Systems, methods, apparatuses and devices provide an integrated display module or apparatus including a Liquid crystal assembly with highly integrated components including display driver circuitry and backplane circuitry. These approaches provide for packaging of displays with small form-factor displays and microdisplays and, in aspects, for usage in virtual and augmented reality devices.

Gas lasers including nanoscale catalysts and methods for producing such lasers are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a gas laser includes a gas containment structure having a gas discharge region and a laser gas medium in the gas discharge region. The gas laser also includes a plurality of optical elements spaced apart from each other at opposite ends of the gas discharge region to form a laser resonator. The gas laser further includes a nanoscale catalyst proximate to and in communication with the gas discharge region to modify oxidation and/or decomposition processes of selected components of the laser gas medium. In one embodiment, the nanoscale catalyst can include a metal-oxide support substrate carrying a plurality of nanoscale particulates. The nanoscale particulates can be composed of one or more of the following: gold, silver, or platinum, and have an average size of about 1-50 nm.
