Abstract: A display screen, characterized in that the pixels of the image are generated by individual light-emitting capsules, said capsules constituting miniature cathodic tubes cold-cathode and being assembled in a matrix on a least one substrate of supple support, optionally transparent. The material emitting electrons of the capsules may be constituted by carbon nanotubes. The assembly of the capsules may be realized by forced insertion of the prefabricated capsules into a supple support, with or without previously cutting out placements of the capsules in the supports. Assembly of the capsules may likewise be done by moulding the prefabricated capsules in a supple support. Advantageously, the size of the capsules is optimized to ensure optimum matricial assembly of the pixels or correct balance of the non-printing areas, with for example a larger size for the capsules emitting its green light.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic device comprising a microphone, a loudspeaker, and a ringer, the device also comprising at least one inclination detector used for setting sound volume, the volume setting having at least two ranges, a first range (1) with a loud volume setting corresponding to circumstances in which the device is positioned horizontally and face-up, enabling it to operate in a hands-free mode, and a second range (2) with the volume set to low volume that is activated when the device departs from said horizontal position so as to operate in listener mode. Furthermore, the volume setting includes a third range defining a silent mode when the device is positioned horizontally and face-down.

Abstract: The invention relates to a telephony system whose users (11, 12, 13), being provided with a simplified fixed or mobile telephone terminal devoid of a screen and a keyboard, initiate a call by merely manipulating a handset, a button or a flap in order to be connected to an operator (14) accessing to a database (15) which provides said operator with references of the calling person and instructions, their telephone contacts list and their useful medical data. Said database is updated by subscribers or authorized third parties using the Internet, electronic mail or telephone. A simplified terminal is remotely programmed, in particular to define a number to call according to the availability of operators or to adjust the ringer volume according to the time, for example. The transfer to a desired contact can be carried out by the terminal itself, which receives from the operator an instruction indicating the number to call, for example by means of voice frequencies.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible display device, each image point of which comprises one or several cathodoluminescent capsules (11) that are individually sealed and are mounted on a flexible substrate (12, 13) by means of an automated process. The invention relates to the realm of flat screen displays including large-size screens typically having a diameter exceeding one meter. Such screens traditionally comprise a set of image elements or pixels which are organized in a matrix and are addressed by means of a network of conductors arranged in rows and a network of conductors arranged in columns. According to the invention, said display elements represent capsules (11) which constitute miniature cold cathode tubes comprising one capsule for each color point of each pixel, for example. Moreover, said capsules (11) are designed such that they can be assembled in an automatic manner and form a flexible screen without the need for the capsules (11) to be transferred onto a flexible substrate in a complex process.

Abstract: A display device comprising individual elements wherein the placement, on each element, of an electronic microcircuit capable of recognizing its address among those of other microcircuits connected in parallel to the common addressing electrodes, recording the brightness data sent to its address and modulating the brightness of its display element according to the data received.

Abstract: A method for regenerating a cathodoluminescent screen provided with at least one anode adapted to being excited by electron bombarding in a line scanning, consisting of providing regeneration phases during which the anode is at a quiescent potential, a portion only of the lines being addressable in a line scanning upon each regeneration phase, and cathodes being biased in a state corresponding to that of a preceding image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat display screen, comprising a cathode with electron emission microtips associated with a grid for extracting electrons from the microtips, the cathode/grid comprising conductive grid or cathode lines adapted to being sequentially addressed, and cathode or grid columns perpendicular to the lines and adapted to being addressed individually and simultaneously during the addressing of a line, and the screen comprising a return electrode adapted to being biased to a return potential corresponding to a no electron emission potential, each grid or cathode line being connected, via at least one resistive element, to the return electrode.

Abstract: An anode for flat display screens, of the type including at least one set of phosphor strips disposed over corresponding conductive strips and at least one interconnection conductor for the phosphor strips. Each conductive strip of each set is connected through a resistor to the associated interconnection conductor.
