US Patent:

8137498, Mar 20, 2012
Filed:

Jan 18, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/009393
Inventors:

James D. Sampica - Springville IA, US
Paul R. Nemeth - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Tracy J. Barnidge - Marion IA, US
Vincent P. Marzen - Robins IA, US
Assignee:

Rockwell Collins Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA
International Classification:

B32B 37/00
US Classification:

156286, 156285
Abstract:

The present invention is a process for performing rigid-to-rigid substrate lamination implementing pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). The process may include pressurizing a first sealed cavity to a first pressure. The process may further include creating a vacuum within a second sealed cavity, the second sealed cavity being sealed from the first sealed cavity by a flexible membrane. The process may further include applying the first pressure to a laminate assembly stack via the flexible membrane, the laminate assembly stack including a first substrate, a second substrate, and a PSA layer, the PSA layer being positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate. The process may further include applying the vacuum created within the second sealed cavity to the laminate assembly stack. The applied first pressure and the applied vacuum promote intimate contact between the first substrate and the second substrate of the laminate assembly stack via the PSA layer.

F21V 7/04
US Classification:

362612, 362606, 362607, 362622
Abstract:

A light emitting diode (LED) night vision imaging system (NVIS) lens apparatus for use in filtering of a plurality of night-mode LEDs is provided. The lens apparatus includes an optical carrier material having a plurality of apertures disposed and arranged such that, when the lens apparatus is coupled to an LED backlight, each of the plurality of apertures allows light from a corresponding day-mode LED to be transmitted therethrough without filtering. The lens apparatus also includes filter material coupled to and supported by the optical carrier material. The filter material is disposed and arranged on the optical carrier material such that, when the lens apparatus is coupled to the LED backlight, light from each of a plurality of night-mode LEDs is filtered by the filter material. Backlight assemblies and displays are also provided.
