I do give a little "volume discount" anyway. USD 2.- less for additional books.

But I'm happy to make sold designs again, or a design you like - but would prefer to have on a different leather color.
Is it a GIFT!
My books come nicely packaged without an invoice included. I will also happily include a message from you, just let me know in the "Message to Seller" box.
Will you TRADE with me?
I'm hard to please. Not a girly girl at all so - jewelry, clothing and such things usually are not for me ...
Are you interested in WHOLESALE?
Nope. I can't produce masses of books and my prices are not high enough to give big discounts so - usually, wholesale does not work for me.
If you have any questions, just ask. I love to hear from you. Either start an Etsy conversation or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Kein Problem, ich spreche auch Deutsch! :)

Williamsburg, Va., April 12, 2016-At noon on Tuesday, April 19, Covenant Christian School will welcome families, friends and members of the community to its first annual "Celebrate Our Covenant" luncheon at Legacy Hall in New Town. This fundraising and community awareness event will feature guest speaker Bobby Scott, director of the ChildLight Schools Association, which is comprised of Christian schools like Covenant who utilize an educational method based on the ideas of English author, philosopher and educator Charlotte Mason (1842-1923).
Bringing this unique style of schooling to the Williamsburg area for the first time, Covenant Christian School opened its doors to 22 students from kindergarten through 12th grade this past August. The student body has already grown to 41, and enrollment for next year is very strong, with waiting lists necessary for some grade levels. The school building, located just a short walk from Colonial Williamsburg at 201 Penniman Road, is already bursting at its seams.
"The level of growth and accomplishment we have been blessed with in less than a year since the school's establishment is truly astounding, as is every indication we see towards the continuance of that momentum," said Head of School Erika Jordan. "More and more families are turning to us for something different-and finding a place where character, creativity and community thrive."
In order to accommodate that growth, the school must rely on support from donors for needed expansions, says Jordan. "Where we are today is a result of the generosity, support and tireless service of many, and where we are going will require an increase in faithful investments of time, prayer and financial support. Our immediate funding needs are for the hiring of additional faculty, the leasing or purchase of adjacent facility space, and the furnishing of that space," she said.
"The 'Celebrate Our Covenant' luncheon is a way for us to present the exciting things going on at our school to those who may or may not know much about us yet. If anyone feels compelled to give financially or with a gift of time or volunteerism, we would be so grateful for that partnership," said Jordan.
The event's guest speaker Bobby Scott, director of the ChildLight Schools Association, has also been Headmaster of Perimeter School, a K-8 school with enrollment of 550 in Johns Creek, Georgia, for 30 years. With two master's degrees in education, he has over 40 years of educational experience as a teacher, coach, principal, pastor and headmaster, and has founded or assisted in establishing four schools. Co-author of "When Children Love to Learn" (Crossway Books, 2004), a Charlotte Mason education book for school educators, he has also been involved in teacher training in East Africa as well as Guatemala.
To obtain a complimentary reserved seat at the April 19 luncheon, or to inquire about making a tax-deductible donation to Covenant Christian School, please contact Karen Koob at (757) 375-0226 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The mission of Covenant Christian School is to glorify God by creating a Christ-centered learning community of covenant families in which education is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life. To learn more, please visit ccswilliamsburg.org.

