  • Patent number: 8696082
    Abstract: Expansion effects of moisture on media resulting from ejection of fluid by the fluid-ejection device onto the media within a print zone in accordance with a portion of a print job are inferred. In response to inferring the expansion effects of moisture on the media, an action is performed to counteract the expansion effects of moisture on the media.

  • Patent number: 8670155
    Abstract: In an implementation, conversion of K-only data from a source CMYK color space to a destination CMYK color space is managed. The destination CMYK color space is transformed to a virtual RGB color space, in which a neutral axis of the virtual RGB color space is set to be mapped to destination K-only output colors in a color separation table for mapping of source K-only grays to destination K-only grays. The source CMYK color space is converted to a device independent color space and the conversion is adjusted such that the source K-only grays are forced to have the same chrominance as the neutral axis of the virtual RGB color space in the color separation table. The LUT is generated to include a K-only mapping by combining the virtual RGB color space with the adjusted conversion of the source K-only grays.

  • Publication number: 20120001842
    Abstract: A display includes a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel. The first sub-pixel includes a first electrokinetic display element and a first color filter over the first electrokinetic display element. The first electrokinetic display element includes a fluid with first colorants and second colorants. The second sub-pixel is laterally directly adjacent to the first sub-pixel. The second sub-pixel includes a second electrokinetic display element and a second color filter over the second electrokinetic display element. The second electrokinetic display element includes the fluid with the first colorants and the second colorants.

  • Patent number: 8036456
    Abstract: An image rendering method for masking a visual defect is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes determining a location of the visual defect, identifying a plurality of sub-pixels neighboring the visual defect and utilizing contrast sensitivity functions and visual masking characteristics of a human visual system to optimize adjustments to the plurality of neighboring sub-pixels to mask the visual defect.

  • Publication number: 20100090936
    Abstract: Devices, systems, mediums, and methods for providing a layered color display are disclosed. One method of displaying images includes configuring a reflective color display in a layered manner to display a first portion of an image in a lower layer and to display a second portion of an image in a number of upper layers by decoupling imaging functions of a number of upper layers of a reflective color display device from imaging functions of a lower layer of a reflective color device, driving the lower layer with an active matrix back plane thin film transistor (TFT), and addressing the number of upper layers passively.

  • Patent number: 7325912
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a reservoir for holding a fluid includes a housing defining an enclosed chamber, the housing having a first opening therein at one part of the chamber and a second opening therein at a second part of the chamber above the first part of the chamber, a breachable seal sealing the second opening, and a circuitous tunnel exposing the chamber to the atmosphere through the second opening if the seal is breached.

  • Publication number: 20080018577
    Abstract: A display element corresponds to a pixel of a display. The display element includes a top electrode connected to a first addressable line of the display, and a bottom electrode connected to a second addressable line of the display. The display element includes a display mechanism situated between the top electrode and the bottom electrode and having a number of individually turned-on steps. Each individually turned-on step has a turn-on voltage threshold at which the step is turned on upon a voltage applied between the top and the bottom electrodes equal to or greater than the turn-on voltage threshold. Each individually turned-on step has a turn-off voltage threshold at which the step is turned off upon a voltage applied between the top and the bottom electrodes equal to or less than the turn-off voltage threshold.

    Abstract: A display element corresponds to a pixel of a display. The display element includes a first electrode connected to a first addressable line of the display, and a number of second electrodes, each of which is connected to a corresponding second addressable line of the display. The display element includes a display mechanism situated between the first and the second electrodes, and which has a number of individually turned-on steps organized into a number of groups corresponding to the number of second electrodes. For each group of the individually turned-on steps, each step of the group has a turn-on voltage threshold at which the step is turned on upon a voltage applied between the first electrode and the second electrode to which the group corresponds that is equal to or greater than the turn-on voltage threshold.

  • Publication number: 20080018673
    Abstract: A display element corresponds to a display of a pixel. The display element includes a number of sub-pixel regions. Each sub-pixel region has two states, including an on state and an off state. Each sub-pixel region has an area. The display has a defined area that is turned on to provide maximum lightness and that encompasses at least one of the areas of the sub-pixel regions. The ratio of the area of each sub-pixel region to the defined area of the display element is selected to provide for the display element having a number of substantially equally spaced human visual system (HVS) perceived lightness levels.
