A light emitting device, including a light emitting element, and a resin layer that has been screen printed to coat said light emitting element is provided. The resin layer is formed from a curable silicone resin composition, which includes (i) an organopolysiloxane with a polystyrene equivalent weight average molecular weight of at least 5×103, (ii) a condensation catalyst, (iii) a solvent, and (iv) a finely powdered inorganic filler. The uniformity of the film thickness is excellent, thus resulting in little color irregularities during light emission from the light emitting element.

An electrochemical biosensor formed by screen printing and method of fabricating such biosensor is disclosed in the present invention. The biosensor can quickly absorb a sample to be measured therein, effectively control volume of the sample fed and “fill-and-position” the sample therein. The biosensor includes an electrode layer (electrode area) comprising two or three electrodes, which are a working electrode, a reference electrode and an auxiliary electrode (tri-electrode) on an insulating substrate. An active reaction layer containing reactant, reaction catalyst, mediator, wetting agent and surfactant is spread on the surface of the electrode layer. A sample inflow area is formed above the electrode area by adding an upper cover on top of a middle insulating layer with a U-shaped opening formed therein. Sample solution with a minute amount about 0.8 to 1 μl can be rapidly introduced into the electrode area and the active reaction layer via the inflow area by siphon or capillary, where the ingredient of the sample can be analysed by measuring reaction between the sample, reaction catalyst and mediator in the reaction layer using electrochemical potentiometric or amperometric method. An upwardly extended closed space formed within the upper cover above the electrode area adjacent to the front of conductive wires can be effectively used to control sample volume and “fill-and-position” the sample.

A contactless, inductive charger having a generally planar surface is provided. An image, text or other visual indicator is disposed upon the substantially planar surface such that the visual indicator represents a preferred placement orientation for an electronic device for optimal inductive charging. The charger includes a primary coil positioned within the boundaries of the image, such that a user has a visual guide for placing the device on the charging surface for maximum efficiency in charging. The visual indicator, which may be a picture, outline, text or other directional indicator, may be geometrically similar to a shape of the electronic device or may be in the shape of a generic device. It may be disposed upon the charger by a method selected from the group consisting of painting, molding, silk screening, plating, vapor deposition and adhesive retention.

A process for creating an electronically addressable display includes multiple printing operations, similar to a multi-color process in conventional screen printing. In some of the process steps, electrically non-active inks are printed onto areas of the receiving substrate, and in other steps, electrically active inks are printed onto different areas of the substrate. The printed display can be used in a variety of applications. This display can be used as an indicator by changing state of the display after a certain time has elapsed, or when a certain pressure, thermal, radiative, moisture, acoustic, inclination, pH, or other threshold is passed. In one embodiment, the display is incorporated into a battery indicator. A sticker display is described. The sticker is adhesive backed and may then be applied to a surface to create a functional information display unit. This invention also features a display that is both powered and controlled using radio frequencies. It describes a complete system for controlling, addressing, and powering a display. The system includes an antenna or antennae, passive charging circuitry, and active control system, a display, and an energy storage unit. There is also a separate transmitter that provides the remote power for the display. The system is meant to be used anywhere it is useful to provide intermittent updates of information such as in a store, on a highway, or in an airport. A tile-based display allowing a modular system for large area display is created using a printable display material.

A method for manufacturing a full color, reflective display includes the steps of depositing a first plurality of electrophoretic display elements in substantial registration with a first electrode and a second plurality of electrophoretic display elements in substantial registration with a second electrode. The electrophoretic display elements include a capsule containing a species of particles dispersed in a suspending fluid. The selective deposition of the display elements can be achieved by ink-jet printing methods, screen printing methods or other printing methods. In some embodiments the electrodes are printed onto the substrate before selective deposition of the display elements, while in other embodiments the substrate is provided having the electrodes already disposed on it. In still other embodiments, the sequence of printing of electrodes and electrophoretic display elements can be varied.

A patterned transparent conductor including a conductive layer coated on a substrate is described. More specifically, the transparent conductor can be patterned by screen-printing an acidic etchant formulation on the conductive layer. A screen-printable etchant formulation is also disclosed.

A method for producing a topographical pattern on or in a papermachine fabric. The method for creating the pattern on or in an fabric, includes producing a topographical polymer pattern on or in a papermachine fabric using a rotary screen. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Signs including electroluminescent lamps are described. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention a sign includes an electroluminescent lamp integrally formed therewith. The electroluminescent lamp is formed on the sign by using the sign as a substrate for the lamp and performing the steps of screen printing a rear electrode to a front surface of the sign, screen printing at least one dielectric layer over the rear electrode after screen printing the rear electrode to the sign, screen printing a phosphor layer over the dielectric layer to define a desired area of illumination that is smaller in area than the dielectric layer, screen printing a sealant layer over the remaining portion of the dielectric layer, screen printing a layer of indium tin oxide ink to the phosphor layer, screen printing an outlining electrode layer to the sign that outlines the rear electrode, screen printing a background layer onto the sign so that the background layer substantially surrounds the desired area of illumination, and applying a protective coat over the indium tin oxide ink and background layer. The rear electrode of each lamp is screen printed directly to the front surface of the sign, and the other layers of the EL lamp are screen printed over the rear electrode.
