Abstract: The invention relates to a glass package (100) for sealing a device (120), to a system (110) comprising the glass package, a light source (210), a luminaire (200), a backlighting system (310), and to a display device (300). The glass package according to the invention comprises a first glass substrate (10), a second glass substrate (20), and a seal (30) sealing an interface between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate. The seal comprises a frit (30) comprising glass. A CTE of the frit is chosen to be at least 10% lower compared to the CTE of the first glass substrate and/or of the second glass substrate. An effect of the glass package according to the invention is that the difference between the CTE of the frit compared to the CTE of the first glass substrate and/or the second glass substrate enables to generate a gas-tight sealed glass package while using a glass-material as the first glass substrate and/or as the second glass substrate which has a relatively high CTE.

Abstract: A method for transferring an electronic component supported by a carrier to a desired position on a substrate include moving the carrier supporting the component relative to the substrate while the component is present on a side of the carrier facing towards the substrate, with the component is positioned opposite the desired position on the substrate. Then, a light beam is directed at the carrier, at the location of the component, from a side remote from the substrate, as a result of which a connection between the component and the carrier is broken and the component is transferred from the carrier to the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser projection system (1) having means for reducing the coherence of a generated laser beam (3) in order to reduce the occurrence of annoying speckle artifacts in images produced by the system. Coherence is reduced by letting the laser beam (3) pass through a transparent cell (6) comprising first (A) and second (B) immiscible fluids having different refractive indices. The fluids are displaced in the cell, preferably using an electrowetting technique. The cell (6) may thus be realized as an electrowetting lens, which is driven with a pseudo random driving signal.

Abstract: An electric lamp has a lamp vessel (1) and is provided with an illumination source (2). A central current-supply conductor (3) and a side current-supply conductor (4) issue from the lamp vessel. The electric lamp has a lamp base (5) for providing a mechanical connection of the lamp vessel and for providing a mechanical and electrical connection of the current-supply conductors. At a side facing the lamp vessel, the lamp base is provided with a notch (6) for passing through the side current-supply conductor. At a side facing away from the lamp base, the side current-supply conductor is provided with a coagulated droplet of material of the side current-supply conductor. Preferably, the coagulated droplet is made by laser heating of a portion of the side current-supply conductor issuing from the notch. According to the invention, the side current-supply conductor is reliably connected to the lamp base while soldering is dispensed with.
