  • Patent number: 7737631
    Abstract: A flat panel display and a method of manufacturing the same, which allows the formation of an organic film by inkjet printing while avoiding overflow of ink into adjacent areas, thus increasing the uniformity of thickness of the organic film and decreasing manufacturing costs. The flat panel display includes a substrate, a first electrode layer formed on the substrate, ink with material for a light emission layer formed on an active area of the first electrode layer, a repellant area formed of organic material located around the active area, and a border area also formed of organic material located between the active area and the repellant area. A surface energy of the border area is higher than a surface energy of the repellant area.

  • Patent number: 7553207
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) with an increased service life and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The OLED is subjected to electromagnetic radiation with a spectrum that at least partially overlaps the absorption spectrum of an organic material layer of the OLED. As a result, the OLED has a longer service life, reduced decay in its initial brightness, and more saturated color than a conventional OLED.
