The instant invention relates to improvements in the control (addressing and alignment) grid for Solar Energy Concentrators; and similar equipment such as Optical Switches [e.g. cf. M. Rabinowitz U.S. Pat. No. 6,976,445]; and Display devices such as Dynamic Reflection, Illumination, and Projection equipment [e.g. cf. M. Rabinowitz U.S. Pat. No. 7,130,102]; as well as display equipment in general. The control grid acts to address and align active optical elements such as mirrored balls, multipainted balls, electrophoretic, and magnetophoretic cells in solar concentrators [e.g. cf. M. Rabinowitz U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,133,183 and 6,843,573]; and in other equipment. Methods of fabricating the grids are also described. | 02-12-2009 |

20150382475 | PREPARATION METHOD OF PATTERNED FILM, DISPLAY SUBSTRATE AND DISPLAY DEVICE - Embodiments of the present invention provide a preparation method of a patterned film, a display substrate and a display device, avoiding falling off of a film layer occurring in the process of peeling off a photoresist layer. The preparation method of the patterned film comprises: forming a preset film layer on a surface of a preset substrate; covering the preset film layer with an isolation layer; forming a photoresist layer on a surface of the isolation layer and forming a pattern of the isolation layer with a patterning process; then removing the preset film layer which is not covered by the pattern of the isolation layer, peeling off the photoresist layer and removing the remaining, isolation layer to form a pattern of the preset film layer. | 12-31-2015 |
20160044777 | TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE LAMINATE, TRANSPARENT ELECTRODE INCLUDING TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE LAMINATE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE LAMINATE - Provided are a transparent conductive laminate, a transparent electrode including the transparent conductive laminate, and a manufacturing method for the transparent conductive laminate. | 02-11-2016 |
20160128187 | FLEXIBLE AND TRANSPARENT ELECTRODE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - The present invention relates to a flexible and transparent electrode and manufacturing method thereof. The flexible transparent electrode comprises an insoluble polyimide film as a substrate and metal nanowires as a conductor, wherein the insoluble polyimide film is polymerized by aromatic diamines and alicyclic diamines of thermal imidization. In addition, the coating method of polyimides of the present invention not only improves the adhesion and dispersion between metal nanowires and substrate, but also exhibits good thermal stability; moreover, the transparent electrode keeps the effectiveness even in high temperature processing conditions such as annealing, laser, plasma or other severe operation environment. Using the step transfer printing method can produces the transparent electrode product with smooth surfaces, thermo stability, and organic solvent resistance, so as to improve the adhesion of metal nanowires and lower the resistance of the transparent electrode. | 05-05-2016 |
20160192484 | NANOTUBE DISPERSANTS AND DISPERSANT FREE NANOTUBE FILMS THEREFROM - A degradable polymeric nanotube (NT) dispersant comprises a multiplicity of NT associative groups that are connected to a polymer backbone by a linking group where there are cleavable groups within the polymer backbone and/or the linking groups such that on a directed change of conditions, bond breaking of the cleavable groups results in residues from the degradable polymeric NT dispersant in a manner where the associative groups are uncoupled from other associative groups, rendering the associative groups monomelic in nature. The degradable polymeric nanotube (NT) dispersant can be combined with carbon NTs to form a NT dispersion that can be deposited to form a NT film, or other structure, by air brushing, electrostatic spraying, ultrasonic spraying, ink-jet printing, roll-to-roll coating, or dip coating. The deposition can render a NT film that is of a uniform thickness or is patterned with various thicknesses. Upon deposition of the film, the degradable polymeric nanotube (NT) dispersant can be cleaved and the cleavage residues removed from the film to yield a film where contact between NTs is unencumbered by dispersants, resulting in highly conductive NT films. | 06-30-2016 |
