Royalty Report: Consumer Electronics, Computers & Office Equipment, Electrical & Electronics – Collection: 26230

License Grant

Licensor hereby grants Licensee a non-exclusive, world-wide, non-transferable License, without the right to subLicense, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works and otherwise dispose of Microdisplay-Based Products. As to the PreExisting IP, this License will remain in effect for a period of five years from the effective date, with royalties to be paid.

License Property

'Microdisplay Device' means a device consisting exclusively of (a) a silicon backplane and liquid crystal material and/or (b) a formatter and/or (c) packaging and assembly for the purpose of operating said silicon backplane and liquid crystal material or said formatter. A 'formatter' is that part of control electronics that accepts a digital representation of a gray-scale and/or color image in pixel format and puts out digital signals controlling: (1) the temporal switching sequence of corresponding binary output pixels in a silicon backplane and liquid crystal material and/or (2) the temporal modulation of light by components of a display system other than the silicon backplane and liquid crystal material for the purpose of displaying the corresponding pixel intensity.

Microdisplays are used today primarily as electronic viewfinders in digital still cameras and video camcorders. Microdisplays are an emerging display technology that are magnified or projected through the use of optics. The microdisplays use proprietary ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon, or FLCOS, technology, which offers an image quality in the viewfinder of digital still cameras and video camcorders. The licensed viewfinders have several advantages over standard optical viewfinders, including the ability to properly frame images on the viewfinder of a camera with high optical zoom. Additionally, the microdisplays incorporate proprietary controller and interface features that provide customers with a highly integrated microdisplay solution that is small in size, low in cost, low in voltage and shortens their product design times. Many of the leading digital still camera and video camcorder brands, including Concord Camera, Hewlett-Packard, JVC, Kyocera, Minolta and Sony, use or have used the licensed microdisplays in their electronic viewfinders.

License Grant

Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a worldwide, irrevocable,non-exclusive license with the right to grant sublicenses upon terms and conditions consistent with this Agreement, under the Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, lease and sell Licensed Products.

Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a worldwide, irrevocable, exclusive license to make, have made, use and sell Exclusive Products. The exclusive license is subject to rights previously granted by Licensor with respect to Direct Drive Devices other than FLC on VLSI devices.

Licensor and Licensee entered into a worldwide non-exclusive license agreement for the FLC Technology patents in 1987  which was replaced in 1990 and 1993, and wish to replace the 1993 license agreement with this Agreement.

License Property

The Licensed Patents pertain to ferroelectric liquid crystal technology or FLC Technology.

The patents are United States Patent Nos. 4,367,924, 4,563,059, 4,813,767, 4,840,463, 4,958,916, 5,083,855 and 5,227,905, European Patent Specification Publication No. 32362,
Swiss Patent No. 647337, Japanese Laid Open Patent Application Nos. Sho 63-153521 and Hei 5-281580, and Japanese Published Patent No. Sho 63-22287 which registered as Japanese Patent No. 1555765, and Norwegian Patent No. 156,846 and all continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions and changes of application or vice versa of any of such applications for patent and all reissues, amendments, additions, extensions, and re-examinations of any such patents.

Field of Use

We, the Licensee, design, develop and market microdisplays used today primarily as electronic viewfinders in digital still cameras and video camcorders. Microdisplays are an emerging display technology based on very small display panels that are magnified or projected through the use of optics. Our microdisplays combine our proprietary ferroelectric liquid crystal, or FLC, chemical mixtures with commercially available silicon to create ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon, or FLCOS, technology. The highly controllable optical properties of our FLC mixtures offer an image quality in the viewfinder of digital still cameras and video camcorders that we believe to be superior to other available electronic viewfinders. Our viewfinders also have several advantages over standard optical viewfinders, including the ability to properly frame images on the viewfinder of a camera with high optical zoom. Additionally, our microdisplays incorporate proprietary controller and interface features that provide our customers with a solution that is small in size, competitively priced, low in voltage, and our microdisplays are easy to use because they do not require external interface electronics. Many of the leading digital still camera and video camcorder brands use or have used our microdisplays in their electronic viewfinders, including Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Kyocera and Sony. Our microdisplays are used only in the electronic viewfinders featured in our customers' products and not in the flat-panel displays that are included in most digital still cameras and video camcorders.

License Grant

The agreement is directed toward inventions and discoveries relating to FLCs and FLC materials. The Licensee has an exclusive worldwide License to technology so developed and the University is entitled to royalties on sales of products and materials incorporating the Licensed technology.

License Property

The Licensee's microdisplays combine proprietary ferroelectric liquid crystal, or FLC, chemical mixtures with commercially available silicon to create ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon, or FLCOS, technology. The highly controllable optical properties of the FLC mixtures offer an image quality in the viewfinder of digital still cameras and video camcorders that may be superior to other available electronic viewfinders.

Field of Use
