Abstract: Methods and systems for improving imaging quality and power efficiency of scanning beam display systems using fluorescent screens are disclosed. In various embodiments, beam shaping mechanisms for maximizing overlap between the beam cross-section and the florescent element corresponding to each color sub-pixel of the screen, as well as pulse width and timing adjustments, are introduced to reduce imaging noise and improve power efficiency of the display system.

Abstract: Scanning beam display systems based on scanning light on a fluorescent screen. The screen can include fluorescent materials which emit visible light under excitation of the scanning light to form images with the emitted visible light. Multiple lasers can be used to simultaneously scan multiple laser beams to illuminate the screen for enhanced display brightness. For example, the multiple laser beams can illuminate one screen segment at a time and sequentially scan multiple screen segments to complete a full screen.

Abstract: An optical switch is presented. In a first state, a trench is filled with index matching fluid so that light from a first waveguide passes through the trench to a second waveguide. In a second state, a bubble is formed within the index matching fluid so that light from the first waveguide is reflected at the trench to a third waveguide. The bubble is formed by heat so that volume of the bubble is substantially less than total volume of the trench, resulting in pressure within the bubble not being substantially increased by pressure exerted by sidewalls of the trench.

Abstract: A pressure sensitive cursor control suitable for applications that include cellular phones and personal data assistants includes a pressure sensor array suitable to detect a human fingerprint. Cursor control is provided by subtle finger movement. Sequential images of the finger are captured and compared to determine planar movement or data entry. Performance may be improved by sampling zones within the captured image and comparing the zones with those in an earlier image. Performance could also be improved by subsampling the array. While the full resolution of the pressure-sensing array is needed to capture ones fingerprint and execute an authentication function only a subsampled image from the array is needed to derive meaningful navigation data. The pressure sensor array is designed on a glass substrate in order to drive down the unit cost.

Abstract: A method of bonding a transparent optical element to a light emitting device having a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region is provided. The method includes elevating a temperature of the optical element and the stack and applying a pressure to press the optical element and the stack together. In one embodiment, the method also includes disposing a layer of a transparent bonding material between the stack and the optical element. The bonding method can be applied to a premade optical element or to a block of optical element material which is later formed or shaped into an optical element such as a lens or an optical concentrator.
