  • Patent number: 6911961
    Abstract: A method of making an improved color OLED display device, includes the steps of: identifying a plurality of different OLED materials having differing chromaticity coordinates, luminance stability over time, and luminance efficiency; calculating an estimate of display lifetime for a plurality of combinations of the different OLED materials used to produce a pixel having a white point with a defined chromaticity coordinate and luminance; and selecting the combination having the maximum lifetime.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 28, 2005
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Michael E. Miller, Andrew D. Arnold, Paul J. Kane, Michael J. Murdoch

  • Patent number: 5629769
    Abstract: A generalized grain ruler incorporating a plurality of uniform patches representing a range of granularities, each patch being a perceptually distinct representation of graininess spaced at perceptually uniform intervals and recorded in an increasing sequence of graininess. A method for producing a generalized grain ruler for the measurement, by comparison of, grain in a reference imaging system generated image, comprising, the steps of:a) generating a set of random numbers for each image component;b) filtering each set of random numbers to alter the Wiener spectrum to result in a filtered set of random numbers that look as if they were generated by the reference photographic system; andc) delivering the filtered set of random numbers to an output device that renders them into an image which is the generalized grain ruler.
