  • Liquid crystal display having adhered circuit tiles
    Patent number: 5539550
    Abstract: Circuit modules including complex multi-function circuitry on common module substrates using circuit tiles of silicon thin-films which are transferred, interconnected and packaged. The modules include integrated transfer/interconnects with extremely high density and complexity with large-area active-matrix liquid crystal displays and on-board drivers and logic in glass-based modules.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 23, 1996
    Assignee: Kopin Corporation
    Inventors: Mark B. Spitzer, Jack P. Salerno, Jeffrey Jacobsen, Brenda Dingle, Duy-Phach Vu, Paul M. Zavracky
  • Single crystal silicon transistors for display panels
    Patent number: 5528397
    Abstract: A display panel is formed using essentially single crystal thin-film material that is transferred to substrates for display fabrication. Pixel arrays form light valves or switches that can be fabricated with control electronics in the thin-film material prior to transfer. The resulting circuit panel is then incorporated into a display panel with a light emitting or liquid crystal material to provide the desired display.

  • Single crystal silicon arrayed devices for projection displays
    Patent number: 5444557
    Abstract: A display panel is formed using a single crystal thin-film transistors that are transferred to substrates for display fabrication. Pixel arrays form light valves or switches that can be fabricated with color filter elements over the pixel elements. The resulting circuit panel is then incorporated into a color projection display system with a light emitting or liquid crystal material to provide the desired light valve.

  • Eye tracking system having an array of photodetectors aligned respectively with an array of pixels
    Patent number: 5331149
    Abstract: An eye tracking system is disclosed which is comprised of an eye tracking module formed of a display joined to a photodetector array. Each pixel in the display is aligned with a corresponding photodetector. An image generated by the display is projected onto a viewing screen or toward a viewer. Axial light rays from the display pixels are reflected by the eye and detected by a respective photodetector which generates an electrical signal indicative of eye position.