Chapter XX: The Aurora (2/12)Mature
After eating a huge slice of sponge cake - filled with butterscotch and fudge sauce - Will and his friends returned to the commonroom to gather their things for Cryptid Creature Care. As a special treat, those going on the outing that evening were given a half day to pack and prepare, not that it seemed they needed it judging by the frantic behaviour of that morning.
They spent their lesson with Professor Scrawlish warm in a classroom in the Whiteas building, where they learnt about domesticated creatures such as cactus cats and giant hedgehogs, which required several permits to own because of spike hazards. In their final lesson, Alchemy, Tayna's antagonism towards Professor Alkimia hadn't lessened, in fact as each lesson passed, it became worse. He had been so impressed by their ability to transmute that he decided to put the Elementals together on one table and give them separate tasks to the rest of the class. Whilst they practised medicine in the spagyric art of alchemy, the young royals were tasked with transforming things, becoming more difficult each time.
'I hate him more and more every lesson,' grumbled Tayna,
'For once,' said Silex bitterly, 'can we get through one of these lessons where you're not complaining? We have to do it, so we'd better get going.' Everybody around the table seemed to agree with him, Tayna's eyes narrowed and scanned across them all, falling at one point of Marinia, who glanced up and quickly looked down timidly. Tayna put her hand over her mouth, and Will could see she was concealing a ghost of a smile, subduing the urge to laugh. They completed the task - to turn an iron dagger to copper - Alkimia's eyes watered with joy and he carried it carefully to a glass case behind his desk, writing the experiment and the date on a label and locking it away.
The day's lessons concluded, and most of the students anticipated their free afternoons, going to the Tower of Venus to eat at the restaurant or enjoy the private baths - which were much more like spas. Will, Tayna, Sayara and Andrel returned to the Draíochta commonroom along with many others. In the minutes it had taken them to walk from the Whiteas building to the commonroom, the students were in a flurry to get changed, and most of the boys had cleared out or were leaving, chastised by most of the girls for being in the way.
The three of them manoeuvred past the students rubbing their heads with towels or the girls walking on their heels with toe separators on. They reached the dormitory and headed straight to the top where it became quieter, Tayna and Sayara grabbed their bags full of things, leapt onto their bed and shut the curtains like changing booths.
'Aren't you boys going to get changed?' asked Sayara,
'I think I'll stay like this,' Andrel said nonchalantly, leaping onto Will's bed and putting his arms behind his head.
Tayna huffed in annoyance from behind the curtains, 'can't you at least make some effort?'
'Fine, for you, I'll comb my hair.'

A British diplomat in Kabul, reached by phone in the middle of yesterday's mayhem, was exasperated. "I really don't know why they are doing this – we'll be out of here in two years' time, all they have to do is wait." The answer, not completely glib, is that the insurgents carried out the attack because they could.
The Isaf (International Security Assistance Force) gave a statement, while fighting was still going on, that the bombings and shooting had been "ineffective". Viewed through a narrow military prism, this may be true. By late afternoon, according to the authorities at least, 14 militants had been killed with no loss of government or civilian lives.
But the assaults were not entirely symbolic or aimed at a psychological victory, although both these aims were achieved. One target, apparently, was Ahmed Karim Khalili, a vice-president and a Hazar from the north of the country. Several figures from the old Northern Alliance, the Taliban's enemy in the bitter civil war, have been eliminated.
The ISI-backed Haqqani network, or whoever was responsible for the attack, know there could be another civil war and may be preparing for it. New battle lines are being drawn up; yesterday saw Russian troops protecting their embassy as it came under attack for the first time since Russia's doomed invasion in 1979. Old Mujahideen commanders who fought against the Soviets, and who are now MPs, picked up guns to fight back against the insurgents.
The combatants, it seems, cannot wait for the Western forces to leave. Meanwhile, Nato faces a difficult period. Yesterday's violence came as defence and foreign ministers prepare to meet in Brussels next week to discuss Afghanistan and work out a blueprint for the end of Nato's mission in the country.
The logical course would be to listen to military commanders and leave the bulk of the forces on the ground, to give Afghan forces the utmost time to get ready. But the political expediency at home means that this will probably not happen.

Google (GOOG) shares were up a fraction in midday trading Monday, after RBC Capital Markets upgraded its price target to 950 from 840, short of the 1,000 high-water mark among several recent price target hikes for the online search leader.
Google's stock was trading near 836 in the stock market today.
RBC analyst Mark Mahaney wrote in a Sunday research note that he raised the price target based in part on "growing appreciation" of Google's YouTube video site. The top 100 advertisers on YouTube boosted ad spending by 50% in 2012, and revenue for the site is expected to be "well over" $4 billion this year, Mahaney wrote.
"With the shares up 29% since mid-November, Google has undergone a re-rating (along with the market) which we think is justified and sustainable," Mahaney wrote.
RBC rates the stock outperform, or buy.
Jefferies & Co. this month hiked its Google target price to 1,000 from 875. That firm's analysts cited Google's new product listing ads program, in the transition to the paid Google Shopping program last year.
Also this month, Piper Jaffray increased its price target to 938 from 828, and Atlantic Securities increased its target to 1,000 from 870, according to Analyst Ratings Network.
The average price target of 30 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is 850.

