Abstract: A method activates the electron emission surface of a field emission display. After an un-activated cathode plate is manufactured, a protective layer is formed by coating a solvent to one face of the electron emission source layer. A coating is applied to the protective layer to form a covering layer on the surface of the electron emission source layer. The covering layer is cured and then a mold-releasing cylinder is used to release the dried film. The surface of the electron emission source layer can be uniformly activated. The electron emission source layer is then baked again to remove the remaining solvent.

Abstract: A tetraode field-emission display and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. A mesh is disposed between an anode plate and a cathode plate. The mesh has a gate layer and a converging electrode layer separated by an insulation layer to form a sandwich structure. The mesh has a plurality of apertures in correspondence with each set of anode and cathode. A glass plate is placed between the mesh and the anode to serve as a spacer. The converging electrode layer is facing the anode plate, such that the divergent range of an electron beam emitted by an electron emission source can be restricted. Thereby, the electron beam can impinge the corresponding anode more precisely.

Abstract: A block decoding method and apparatus capable of decoding and outputting data in a longitudinal direction, which scans a compressed datastream and accordingly obtains a start address in the compressed datastream for each MCUR of a decompressed image, such that the apparatus can obtain blocks rotated with 90 degrees by performing a Huffman decoding in a longitudinal direction, a de-zigzag arrangement, an inverse quantization, an IDCT and a rotation. Since the decoding direction is identical to the output direction of a printer, only a desired column of data in the decompressed image is temporarily stored for output and accordingly the required memory size is relatively reduced.

Abstract: A method and a structure for a converging-type electron-emission source of a field-emission display are disclosed. A substrate is provided, and a silver paste is used to form a first electrode layer on the substrate by the process such as thick-film photolithography or screen-printing.

When the electron beam is generated, the electron beam is concentrated at the center of the converging exit to impinge a phosphor layer of an anode without causing gamut.

Abstract: A structure of multi-wavelength light emitting device comprises multi-stacked active layer structure. Each stacked layer comprises lower energy bandgap well 4 and higher energy bandgap barrier layer 3 wherein at least one stacked layer in the device contains nanoparticles. As a result, the emitting wavelengths of the multi-stacked active layer structure consist parts (or all) of the emitting wavelengths come from the stack layers containing nanoparticles, and parts (or all) of the emitting wavelengths come from the stack layers not containing nanoparticles. In another embodiment, parts (or all) of the emitting wavelengths of the multi-stacked active layer structure can be also used to trigger one or more phosphorescences from the phosphors, thus the emitting wavelengths of such a phosphors converted light emitting device may come partially from the multi-stacked active layer itself and partially (or all) from the phosphors.

Abstract: A memory use and management method and system for a multi-pass printer. The system has a band buffer, a band buffer manager and a print engine. The band buffer receives and masks an input data, and stores masked data resulting from masking the input data. The band buffer manager is connected to the band buffer in order to start to print the masked data as the band buffer stores an amount of one complete print pass for a printhead of the printer. The print engine has the printhead and is connected to the band buffer such that the print engine receives the masked data from the band buffer and prints it by the printhead. Data amount stored in the band buffer can be represented by an equation, [(1+2+3+ . . . +j+j)/(i*j)]*S, where j indicates partitioned number of one complete print, and S indicates data amount required by one complete print.
