  • Publication number: 20070139766
    Abstract: A front projection screen and a projection system incorporating same are disclosed. The front projection screen includes a plurality of cholesteric liquid crystal layers and one or more retarder layers. Each cholesteric liquid crystal layer has a reflectance curve characterized by a reflectance peak and a reflectance full width at half maximum. The reflectance peaks of at least two cholesteric liquid crystal layers in the plurality of cholesteric liquid crystal layers are located at different wavelengths. A retardance full width at half maximum of a first retarder layer in the one or more retarder layers encloses the reflectance full width at half maxima of two or more cholesteric liquid crystal layers in the plurality of cholesteric liquid crystal layers.

  • Patent number: 6699597
    Abstract: In one method of making an organic electroluminescent device, a transfer layer is solution coated on a donor substrate. The transfer layer includes an amorphous, non-polymeric, organic matrix with a light emitting material disposed in the matrix. The transfer layer is then selectively patterned on a receptor. Examples of patterning methods include laser thermal transfer or thermal head transfer. The method and associated materials can be used to form, for example, organic electroluminescent devices.
