  • Method for making a light-emitting panel
    Patent number: 6612889
    Abstract: An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components sandwiched between two substrates is disclosed. Each micro-component contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. An improved method of manufacturing a light-emitting panel is also disclosed, which uses a web fabrication process to manufacturing light-emitting displays as part of a high-speed, continuous inline process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2003
    Assignee: Science Applications International Corporation
    Inventors: Albert Myron Green, Adam Thomas Drobot, Edward Victor George, Roger Laverne Johnson, Newell Convers Wyeth
