Abstract: A color liquid crystal display device has an array of display pixels ( 10 ) for modulating input light and an array of associated color filter elements ( 40 ) which comprise electro-optic filtering elements switchable electrically between a color filtering state in which a required color output is produced and a state in which they are substantially transparent to the input light. Such switching can be used beneficially, for example to reduce power consumption by sacrificing full color output and allowing the brightness level of a back light to be decreased in view of the increased optical efficiency of the pixels when the filter elements are in their transparent state, or to improve viewability in the case of a reflective display used in poor ambient lighting.

Abstract: A method and system (10) for fast on-line electro-optical detection of wafer defects featuring illuminating with a short light pulse from a repetitively pulsed laser (32), a field of view (24) of an electro-optical camera system (26,18,28,30) having microscopy optics (42,44,46), and imaging a moving wafer (12), on to a focal plane assembly (30) optically forming a surface of photodetecors at the focal plane of the optical imaging system (18), formed from six detector ensembles, each ensemble including an array of four two-dimensional CCD matrix photo-detectors, whereby each two-dimensional CCD matrix photo-detector produces an electronic image of a large matrix of two million pixels, such that the simultaneously created images from the different CCD matrix detectors are processed in parallel using conventional image processing techniques, for comparing the imaged field of view (24) with another field of view (24) serving as a reference, in order to find differences in corresponding pixels, indicative of the presence of a wafer die defect. The continuously moving wafer (12) is illuminated by a laser pulse of duration, for example, ten nanoseconds, significantly shorter than the pixel dwell time, that there is effectively no image smear during the wafer motion. The laser pulse has sufficient energy and brightness to impart the necessary illumination to each sequentially inspected field of view (24) required for creating an image of the inspected wafer die (14). Parallel processing of a focal plane assembly (30) including twenty-four CCD matrix photo-detectors provides an overall pixell processing data rate of nearly 1.5 giga-pixels per second. The wafer inspection system (10) operates essentially at 100% efficiency, whereby, the laser pulse rate of 30 pulses per second is synchronized with the frame speed of 30 frames per second of each CCD matrix photo-detector, and the wafer (14) is moved at a linear speed such that the distance between successive fields of view (24) is covered in 1/30 of a second. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and method for delivering repetitive, precision, low volume liquid dispensing from a dispensing orifice of a non-contact liquid dispensing apparatus. An elongated communication passageway of the dispensing apparatus is defined by interior walls having one end in fluid communication with a system fluid reservoir and an opposite end terminating at the dispensing orifice. A system fluid is placed in the communication passageway extending substantially continuously from the system fluid reservoir to the dispensing orifice. The system fluid reservoir is pressurized at a substantially constant back pressure, with a pressurizing gas, preferably helium, that suppresses in-gassing, and that is substantially insoluble to the system liquid. A dispensing liquid is aspirated through the dispensing orifice and into the communication passageway substantially to an interface region with the system fluid contained in the communication passageway. To effect dispensing, a rapid pressure pulse with a predetermined pulse width is applied to the system fluid, enabling substantially accurate, relatively small volume, non-contact liquid dispensing of the dispensing liquid from the dispensing orifice.