Philosophical Question
I was having an argument on the following topic:
Was the crew of the South Korean ferry following the Captain's orders to abandon ship, knowing that it was 100% the wrong thing to do, any different than Nazis soldiers following the orders of their superiors to exterminate Jews?
Or, is this too extreme a comparison of right versus wrong?

There's a fertile market for international and local insurance companies in Asia, but the first hurdle is the integration of this regional insurance market, says Mike Morrissey.
Participating in the inaugural ASEAN Insurance Summit in October, I was struck by both the enormous opportunities and the formidable challenges awaiting the formalisation of the ASEAN Economic Community in late 2015. This market of 10 Southeast Asian nations boasts more than 625 million people, and a combined gross domestic product of approximately $2.5 trillion, growing at more than 5 percent per annum. It is a potentially formidable global economic powerhouse indeed.
These statistics make the opportunities easy to visualise: a huge market with a decidedly young demographic profile, and rapidly rising incomes; a fertile market for international and local insurance companies to offer both life and nonlife coverages. The first challenge that must be met, however, is the integration of this regional insurance market.
This group of countries is far from homogeneous. The largest member, Indonesia, ranks fourth in the world with over 240 million people, while oil-rich Brunei has just 400,000. The range of financial sophistication spans world class Singapore to relatively primitive Lao. This is clearly not going to be an easy integration compared to, say, the EU or the North American Free Trade Agreement, or the even more difficult Gulf Cooperation Council or Association of Latin American Insurance Supervisors unions.

By That Fucking Tank
Oh That Fucking Tank how I love you so, with your instrumental death disco music that makes my ears bleed while I dance away. Strangely for a band with a tiny drum kit and one guitar they do make a pleasant racket. Songs like "Making a Meal for Beethoven" really are ridiculously stunning and pack the trademark Tank groove. Deep and dark the songs that draw you in before the detonator is pressed and walls of sound come hurtling toward you. But still it's danceable like getting your groove on while a building is being demolished. Strange I know but trust me.
Between the carnage there are brief interludes that give you a chance to catch your breath. On their own they may not amount to much but as part of the whole album they provide a variety that improves one's listening experienced. Whether it is a song about beer or a recipe for Cranberry relish they are a stopgap from the audio assault and as soon as they finish you are refreshed and ready for more.
This isn't an easy listening record. If you love the sort of bands that grace the Load Records label then That Fucking Tank are the band for you. But their riffs and delectable beats won't win everyone over. This is an intense adventure and one of those records that makes even more sense when you have seen the band live. Out now on vinyl I suggest you get this while it's hot or if you fear vinyl then wait for the CD that's out in January.

Top Traveller Review
Fantastically equipped & wonderfully located villaFantastically equipped & wonderfully located villa
Cannot fault anything about the location - nice and quiet, very close to the rubbish disposal and the small Spa shop for when we needed to buy essentials. The Continente supermarket - 10 mins away in taxi - we found to be the best. It is also only 10 mins taxi ride from the gorgeous marina which has restaurants for every taste and lovely bars for drinks afterwards.
The maids came 3 times during our stay which was very adequate indeed. The rep from the holiday company met us at the villa when we arrived to show us around and provided excellent customer service - as did the owner of the property when booking.
One thing to note - we found that using Uber was the easiest and cheapest way to book taxis for when we went to the marina, food shopping and Algarve Shopping Centre.
Thanks again to Kenny and the team at Silver Holidays for providing us the villa for an amazing holiday.

Fantastically equipped & wonderfully located villa
The listing description of the villa was very accurate. Everything listed catered to our every need - there was 5 adults and one 2 year old staying at the villa. The added bonus of British Sky TV at the time of the Olympics was superb! The second fridge freezer downstairs in the garage was ideal to store extra drinks. The pool was an excellent size and warm! Also the sunbeds were comfortable and the outdoor table and chairs were lovely to use to eat meals day and night. Also very handy to have washing machine and tumble dryer - the only thing that was perhaps lacking was a working hoover.

