Patent number: 10684543Abstract: A projection screen for displaying an image is disclosed. The projection screen may comprise an electrode, a plurality of cavities, an upper and lower substrate, and a hydrophobic liquid. The electrode may be disposed on a lower substrate. The hydrophobic liquid may be disposed between the upper substrate and lower substrate. The plurality of cavities may be disposed between the upper and the lower substrates. The projection screen may be associated with the electrode. The projection screen may be configured such that an application of an appropriate voltage to the electrode changes optical properties of the projection screen. Optical properties of the projection screen may comprise transparent and opaque states. Modulation between transparent and opaque states may be in such speed that a viewer sees the projection of a projector on the projection screen in the opaque state as well as sees through the projection screen in the transparent state with no perceived interruptions.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventor: Timothy James Orsley

Patent number: 10158057Abstract: Packaged chip-on-board (COB) LED arrays are provided where a color conversion medium is distributed within a glass containment plate, rather than silicone, to reduce the operating temperature of the color conversion medium and avoid damage while increasing light output. A lighting device is provided comprising a chip-on-board (COB) light emitting diode (LED) light source, a light source encapsulant, a distributed color conversion medium, and a glass containment plate. The COB LED light source comprises a thermal heat sink framework and at least one LED and defines a light source encapsulant cavity in which the light source encapsulant is distributed over the LED. The glass containment plate is positioned over the light source encapsulant cavity and contains the distributed color conversion medium. The light source encapsulant is distributed over the LED at a thickness that is sufficient to encapsulate the LED and define encapsulant thermal conduction paths.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Timothy James Orsley, William Richard Trutna, Nicholas Francis Borrelli, Lisa Ann Lamberson, Robert Michael Morena

Patent number: 9562388Abstract: Methods of forming polarized panes for variable transmission windows are disclosed. The polarized panes are formed from transparent substrates that are brushed with a brushing pattern that varies continuously in a select direction over each of one or more periods. A layer of polarizable material such as POLARCOAT material can be deposited on and responds to the brushed surface by forming a polarization pattern that substantially matches the brushing pattern and thus also includes one or more periods.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2013Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventor: Timothy James Orsley

Patent number: 9560812Abstract: Solar-redshift systems comprise an integral array of redshift modules, each having at least a focusing device, a target, and a quantum-dot vessel. The quantum-dot vessel contains quantum dots that emit light having an emission wavelength. The focusing device directs incident solar radiation through a focusing gap and toward the quantum-dot vessel, or into a slab waveguide and then toward the quantum-dot vessel, causing the quantum dots to emit redshifted light having the emission wavelength. The redshifted light is directed to the target, examples of which include a photovoltaic material or a living photosynthetic organism. The target has increased sensitivity or response to photons having the wavelength of the redshifted light. A trapping reflector component of the quantum-dot vessel prevents loss of redshifted light to the environment outside the solar-redshift system and allows undesirable infrared light to be removed from the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventor: Timothy James Orsley
