Abstract: Facilitating the display of an image in a display system comprising a display panel having sub-pixels, and a backlight having individually addressable colored light emitters configured to provide light to the sub-pixels. From received image data, sub-pixel color values corresponding to color values transmitted by respective ones of the sub-pixels for display of the image are determined. From the image data, backlight values corresponding to brightnesses of ones of the colored light emitters for display of the image are determined, as are a portion of the sub-pixel color values and a portion of the backlight values that collectively correspond to a saturated or near-saturated yellow color in the displayed image. The backlight values are adjusted by increasing an amount of yellow light to be emitted by emitters of the backlight, and the color values are adjusted by decreasing an amount of yellow light to be transmitted by the sub-pixels.

Abstract: A vacuum fluorescent printing device is disclosed having cathode filaments, a plurality of multiplexed control grids and a skewed matrix of addressable phosphor elements configured on an anode in such a fashion as to enable convenient electrical connection plus imagewise recombination of emitted light from said phosphor elements into a high resolution array for the purpose of directing this collection of addressable points of light onto a single line of a photoreceptor drum or belt thereby enabling a xerographic image to be generated. An equipotential screen grid is located between one of said plurality of grids and the anode in order to reduce voltage swings needed for cutoff of either grid for phosphor addressing purposes.

Abstract: An imaging method which is comprised of a spatially varying imagewise output intensity for a corresponding imaging input. An imaging member comprising between two electrodes a photoconductor in contact with an about 1 to about 6 micron thick layer of nematic liquid crystalline material, which in the absence of an electrical field is in the homogeneous texture, and having negative dielectric anisotropy is utilized. A d.c. voltage above the parallel variable grating mode threshold for the nematic liquid crystalline material is applied between the two electrodes of the imaging member and, while the voltage is applied, the photoconductor is exposed to imagewise configured actinic electromagnetic radiation from a first radiation source. The actinic radiation causes the voltage to increase across portions of the nematic liquid crystalline layer in electrical contact with regions of the photoconductor exposed to the actinic radiation.

Abstract: Bistable deflection of a beam of light into and out from a layer of nematic liquid crystalline material having negative dielectric anisotropy and having a thickness of from about 1 micron to about 6 microns is achieved by providing the nematic liquid crystalline material in the parallel variable grating mode between two electrodes, the nematic being under an applied voltage between the two electrodes at a voltage level above the threshold voltage level for parallel variable diffraction mode for said nematic liquid crystalline material, and increasing and decreasing the applied voltage so that light diffracted by the parallel variable grating mode nematic is deflected at an angle which either exceeds or is less than the critical angle between the layer of nematic liquid crystalline material and one of the electrodes.

Abstract: A novel projection imaging method. An imaging member is utilized comprising between two electrodes a negative photoconductor in contact with an about 1 to about 6 micron thick layer of nematic liquid crystalline material which, in the absence of an electrical field is provided in the homogeneous texture, and of negative dielectric anisotropy. A d.c. voltage above the parallel variable grating mode threshold for the nematic liquid crystalline material is applied between the two electrodes of the imaging member and the entire nematic layer goes into the parallel variable grating mode. While the voltage is applied, the negative photoconductor is exposed to imagewise configured actinic electromagnetic radiation and becomes more resistive in exposed areas. The actinic radiation causes the voltage to decrease across portions of the nematic liquid crystalline layer in contact with regions of the negative photoconductor exposed to the actinic radiation.
