Abstract
A package structure and method of packaging an interferometric modulator with a reinforcing substance to help support the integrity of the package. In some embodiments the reinforcing substance is a desiccant integrated into the backplate or the transparent substrate.
Claims36
A display device, comprising:
- a transparent substrate;
- an interferometric modulator configured to modulate light transmitted through the transparent substrate;
- a backplate cover sealed to said transparent substrate to form a package, wherein said interferometric modulator is inside said package;
- and
- a reinforcing substance in contact with said backplate cover, wherein said reinforcing substance is configured to provide structural support to the backplate cover.
2 more elements
A method of manufacturing a display device, comprising:
- providing a transparent substrate comprising an interferometric modulator configured to modulate light transmitted through the transparent substrate;
- providing a backplate cover configured to mount to said transparent substrate;
- applying a reinforcing substance to said backplate cover, wherein said reinforcing substance is configured to provide structural support to said backplate, and wherein said reinforcing substance is also a desiccant;
- and
- sealing said backplate cover to said transparent substrate.
2 more elements
A display device comprising:
- a transparent substrate comprising an interferometric modulator configured to modulate light transmitted through the transparent substrate;
- a backplate cover sealed to said transparent substrate to form a package, wherein said interferometric modulator is inside said package;
- and
- a prolonged-acting desiccant associated with said backplate cover, wherein said prolonged-acting desiccant has a half-life for absorbing water of not less than 10 hours.
1 more element
A display device package, comprising:
- a transparent substrate;
- an interferometric modulator configured to modulate light transmitted through the transparent substrate;
- a backplate cover sealed to said transparent substrate to form a package, wherein said interferometric modulator is inside said package;
- and
- a means for reinforcing the backplate cover.
2 more elements
A display device manufactured by a process comprising:
- applying a reinforcing substance to a backplate cover, wherein said reinforcing substance is a desiccant;
- allowing the reinforcing substance to dry;
- and
- sealing a transparent substrate comprising an interferometric modulator to the backplate cover.