There were 6 of us that stayed at this property and we were over the moon when we arrived. There was plenty of space throughout the property, it was immaculately clean and well presented. We wouldn't hesitate in booking this villa again.
Great Holiday & Villa
We returned last week from a week long stay at your villa in Vilamoura. I just wanted to say thanks as we had a brilliant holiday and the villa was just perfect.
Your pictures on the owners direct website were exactly as we found the villa, and in fact the villa was larger than I expected.
The management company were equally great, Val was there to meet us and help in any way she could. Any query I had either by phone or email was answered promptly and dealt with straight away by either Val or Gail.
It was our first family holiday abroad so I was a little apprehensive but we had a super time.
Thanks again and I would have no problem recommending your villa to family and friends.
Kind regards
Vacation relaxation
Great villa well supplied with all amenities.pool was great & much needed after the guys played golf we were expecting a towel change midweek which did not happen it was very clean well maintained! Reasonable taxi fares to Vilamoura. We sent flight details but as we did not have internet coverage on 1st June prior to arriving we had to ring owner in uk for contact numbers he was very helpful! We expected someone to meet us which they did after a call. No directions to villa! The villa we would recommend to anyone wanting a break or golf venue

This is at least the second time you've called me out on this in public. The first time I let it go but this time I wont. The funny thing is that I actually went in on the cards you specifically asked for and made them all the lowest on the site after you asked about them. Even that wasn't enough for you as you are an extreme lowballer. I have too many cards to keep up with all of the pricing. Sometimes the values move down and I don't notice so my cards stay up. Sometimes the values go up and I don't notice and I am way underpriced. I am almost always the lowest or in the lowest three at the time I list my cards though unless it is rare or the only card on site. Then I price more aggressively as most sellers do. If another then gets added and I didn't notice then my card is higher but the only one that hurts is me. None of my prices are intentionally ridiculous and if they are and someone lets me know then I adjust them just as I did for you. I also allow 45% off offers. Not that I will accept them on everything but it is something that sellers like Joel don't do.
Moral of the story? Piss off. If you want to lowball and be a cheap arse fine. But don't call me out in public because I wont roll over for you. You feel entitled that just because you are collecting a set that everyone should give them to you.
I would ban you but I have no sway or pull here.

Only quick action will be needed and everyone else has stated that the laser actually slowed the down. So the laser could be look at as a handicap.

She said yes. Then why should we waste our time go to user accounts and reset the password using the password hit. She did that and the password of her user account has removed. Then she restarted her laptop and successfully log on to her account. She was so happy when she was able to find the saved files.

ImageModeler Coming to Mac OS XRealViz expects release by Macworld SF
Stitcher is a tool for creating spherical panoramas using a simple drag and drop interface. Essentially, you move pieces of the panorama on top of each other and match up a couple of points, and Stitcher handles the rest. It includes tools for color correction and automatically fixes lens distortion. It can output to QuickTime, Shockwave 3D, VRML, cylindrical, equirectangular, rectilinear and cube faces, as well as standard image formats like JPEG, TIFF and PICT, among others.
ImageModeler is a completely different application altogether. In essence, it converts 2D photographs into 3D geometry. Unlike hardware solutions that do the same thing, this one allows you to place points manually onto a series of still images, which the program then uses to calculate the 3D geometry. It also sells for a lot less than hardware-based solutions, coming in around $2,000.
We saw ImageModeler working on both facial and architectural features, and it looks to be a promising addition to the Mac's arsenal of 3D tools. ImageModeler for Mac OS X has not been "officially" announced yet, though the company did tell us it expects to release the product by Macworld San Francisco in January 2002.

