  • Patent number: 6221543
    Abstract: An improved electronic display that includes components selected to enhance display performance. The improved display includes an active substrate that has a plurality of thin film transistors and a plurality of thermally transferred color filters that include a colorant in a crosslinked binder. The active substrate can also include a black matrix. Other components in the improved display such as a liquid crystal material, spacers, and bottom polarizer, can be selected to enhance display performance characteristics such as brightness, power consumption, response time, weight, and thickness. The invention also provides a method of forming a color filter substrate for displays including the steps of thermally mass transferring a plurality of color filters and crosslinking the plurality of color filters after transfer. Before the crosslinking step, the plurality of color filters can be inspected and removed for reworking of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5641601
    Abstract: An electrophotographic toner suitable for use in an image-forming apparatus employing an organic photoconductor is disclosed which comprises toner particles and, adherent to the surface thereof, magnetic particles having an FeO content of 17% by weight or lower, a specific surface area of from 2.5 to 6 m.sup.2 /g, and an octahedral or hexahedral particle shape. The toner functions to prevent toner components and paper dust from adhering to the surface of an organic photoconductor, and has satisfactory moisture resistance.
