Abstract: Patterns such as micro-patterns can be created on a surface using a resonant microcavity phosphor display, such as may be used with a cathode ray tube (RMP-CRT). An image can be processed by an image processor as a series of signals and provided to the resonant microcavity phosphor display or RMP-CRT, such as through a control box or control panel. The RMP-CRT scans an electron beam over a photo-sensitive material according to the series of signals. This electron beam can expose any photosensitive material on the surface so as to create a pattern or representation of the image in the photo-sensitive material. This process can be used in applications such as offset printing, as well as printing circuit board components, photoresist-covered substrates, photosensitive biological molecules, photosensitive chemical compounds, bioanalysis chips, and ink-sensitive plates.

Abstract: A resonant microcavity display comprises a thin-film resonant microcavity (20, 50, 60) with an active layer (21). The microcavity (20, 50, 60) comprises a front reflector (22, 52), the active region (21) deposited upon the front reflector, and a back reflector (20, 54) deposited upon the active region (21). The display preferentially emits light that propagates along the axis (27) perpendicular to the plane of the display, due to its quantum mechanical properties. The extrinsic efficiency of this device is increased by the use of thin film construction with anomalous phase dispersion.

Abstract: A resonant microcavity display, comprising a thin-film resonant microcavity with a phosphor active region is disclosed. The microcavity comprises: a rigid substrate; a front reflector disposed upon the rigid substrate; a phosphor active region disposed upon the front reflector; and a back reflector disposed upon the active region. The display preferentially emits light that propagates along the axis perpendicular to plane of the display, due to its quantum mechanical properties. It exhibits high external efficiency, highly controllable chromaticity, high resolution, highly directional output and highly efficient heat transfer characteristics. For these reasons it provides a suitable display element for projection screen television, high definition television, direct view television, flat panel displays, optical coupling, and other applications.
