Patent number: 8259460Abstract: A submount for arranging electronic components on a substrate is provided. The submount comprises a head member and at least one substrate-engaging member protruding from the head member. The head member comprises at least two, from each other isolated, electrically conductive portions, where each electrically conductive portion comprises a component contact, adapted for connection of electronic components thereto, and a substrate contact on arranged on said substrate side, adapted for bringing said electrically conductive portions in contact with a circuitry comprised in said substrate. The submount of the present invention may be used to attach electronic components, such as light-emitting diodes, to a textile substrate, without the need for soldering the electronic component directly on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Rabin Bhattacharya, Pieter Jacob Snijder, Liesbeth Van Pieterson, Erich Zainzinger, Martijn Krans, Sima Asvadi, Alexander Ulrich Douglas, Jacqueline Van Driel, Martinus Jacobus Johannes Hack

Patent number: 7982379Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible display device (10) comprising a flexible substrate (12) having at least one light source (14) mounted thereon. The flexible display device is characterized by a flexible thermo regulating layer (20) provided on the opposite side of the substrate compared to the side with the at least one light source for dissipating heat from the remaining display device. This allows for stable operation and increased endurance of the display device. The present invention also relates to a textile product comprising such a flexible display device, and a method for the manufacturing of such a flexible display device.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Martijn Krans, Erich Zainzinger, Wouter Bastiaan Zeper, Thomas Schuler, Guido Theo Maria Lamerichs, Carla Andrea Parilo

Publication number: 20100226117Abstract: The present invention relates to a textile product (10) comprising an outer fabric (12) and a flexible light-emitting display (14) arranged behind the outer fabric, which flexible display has a diffusing element (20) being arranged to receive and diffuse light emitted from the flexible display. The textile product is characterized by a diffusing spacer fabric (20) arranged adjacent to the outer fabric so as to receive and further diffuse light emitted from the flexible display, which diffusing spacer fabric (22) is separate from the diffusing element (20). The diffusing spacer fabric acts as a second diffusing element, and allows for improved diffusing functionality. The present invention also relates to a method for the manufacturing of such a textile product, and a flexible light-emitting display adapted for use in a textile product.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2007Publication date: September 9, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Martijn Krans, Erich Zainzinger, Wouter Bastiaan Zeper, Thomas Schuler, Guido Theo Maria Lamerichs, Carla Andrea Parilo

Publication number: 20100115683Abstract: The present invention relates to a signage system (10) comprising: a plurality of textile products (12) each comprising a flexible display device (16). For controlling the displays (16), the system further comprises a central unit (14, 24) adapted to emit at least one control signal, each of which being a sound signal or a light signal. To this end, each textile product further comprises means (20, 26) for detecting the control signal(s) emitted by the central unit (14, 24), and means (18) linked to the detection means (20, 26) and display (16) for controlling the display (16) in accordance with the detected control signal(s). The present invention also relates to a method, central units and uses of such for controlling a plurality of flexible display devices each comprised in a textile product.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Martijn Krans, Anthonie Hendrik Bergman, Bartel Marinus Van De Sluis, Erich Zainzinger, Wouter Bastiaan Zeper, Guido Theo Maria Lamerichs, Thomas Schuler

Publication number: 20100050488Abstract: The present invention relates to a signage system (10) comprising a plurality of textile products (12), wherein each textile product comprises a flexible display device (14) adapted to show a display content forming part of a unified message. The system is characterized in that each flexible display device (14) further is adapted to show an indication of the position of the display content of the flexible display device in relation to the display contents of the other flexible display devices in the unified message, before showing the display content. The present invention also relates to a method for presenting a unified message by means of a plurality of flexible display devices (14) each comprised in a textile product (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2008Publication date: March 4, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Martijn Krans, Anthonie Hendrik Bergman, Bartel Marinus Van De Sluis, Erich Zainzinger, Wouter Bastiaan Zeper, Guido Theo Maria Lamerichs, Thomas Schuler
