Applying counter component to the film component after dispensing sealant material onto one or more of the components in areas around each active area of the array, and after dispensing one or more drops of LC material onto one or more of the components in each active area of the array. The components are pressed together to spread the drops of LC material over the active areas so the sealant material for each LC cell interfaces with the LC material for the respective LC cell. Each deposition area has an inner perimeter, which is controllably varied across the array to compensate for variations in one or more properties of the spacer structures across the array.

Abstract

A method updates an image displayed on an electronic display. The image can include a first region having multiple lines and a second region also having multiple lines. The method includes driving the pixels of the first and second regions according to one or more frames. In a first frame, driving the pixels of the first and second regions is done by scanning the lines of the regions from a first end of the first region to a second end of the second region, the second end opposite the first end along a scanning direction. In a second frame, driving the pixels of the first and second regions is done by scanning the lines of the regions from the first end to the second end, and the scanning begins before the scanning according to the first frame reaches the second end.

Abstract

A process of forming an electronic device, by forming the source and drain contacts using photolithography, incorporating a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) over the electrical contacts to form an increased work function of the source and drain electrodes and further forming more favorable charge injection properties or within the channel region to improve film morphology and therefore improve charge transport. The SAM material is added to the photoresist stripper during a step of the photolithography process of forming electrical contacts.

Abstract

A technique for isolating electrodes on different layers of a multilayer electronic device across an array containing more than 100000 devices on a plastic substrate. The technique comprises depositing a bilayer of a first dielectric layer (6) of a solution-processible polymer dielectric and a layer of parylene (9) to isolate layers of conductor or semiconductor on different levels of the device. The density of defects located in the active area of one of the multilayer electronic devices is typically more than 1 in 100000.