Patent application title: Display Device
Mark Thomas Johnson
Murray Gillies
Origin: BRIARCLIFF MANOR, NY US
IPC8 Class: AG06F3041FI
USPC Class:
A matrix display device (32) comprising at least one structured layer,
arranged on a substrate and formed so as to include a code (31),
detectable by a pointing device (33) to determine a position on the
display (32). Providing the pixel structure with a location code can be
achieved by relatively simple modifications of the manufacturing process.
Therefore, the code can be incorporated in the display device in a very
cost efficient manner, typically not increasing the manufacturing cost of
a conventional matrix display. It will therefore either reduce the cost
price of devices where a touch screen is already present or greatly
improve the functionality of many products where a touch screen is at
present too expensive.
1. A matrix display device (32) comprising at least one structured layer
(1; 19; 20), arranged on a substrate (15; 17; 22), characterized in that
said layer (1) is formed so as to include a code (31), detectable by a
pointing device (33) to determine a position on the display.
2. A display device according to claim 1, wherein said structure is pixel structure.
3. A display device according to claim 2, wherein said layer constitutes a pixel matrix layer (1) of the display device.
4. A display device according to claim 1, wherein said layer is disposed externally of a pixel matrix layer.
5. A display device according to claim 1, wherein said layer is formed by a lithographic technique.
6. A display device according to claim 1, wherein said layer is formed by printing.
7. A display device according to claim 1, wherein said layer (1) comprises at least one set of parallel lines delimiting a plurality of pixel areas (2), and said code comprises fields (5; 14) associated with said parallel lines and extending into said pixel areas.
8. A display device according to claim 7, wherein said fields (5) are solid.
9. A display device according to claim 7, wherein said fields are formed as protrusions (14) in said parallel lines.
10. A display device according to claim 9, wherein one protrusion (14a) reducing the size of a pixel area (13b) is at least partially compensated by a second protrusion (14b) extending the size of said pixel area (13b), so that the pixel area (13b) remains essentially unchanged.
11. A display device according to claim 7, wherein said fields are located adjacent to intersections of said parallel lines.
12. A display device according to claim 7, wherein said fields are located between intersections of said parallel lines.
13. A display device according to claim 1, wherein said display (32) is self-emissive.
14. A display device according to claim 1, wherein said display (32) comprises an integrated illumination system.
[0001]The present invention relates to a matrix display device comprising
at least one structured layer, disposed on a substrate to form a pixel
structure. In particular, the invention relates to such displays intended
for use as a touch screen.
[0002]Traditionally, touch screens have been based on sensing of a pressure, applied by e.g. a finger or a pointing device. Such sensing can make use of local changes in capacitance or resistance between two foils mounted on top of the screen. Other alternative solutions involve ultrasonic detection of a pointer, or surface acoustic wave detection. In essence, however, the concept is that the device, being for example the hand held computer, uses a detection mechanism to determine the position of either a pointer (such as in a Palm computer) or a finger.
[0003]A drawback with such sensing is that each screen that requires touch screen functionality must be equipped with the sensing mechanism. If those sensing mechanisms are different, this requires use of different pointing devices.
[0004]Recently, a pointing device technology has been developed by Anoto AB, described in the patent U.S. Pat. No. 6,502,756 and in the published application US 2003/0061188. The technology involves a pointing device (in the form of a pen) adapted to register its position in relation to a coded pattern preprinted on a paper or the like.
[0005]A pen and paper according to this technology is marketed by Logitech. The location code on the paper comprises dots situated on a matrix with a spacing of 300 um in both the X and Y directions. Code information is contained in the exact position of each dot which can be offset by 100 um in either of the four compass directions. If one considers a randomly chosen array of 5×5 dots then the variations in the positions of the dots gives a unique location code on the paper. The pen uses an infra red illumination source and a CCD camera to read the codes at a frequency of 100 Hz. Such a pen can be used to write a hardcopy on the paper, while simultaneously making a soft copy of what's being written.
[0006]It is an object of the invention to provide a cost efficient alternative to conventional touch screens.
[0007]This and other objects are achieved by a matrix display device comprising at least one structured layer, disposed on a substrate to form a pixel structure, wherein this layer is formed so as to include a code, detectable by a pointing device to determine a position on the display.
[0008]According to the invention, any periodic pixel structure formed on a substrate of a display can be provided with a location code readable by a pointing device. The code can be essentially of the kind described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,502,756, but is not limited to this type of code.
