is applied by dip-coating to a thickness of only about 20 ? to 1 ?m. It was found that the structural order of the semiconducting polymer at the interface between the semiconducting polymer and the SiO2 gate-insulator is important for achieving high carrier mobility. Heat-treatment under an inert atmosphere also was found to increase the on/off ratio of the FET.
