  • Publication number: 20110128260
    Abstract: A stacked display (20b) comprises superposed regions for changing between a reflective color state (R, G, B) and a transparent state, which regions form part of a˜bended substrate (20). The substrate (20) may comprise a sequence of portions (1-6) which forms regions having pre-defined color. Each portion (1-6) is electrically connected to a further portion in the sequence by interconnect regions (b?, c?, d?) which form an oversized loop between the regions (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) when the substrate (20) is bent. The regions (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) are filled with a suitable optoelectronic color material (R, G, B).

  • Publication number: 20080284955
    Abstract: A conformable, flexible or roll up display (100) includes a matrix display layer (115) including lines of sub-pixels (116). Each line has an associated color assigned to the line (132, 134, 136), and each line extends along a roll up or bend direction (140). A display effect layer (128) is formed on the matrix layer. A color filter layer (152) includes striped color filters (154) which extend in the roll up or bend direction. The striped color filters each include a filter color corresponding with the lines of sub-pixels in the matrix layer to address misalignment and color errors due to bending or rolling up the display. Methods for fabricating flexible displays are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20080278472
    Abstract: Display units (1) comprise selection circuitry (40) for selecting a line (41, 45, 49) during a period of a first duration. As a result, this period must be chosen equal to the duration to the smallest data pulse, and relatively high clock frequency is to be used for the selection circuitry (40). By introducing means (30, 60, 70, 80, 90) for supplying a data signal comprising a pulse of a second duration which is different from a first duration of a selection signal for selecting a line (41, 45, 49), now a data signal can be supplied to a pixel independently from the clock frequency of the selection circuitry (40). As a result, the selection circuitry (40) can be operated at a relatively low clock frequency, which reduces the power consumption. Preferably, the second duration is shorter than the first duration, and the means comprise common electrode circuitry (60), storage capacitor circuitry (70), and circuitry (80, 90) to be added to the selection circuitry (40) and the data circuitry (30).

  • Patent number: 6586894
    Abstract: Picture display device comprising a cathode ray tube whose display screen (10) is provided with index electrodes (20, 21) comprising elongated conducting elements disposed substantially parallel to an axis of symmetry (50) of the display screen (10). In operation, the magnetic field of the deflection system of the cathode ray tube induces unwanted crosstalk on said index electrodes (20, 21). By cross-connecting one end (30a) of a conducting element (31) of an index electrode (20) to the opposite side end (40a) of another conducting element (41) of said index electrode (20), said crosstalk on said index electrode (20) is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6462488
    Abstract: A shadowmaskless tracking cathode ray tube control circuit is described, comprising a control loop, which is coupled to a deflection unit of a shadowmaskless tracking cathode ray tube. The shadowmaskless tracking cathode ray tube control circuit further comprises a loop gain control means for compensating the loop gain of the control loop in dependence on the inverse value of the beam current in the shadowmaskless tracking cathode ray tube. The effect is that a constant loop gain is created, which is independent of the beam current.

  • Publication number: 20020121868
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a picture display device having a cathode ray tube (2), control means (50) for controlling the electron beam/beams of the cathode ray tube (2), an indexing element (12, 14) for determining whether the electron beam/beams impinges at the correct location, and a feedback system for providing the control means (50) with a signal generated by the indexing means (12,14). The feedback system comprises a level shifter (30) for transferring the signal from a high-voltage system (20) of the cathode ray tube and the indexing elements (12, 14) to a low-voltage system (22) of the control means (50). In order to provide the level shifter (30) with the capacity of transferring signals comprising high frequencies, the level shifter (30) is provided with an input stage (32a, 32b) arranged to decrease the input impedance of the level shifter (30).
