20140117387 | PHOSPHOR LAYER CONTAINING TRANSPARENT PARTICLES OVER BLUE LED - LED dies are suspended in an ink and printed on a first support substrate to form a light emitting layer having a light emitting surface emitting primary light, such as blue light. A mixture of a transparent binder, phosphor powder, and transparent glass beads is formed as an ink and printed over the light emitting surface. The mixture forms a wavelength conversion layer when cured. The beads are preferably sized so that the tops of the beads protrude completely through the conversion layer. Some of the primary light passes through the beads with virtually no attenuation or backscattering, and some of the primary light is converted by the phosphor to secondary light. The combination of the secondary light and the primary light passing though the beads may form white light. The overall color is highly controllable by controlling the percentage weight of the beads. | 05-01-2014 |

20150069431 | FOLDED 3-D LIGHT SHEETS CONTAINING PRINTED LEDS - A method of forming a light sheet includes printing a layer of inorganic LEDs on a first conductive surface of a substrate, depositing a first dielectric layer, and depositing a second conductor layer over the LEDs so that the LEDs are connected in parallel. At least one of the first conductive surface or the second conductor layer is transparent to allow light to escape. A phosphor layer may be formed over the light sheet so that the LED light mixed with the phosphor light creates white light. The flat light sheet is then folded, such as by molding, to form a three-dimensional structure with angled light emitting walls and reflective surfaces to control a directionality of the emitted light and improve the mixing of light. The folds may form rows of angled walls or polygons. | 03-12-2015 |

20140254828 | System and Method for Personalization of an Audio Equalizer - The invention is directed to synthesizing a personalized audio equalization filter based on an individual's hearing profile when listening to audio signals using a preferred electronic means of transduction and production of the audio signals through headphones, earphones, or loudspeakers and is presented in two steps. In the first step, the deviation of the listener's hearing profile, when the preferred listening device is donned, is measured and recorded relative to predetermined equal-loudness contours (e.g., ISO standard equal-loudness contours). The hearing profile is used to compute an equalization filter such that when the audio signal to be reproduced is played through the filter, the equal-loudness contour for a specified phon level is restored. Thus, the invention compensates for deviations of the user's listening device, the user's own hearing profile from a standard hearing profile that represents natural hearing, and other factors. The equalization filter can be adapted to any phon level through adaptation of filter coefficients as a function of the volume of the listening level. | 09-11-2014 |

20130153027 | FORMING GRADED INDEX LENS IN AN ALL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE PRINTING PROCESS TO FORM PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS - A PV panel uses an array of small silicon sphere diodes (10-300 microns in diameter) connected in parallel. The spheres are embedded in an uncured aluminum-containing layer, and the aluminum-containing layer is heated to anneal the aluminum-containing layer as well as p-dope the bottom surface of the spheres. A phosphorus-containing layer is deposited over the spheres to dope the top surface n-type, forming a pn junction. The phosphorus layer is then removed. A conductor is deposited to contact the top surface. Alternatively, the spheres are deposited with a p-type core and an n-type outer shell. After deposition, the top surface is etched to expose the core. A first conductor layer contacts the bottom surface, and a second conductor layer contacts the exposed core. A liquid lens material is deposited over the rounded top surface of the spheres and cured to provide conformal lenses designed to increase the PV panel efficiency. | 06-20-2013 |

20140117387 | PHOSPHOR LAYER CONTAINING TRANSPARENT PARTICLES OVER BLUE LED - LED dies are suspended in an ink and printed on a first support substrate to form a light emitting layer having a light emitting surface emitting primary light, such as blue light. A mixture of a transparent binder, phosphor powder, and transparent glass beads is formed as an ink and printed over the light emitting surface. The mixture forms a wavelength conversion layer when cured. The beads are preferably sized so that the tops of the beads protrude completely through the conversion layer. Some of the primary light passes through the beads with virtually no attenuation or backscattering, and some of the primary light is converted by the phosphor to secondary light. The combination of the secondary light and the primary light passing though the beads may form white light. The overall color is highly controllable by controlling the percentage weight of the beads. | 05-01-2014 |

20140138846 | CONDUCTIVE INK FOR FILLING VIAS - Vias (holes) are formed in a wafer or a dielectric layer. A low viscosity conductive ink, containing microscopic metal particles, is deposited over the top surface of the wafer to cover the vias. An external force is applied to urge the ink into the vias, including an electrical force, a magnetic force, a centrifugal force, a vacuum, or a suction force for outgassing the air in the vias. Any remaining ink on the surface is removed by a squeegee, spinning, an air knife, or removal of an underlying photoresist layer. The ink in the vias is heated to evaporate the liquid and sinter the remaining metal particles to form a conductive path in the vias. The resulting wafer may be bonded to one or more other wafers and singulated to form a 3-D module. | 05-22-2014 |

20140198373 | REFLECTIVE COLOR DISPLAY - A reflective color display is disclosed. A substrate supports a first conductor layer and pixel wells. A piezoelectric segment is formed in each pixel well over the first conductor layer. A second conductor layer overlies the piezoelectric segments, wherein an electric field created across any piezoelectric segment causes the piezoelectric segment to expand or contract under control of the electric field. A Bragg reflector segment overlies each piezoelectric segment and is compressible by expansion of the underlying piezoelectric segment. A white light LED layer overlies the Bragg reflector segments. By varying the electric field across each piezoelectric segment, the overlying Bragg reflector segment is controlled to reflect a selected wavelength for each pixel of the display. The walls of the pixel wells provide acoustic isolation between adjacent pixel wells. An acoustic membrane isolates the Bragg reflector segment from high frequency vibrations of the piezoelectric segment. | 07-17-2014 |
20140203316 | YELLOW PHOSPHOR LAYER CONTAINING COLORED BEADS FOR ADJUSTING ITS PERCEIVED OFF-STATE COLOR - LED dies, emitting blue light, are provided on a first support substrate to form a light emitting layer. A mixture of a transparent binder, yellow phosphor powder, magenta-colored glass beads, and cyan-colored glass beads is printed over the light emitting surface. The mixture forms a wavelength conversion layer when cured. The beads are sized so that the tops of the beads protrude completely through the conversion layer. When the LED dies are on, the combination of the yellow phosphor light and the blue LED light creates white light. When the LEDs are off, white ambient light, such as sunlight, causes the conversion layer to appear to be a mixture of yellow light, magenta light, and cyan light. The percentage of the magenta and cyan beads in the mixture is selected to create a desired off-state color, such as a neutral color, of the conversion layer for aesthetic purposes. | 07-24-2014 |
