A method of electrophoretic movement of particles through a liquid crystal utilizes a direct (DC) or alternating (AC) electric field that is applied along the liquid crystal director (for liquid crystals with a positive dielectric anisotropy) or perpendicular to the director (for liquid crystals with a negative dielectric anisotropy). A perpendicular or tilted orientation of the liquid crystal molecules at the surface of the particle causes distortions, such that the fore-aft (or left-right) symmetry of the particle is broken. The asymmetric orientation of the liquid crystal around the particle allows both charged and neutral particles to be transported, even when the particles themselves are perfectly symmetric (spherical).

A radiological image detection apparatus includes a first grating unit, a grating pattern unit, a radiological image detector, and an anti-scatter grating. The grating pattern unit has a period that substantially coincides with a pattern period of a radiological image formed by radiation having passed through the first grating unit. The radiological image detector detects the radiological image masked by the grating pattern unit. The anti-scatter grating is arranged on a path of the radiation incident onto the radiological image detector and removes scattered radiation. A smoothing process is performed for at least one of a surface and a backside of the anti-scatter grating intersecting with a traveling direction of the radiation.

Принадлежит: Guangzhou OED Technologies Co Ltd

The present invention discloses an electrophoretic display and a driving met hod thereof, comprising: arranging each pixel electrode in the electrophoretic display to correspond to a pixel; determining a driving waveform of the electrophoretic display based on the initial gray level and the final gray level of the pixel, applying a display signal of the driving waveform to the pixel electrode, controlling the pixel whose gray level value needs to be changed; wherein the driving waveform comprises at least one gray level driving procedure, each driving procedure corresponds to a gray level changing direction, the final gray level is a gradually changing gray level in the gray level changing direction which the last driving procedure corresponds to. The present invention can realize relatively accurate control to the gray level change while keeping DC balance by means of the electrophoretic display and the driving method thereof when the screen is refreshed.

A curtain assembly includes a curtain, or panel of flexible material, such as fabric, forming a generally smooth surface extending between a first anchor assembly and a second anchor assembly. Slits through the fabric are sized and arranged to be stretched opened to form respective openings in response to relatively small amounts of stretching of the panel between the two anchor assemblies with a tension force. The openings may be re-closed by allowing the panel to return to a relaxed state. The opening and closing action can be repeated according to new methods to controllably vary the amount of light that the curtain assembly allows through the panel. The curtain assembly may be used as part of various larger assemblies and in various environments. 1. A curtain assembly comprising:a panel of flexible fabric;a first anchor assembly supporting a first end of the panel;a second anchor assembly supporting a second end of the panel, the first and second ends being opposite each other along a first axis;the panel comprising a plurality of spaced apart slits through the panel, each slit having a component transverse to the first axis, the slits arranged in an array, the array comprising a first plurality of the slits forming a first row, a second plurality of the slits forming a second row, each of the first and second rows extending a transverse direction to the first axis, and each of the first slits of the first row being laterally offset from and overlapping with the corresponding ones of the second slits of the second row in the transverse direction; andan actuator associated with the first anchor assembly, the actuator arranged to move the first anchor relative to the second anchor in a manner sufficient to stretch and relax the panel along the first axis.2. The curtain assembly of claim 1 , wherein each slit has a width along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis claim 1 , wherein the overlap is equal to approximately one quarter the width.3. The curtain ...