[0009]As the code is implemented in the display structure device itself, no adaptation of the driver or application software is required.
[0010]Providing the pixel structure with a location code can be achieved by relatively simple modifications of the manufacturing process. Therefore, the code can be incorporated in the display device in a very cost efficient manner, typically not increasing the manufacturing cost of a conventional matrix display. It will therefore either reduce the cost price of devices where a touch screen is already present or greatly improve the functionality of many products where a touch screen is at present too expensive.
[0011]The location codes will not be visible to the eye as we are merely adapting components of the display that are already of such fine feature size that they are not visible to the naked eye. This means that the user is not forced to use the pointer option and that the code can "secretly" be in the display without the user knowing.
[0012]The pixel structure layer can be a pixel matrix layer of the display device, such as a black matrix (row and column dividers), capacitance lines, pixel wall encapsulation, transistor (TFT) layer, storage capacitors, etc.
[0013]The pixel structure layer can also be disposed externally of a pixel matrix layer, such as a color filter, a front light reflection layer, or a polarizer layer arranged on top of the display.
[0014]The layer can be disposed using lithographic techniques, or printing techniques (offset, contact or inkjet printing).
[0015]According to a preferred embodiment, the layer comprises a grid of two sets of parallel lines delimiting a plurality of pixel areas, and the code comprises fields associated with said parallel lines and extending into said pixel areas. The fields can be solid blocks, or be protrusions in the lines. This latter alternative makes it possible to vary the form of each pixel so as to result in a unique code when read together with the neighboring pixels, while at the same time preserving the pixel area of each pixel. Basically, what is lost in area on a side with an intruding line can be gained on a side with a protruding line.
[0016]The fields can be located adjacent to intersections of the parallel lines, or in between such intersections.
[0017]The device can be self emissive, i.e. not requiring an external light source to generate an image. Such displays include backlight based displays like LCD displays, light guide displays such as dynamic foil displays, and LED displays like organic LED displays. Compared to prior art, this has the advantage that the pointing device does not require any illumination source such as an infra red LED to illuminate the codes.
[0018]This and other aspects of the present invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to the appended drawings showing a currently preferred embodiment of the invention.
[0019]FIG. 1 shows a black matrix according to a first embodiment of the invention.
[0020]FIG. 2 shows a pixel layout according to a second embodiment of the invention.
[0021]FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c each show applications of the invention on different display types.
[0022]FIG. 4 shows a display device and a pointing device according to an embodiment of the invention.
[0023]A first embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1, in the form of a black matrix layer 1. The black matrix comprises two sets of parallel lines 3, 4, defining the pixels 2 in a display. The display can be for example an LCD display but similar pixel structures are present in other matrix type displays, such as a organic LED display. The display is preferably emissive, either by means of light emitting elements by them selves capable of emitting light, or by means of a light source coupled to a plurality of pixel elements. The first category includes any LED display, while the second category includes displays with a back light, such as LCD displays, and displays with a light guide coupled to a light source, such as dynamic foil displays.
[0024]The black matrix according to this embodiment of the invention includes small blocks 5 at the crossing points of the lines 3, 4. These blocks are positioned to the left or right of the matrix in the horizontal direction and/or to the middle, up or down in the vertical. There is also one central position. This gives in total a 7-bit code rather than the 9-bit code of the Logitech paper mentioned above. If, however, a larger number of bits are required then there are many other options, e.g. extra positions in either the vertical or the horizontal directions.
[0025]A black matrix is typically manufactured in a lithography process, where the desired matrix pattern is transferred to a substrate from a lithographic exposure mask. The code illustrated in FIG. 1 can thus be incorporated in the black matrix by simply changing the lithographic exposure mask, hence requiring no additional processing steps leading to a cost efficient manufacturing process.
[0026]Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b. Here, the dividing lines 11, 12 between pixels 13 are not straight, but presents protrusions 14, preferably rectangular or triangular in shape, extending into one of the neighboring pixels, thereby resulting in a varying form of the pixels. In the illustrated example, only the vertical lines 11 are provided with such protrusions 14, and the vertical position is varied to form the location code. The number of protrusions 14 and their different positions on each pixel side can be determined by the skilled man in order to obtain a sufficient number of code combinations.
