  • Patent number: 12158684
    Abstract: An electro-optic display comprising at least two separate layers of electro-optic material, with one of these layers being capable of displaying at least one optical state which cannot be displayed by the other layer. The display is driven by a single set of electrodes between which both layers are sandwiched, the two layers being controllable at least partially independently of one another. Another form of the invention uses three different types of particles within a single electrophoretic layer, with the three types of particles being arranged to shutter independently of one another.

  • Patent number: 10953636
    Abstract: A laminated plate includes first and second plates bonded to each other via an intermediate layer. The laminated plate includes a first main surface of the first plate opposite to the intermediate layer; a second main surface of the first plate and a third main surface being in contact with the intermediate layer; a fourth main surface of the second plate opposite to the intermediate layer. A thickness of the first plate is thicker than a thickness of the second plate. In a planar view, the laminated plate includes a peripheral region and an in-plane region. In a cross section orthogonal to an outer periphery of the laminated plate, a distance from an outermost periphery of the second plate to the first plate in a thickness direction with respect to the outermost periphery is three times or less a distance between the first and second plates in the in-plane region.

  • Patent number: 10079640
    Abstract: An optical communication system includes a free space optical transceiver within a housing to transmit and receive optical communication signals along an optical pathway through a window in the housing. Heating elements applied to the interior surface of the window substantially uniformly heat the window such that the window is kept free from condensation and ice without introducing significant distortions in the wavefront. Accordingly, the heating elements are designed and placed on the window such that the obscuration caused by the presence of the heating elements within the optical pathway and the wavefront distortion caused by temperature gradients within the cross-section of the window in the optical pathway cause less than 1 decibel (dB) in transmission loss as compared to the same system without the heating elements on the window.
