  • LUMINESCENT MATERIALS AND METHODS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220389310
    Abstract: The present disclosure features a luminescent molecule, including a luminophore (e.g., a fluorescent dye); and a moiety including a heteroaryl core covalently and directly bonded to the luminophore. The luminescent molecule has an increased photoluminescence quantum yield relative to an analogous luminophore without a covalently bonded moiety including the heteroaryl core.

    Publication date: December 8, 2022
    Applicant: University of Washington
    Inventors: Yunping Huang, Christine Keiko Luscombe, III
  • LAYERED LUMINESCENT SOLAR CONCENTRATORS
    Publication number: 20210193857
    Abstract: The present disclosure features a luminescent solar concentrator, including a layer including a quantum-cutting material; and a layer including a broadly light-absorbing material (that is also photoluminescent) optically coupled to and beneath the layer including the quantum-cutting material, relative to a light source.

  • Synthesis of chalcogen-capped pi-conjugated polymers
    Patent number: 9453102
    Abstract: Methods for the preparation of mono- and bis-end-functionalized ?-conjugated polymers. In the methods, chalcogens are selectively installed at the polymer terminus or termini.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2016
    Assignee: University of Washington through its Center for Commercialization
    Inventors: Christine Keiko Luscombe, Ken Okamoto
  • SYNTHESIS OF CHALOGEN-CAPPED PI-CONJUGATED POLYMERS
    Publication number: 20150112028
    Abstract: Methods for the preparation of mono- and bis-end-functionalized ?-conjugated polymers. In the methods, chalcogens are selectively installed at the polymer terminus or termini.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 20, 2014
    Publication date: April 23, 2015
    Applicant: University of Washington through its Center for Commercialization
    Inventors: Christine Keiko Luscombe, Ken Okamoto
  • Patterned deposition using compressed carbon dioxide
    Publication number: 20040052944
    Abstract: A method for the patterned deposition of a material comprises the steps of dissolving or suspending said material in a solvent phase comprising compressed carbon dioxide, and depositing the solution or suspension onto a surface, evaporation of the solvent phase leaving a patterned deposit of said material. This method is particularly suitable for the patterned deposition of polymers and small organic molecules in organic light emitting diodes and organic transistors.