[0027]The protrusion 14a from one pixel 13a into a neighboring pixel 13b results in one pixel area 13a being extended at the expense of the other pixel area 13b. However, if the pixel 13b on its other side is provided with another protrusion 14b, extending its pixel area, these protrusions 14a, 14b will compensate each other. Generally speaking, if each pixel has the same number of sides provided with protrusions (e.g. its both vertical sides), the effects from these protrusions will be equal for all pixels (see FIG. 2a). Alternatively, each protrusions can be simultaneously compensated by an inclusion to form e.g. a rectangular or triangular "S"-shape 14', in which case it does not affect the area of the pixels at all (see FIG. 2b).
[0028]The shape of pixels is typically also defined in a lithography process, whereby the embodiment in FIGS. 2a and 2b can also be realized very cost efficiently. In this process, the black matrix 1 is disposed on a substrate 15 as shown in FIG. 3a.
[0029]Although the invention has now been described in relation to a black matrix, other applications are possible, using other pixel structures in a matrix type display. For example, the position and shape of capacitance lines, transistors (e.g. thin film transistors) or storage capacitors can be varied in the same way (changing the lithography mask) in order to realize a location code as described above. Also, certain color filters embodied using lithography may be used.
[0030]Moreover, the invention is not limited to pixel structure layers being formed by lithography. On the contrary, many other types of layers can be used to realize the invention.
[0031]For example, different types of printing techniques may be used, such as offset printing, contact printing and ink-jet printing. A black matrix as described above may be printed as well as disposed in a lithography process. Typical other structures which are printed on a substrate in matrix type displays include pixel wall encapsulation, certain color filters and barrier ribs. In addition to these layers, organic LED displays include layers for printing dams and cathode separators, also suitable to realize the invention. A further possible realization of the invention relates to molded structures, which are present in e.g. dynamic foil displays and front light displays.
[0032]In a dynamic foil display, shown schematically in FIG. 3b, an electromechanically operable foil 16 is arranged between a light guide 17 and a passive plate 18, and held in place by spacers 19 aligned with electrodes (not shown) for operating the foil. The spacers 19 may be molded integrally with the light guide, or be printed in the light guide using any of the above mentioned techniques. According to one embodiment of the invention, these spacers are formed to include the location code, e.g. in a way as described above.
[0033]In a front light display, shown schematically in FIG. 3c, a plate 20 formed with light scattering formations 21, e.g. pyramids or notches, couples light out from a light guide 22 to a reflective display 23. In this case, the scattering formations can then be formed to include the location code, e.g. in a way as described above. Note that the pyramids (or notches) do not necessarily have to have the same periodicity as the pixel structure.
[0034]FIG. 4 shows how the location code 31 incorporated in a display 32 according to the invention can be read by a pointing device 33. In the preferred embodiments, the display generates light by itself, and the pointing device does thus not require any light source to illuminate the code, only a light sensing device 34 connected to a processor 35. In principle, this requires that all pixels in the area of interest emit light, as the code otherwise will not be visible, but in practice this will not be a problem. First of all, an area of interest will typically display some kind of information, thus having a significant portion of the pixels emitting light. Secondly, even pixels that are turned off will normally leak a small amount of light, which should be enough to detect the code. Finally, even if a number of pixels are so dark that the code can not be detected by the pointing device, a unique code pattern can normally still be detected, at least if the area of detection includes a sufficient number of pixels.
[0035]As the position sensing task is now performed by the pointing device 33, the position data acquired needs to be transferred back to the processor 36 of the display device 32 in order to affect the data displayed (e.g. change menus, execute display commands, etc). Such, preferably cordless, communication can be achieved in any number of ways. In a preferred embodiment, the pointing device 33 and display device 32 are equipped with Blue Tooth circuits 37a, 37b providing communication according to the BlueTooth protocol. This solution facilitates using the same pointing device with several different display devices (TV set, phone, personal digital assistant, etc).
[0036]The person skilled in the art realizes that the present invention by no means is limited to the preferred embodiments described above. On the contrary, many modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the appended claims. For example, the invention can be applied to other types of displays than the ones shown in FIGS. 3a-3c, such as plasma displays and organic LED displays. The details of the pointing device can also differ from the example disclosed with reference to FIG. 4, including for example different sensing, processing and/or communication possibilities. Depending on the sensing technology used, the structure implementing the code may be reflective, emissive, or a combination thereof.
