Patent number: 7295278Abstract: A cholesteric display may be formed, in some embodiments, using a single display element to produce multi-colors for display. A cholesteric material may be sandwiched between a pair of substrates, each associated with a first pair of opposed electrodes that are arranged generally transversely to the optical axis of incident light. The first pair of electrodes produce one of two liquid crystal states and result in the reflection of light of a particular wavelength. Light of other wavelengths may be reflected when a second pair (or set) of opposed electrodes, arranged generally transversely to the first pair of electrodes, are biased appropriately. A color display may be generated from a single display element by modulating the pitch length of the cholesteric material.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2002Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: David B. Chung

Patent number: 6924870Abstract: A liquid crystal diffractive light valve includes: a pair of opposed substrates wherein one of the substrates is a silicon wafer with associated electronics. The other substrate has an electrode layer facing the silicon substrate. And a ultraviolet curable composite material is disposed between the substrates which is then phase separated to form polymer walls having liquid crystal directors fixed therein regardless of application of an electric field across the electrode layers, and wherein pixel regions are formed between the polymer walls. The pixel regions have liquid crystal directors which are movable when an electric field is applied across the electrode layers. Application of an electric field allows for generation of phase differences between the wall and pixel regions to allow for Liquid Crystal on Silicon devices to be used as diffractive light valves.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Kent State UniversityInventors: Bin Wang, Philip Bos, David B.

Patent number: 6774955Abstract: Liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) cells include a plurality of pixel elements formed between substrates. Spacers are formed on a portion of some of the pixel elements and positioned in the cell gap. The spacers on each of these LCOS cells reflecting different colors are formed in different locations in each cell. The result is that substantially none of the spacers create overlapping dead spots in a composite image. The spacers are further distributed among these pixel elements such that spacers are absent from some pixel elements and such that there is a substantially uniform thickness in the cell gaps. The reduced severity of the dead spots in the composite image as a result of the spacers in different locations, the reduced size and number of the spacers, and the uniformity in the cell gaps provide higher optical image quality.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2003Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David B. Chung, Michael Kozhukh, Sergei Rutman

Publication number: 20040125272Abstract: A flat panel display system includes a polymer memory provided thereon. The flat panel display may include a viewable portion and a non-viewable portion. In an embodiment, the polymer memory system may be provided on a non-viewable planar surface of the display. Owing to the large viewable area of many flat panel displays, it is expected that the polymer memory system can provide a large memory for a computer or other processor-based device without requiring any change in the device's form factor. Thus, such a system finds ready application in notebook computers, personal digital assistance and other mobile processor-based devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2002Publication date: July 1, 2004Inventors: David B.

Publication number: 20030176221Abstract: A generalized game device may be used as any or all of a game timing device, a game management device (e.g., scoring), and a game randomization device. Internal memory includes programming that allows user inputs of selectable parameters, such as time allowed and number of dice to be simulated. In one embodiment, the device is a “game tool” that features a display and various controls for setting the selectable parameters. The device includes an input/output arrangement to enable network connectivity with at least one peer device, so that timing operations of the peer devices are synchronized. In a second embodiment, the device is a “game tool hub” that is better suited for games requiring a “Master of Ceremonies.” Any of a number of game tools may be connected to the game tool hub, such as simple lock-in buttons and a “Master of Ceremonies” keypad.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2003Publication date: September 18, 2003Inventor: Andrew B.

Patent number: 6036882Abstract: The present invention provides an improved liquid crystal material comprising a liquid crystal material dispersed in a polymer matrix. The polymeric matrix can be a thermal-based system such as an epoxy-based thermal polymeric system or a UV-curable system such as an acrylate-based polymeric system. The polymeric matrix has a crosslinking density which minimizes the driving voltage while maintaining a good contrast ratio. A process using dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) testing identifies a T.sub.g and crosslinking density which are employed to determine the optimum degree of crosslinking.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1995Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: David B.
