  • Patent number: 8188673
    Abstract: Organic light emitting diode arrangement Organic light emitting diode arrangements (1) are, to protect them against an effect of a switch-on, provided with circuits (31-36) for, during a first time interval that follows a switch-on, limiting a current through the organic light emitting diode arrangement (1) more and for, during a second time interval that follows the first time interval, limiting the current less. The circuit (31-36) may be passive such as a negative temperature coefficient resistor (31) or a series inductor (32) possibly with a freewheel diode (40) or may be active such as a switchable resistor (33) that is not bridged during the first time interval and that is bridged during the second time interval or a switchable resistor that is bridged in response to a detection of a value of the current exceeding a threshold value or such as a part of a converter (63) that is controlled in response to a detection of a value of the current.

  • Patent number: 8110827
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a stack of layers of a substrate, with a basic layer, first and second electrode layers, and an organic light-emitting layer which is sandwiched between the first and the second electrode layers. At least a part of the basic layer is covered by a shielding structure that includes a plurality of lamella elements that extend sheet-like from the stack of layers in such a way, that the lamella elements guide light out of the light emitting device.

  • Patent number: 7766687
    Abstract: A connector connects first electrodes of circuits to pair of cables having different sizes, such as different sized conductors or different sized insulators around same sized conductors. The connector has two parts connected by a hinge. The two parts include recesses that form two different sized openings in a closed position of the connector, for receiving the different sized cables in a non-interchangeable way. Forks or pins of different sizes stick out from the recesses for contacting the conductors of the cables.
