  • Publication number: 20010010884
    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: 5268521
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a catalyst for especially for selective hydrogenation among a carbon-carbon double bond, a carbonyl group and an aromatic unsaturated ring such as benzene. The catalyst comprising platinum and zeolite can be employed for selectively hydrogenating the carbon-carbon double bond and the carbonyl group of an organic compound without the hydrogenation of the aromatic unsaturated. The catalyst comprising the platinum supported on a support which comprises powders of an inorganic component to which is supported polyethylene glycol or an ethylvinylbenzene-divinylbenzene copolymer can be employed for selectively hydrogenating the carbon-carbon double bond of an organic compound without the hydrogenation of the carbonyl group and the aromatic unsaturated ring.
