Abstract: Infrastructure electronics equipment incorporates infrastructure Local-Site Transports (LSTs). LSTs convey payload sampled signals over imperfect electromagnetic (EM) pathways whose physical properties are usually unknown when the equipment (e.g., Cameras, Displays, Set-Top Boxes) is manufactured. Prior LSTs hedge against EM pathway degradation in several ways: requiring high-quality cables (e.g., HDMI); restricting transmission distance, (e.g., HDMI); and/or reducing quality, via compression, to extend transmission distance somewhat (e.g., Ethernet). The subject of this disclosure is an infrastructure LST for sampled signals that causes the physical errors inevitably arising from propagation of sensory payloads over imperfect EM pathways to manifest in a perceptually benign manner, leveraging legacy infrastructure and reducing costs to achieve a favorable ratio of fidelity to transmission distance.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to lateral migration of particles in a totally internally reflective displays. In certain embodiments, the reflective image displays include partial and full walls to form partitions within the display. The walls mitigate diffusion and lateral migration or drift of electrophoretically mobile particles due to lateral electric fields at adjacent pixels. This improves image quality, bistability and long-term display performance.

Abstract: A textured surface on the inward side of the high refractive index transparent front sheet in a reflective image display may lead to a display with a wider viewing angle. The textured surface may be in a random or a patterned array and may comprise microstructures that exhibit total internal reflection and Fresnel reflections. Electrophoretically mobile particles of similar size to the microstructures may improve coverage on the front sheet and improve frustration of TIR leading to darker dark states.

Abstract: Conventional total internal reflection image displays consist of mobile particles of a single charge and capable of displaying information consisting of two different optical states. The reflective image display embodiments described herein comprises particles of different charge states and optical characteristics in combination with multi-electrode arrays. This may allow for displaying information consisting of at least three different optical states.

Abstract: A textured surface on the inward side of the high refractive index transparent front sheet in a reflective image display may lead to a display with a wider viewing angle. The textured surface may be in a random or a patterned array and may comprise microstructures that exhibit total internal reflection and Fresnel reflections. Electrophoretically mobile particles of similar size to the microstructures may improve coverage on the front sheet and improve frustration of TIR leading to darker dark states.

Abstract: Improvements and modifications are provided in the type of frustrated total internal reflection (TIR) systems described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,885,496; 6,891,658; 7,286,280; 7,760,417 and 8,040,591. The improvements and modifications include various methods to improve display operation of hemispherical beaded front plane TIR systems such as (a) inhibit or prevent the undesired non-uniform distribution and lateral migration of charged, electrophoretically mobile, TIR frustrating particles by encapsulating or tethering the particles to the beaded front plane surface; (b) inhibit or prevent the settling of the TIR frustrating particles such as modifying the viscosity of the low refractive index medium; and (c) inhibit or prevent the non-uniformity of the applied electric field during display operation such as using a conforming rear electrode.
