  • Publication number: 20070237983
    Abstract: Light emitting polymers can include a plurality of arylene monomeric units and a plurality of soft segment units independently selected from soft segment end caps; soft segment side chains coupled to a portion, but not all, of the arylene monomeric units; internal soft segment monomeric units; and combinations thereof. These light emitting polymers can be used in forming electroluminescent devices or other articles.

  • Publication number: 20070128383
    Abstract: A thermal transfer donor element is provided which comprises a support, a light-to-heat conversion layer, an interlayer, and a thermal transfer layer. When the above donor element is brought into contact with a receptor and imagewise irradiated, an image is obtained which is free from contamination by the light-to-heat conversion layer. The construction and process of this invention is useful in making colored images including applications such as color proofs and color filter elements.

  • Publication number: 20050287315
    Abstract: A thermal transfer donor element is provided which includes a support, light-to-heat conversion layer, interlayer, and thermal transfer layer. When the donor element is brought into contact with a receptor and imagewise irradiated, a portion of the transfer layer is transferred to the receptor. The relative surface texture of the layers can be at least partially controlled, prior to imaging of the donor element, for desired effects in the resulting receptor device. The construction and process of the donor element is useful in making colored images including applications such as color proofs, color filter elements, and organic light emitting displays.

  • Publication number: 20050116621
    Abstract: An electroluminescent device, and a method of making an electroluminescent device that includes one or more color conversion elements is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes forming an electroluminescent element on a substrate, where the electroluminescent element is capable of emitting light in a narrow band. The method further includes selectively thermally transferring a plurality of color conversion elements to the electroluminescent element. In another embodiment, the method includes forming an electroluminescent element on a substrate, where the electroluminescent element is capable of emitting UV light. The method further includes selectively thermally transferring a plurality of color conversion elements to the electroluminescent element.
