Abstract: A semiconductor device including: a substrate and an organic semiconductor material coupled to the substrate at an interface therebetween. The substrate has a first thermal expansion coefficient and the organic semiconductor material has a second thermal expansion coefficient that is different from the first thermal expansion coefficient. The difference between the first thermal expansion coefficient and the second thermal expansion coefficient causes a tensile stress in a plane parallel to the interface to be transferred from the substrate to the organic semiconductor material through the interface. This tensile stress in the plane parallel to the interface causes compression of the organic semiconductor material in a direction normal to the interface.

Abstract: A cascaded light emitting device. The cascaded light emitting device includes: a base electrode formed of a base electrode material and electrically coupled to a base voltage lead; a top electrode layer formed of a top electrode material and electrically coupled to a top voltage lead; a number of electroluminescent layers arranged between and electrically coupled to the base electrode and top electrode layer; and at least one middle electrode layer formed of a middle electrode material. Each of the middle electrodes is coupled between two juxtaposed electroluminescent layers. The electroluminescent layers include a mixed conductor that luminesces with a peak wavelength.

Abstract: A semiconductor device including an organic semiconductor material coupled to a substrate at an interface between the two components. The substrate has a first thermal expansion coefficient. The organic semiconductor material has a second thermal expansion coefficient that is different from the first thermal expansion coefficient. A mechanical stress is transferred from the substrate to the organic semiconductor through the interface, the mechanical stress being related to the difference between the first thermal expansion coefficient and the second thermal expansion coefficient.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure including an insulator layer formed of a first polymer. The structure also includes an organic semiconductor layer formed of a second polymer. The polymers self-assemble into a well-ordered co-polymer structure with the semiconductor layer positioned adjacent the insulator layer. The structure may be an organic, thin-film semiconductor device including, without limitation, a transistor, a multi-gate transistor, a thyristor, and the like. Also disclosed is a process of manufacturing the semiconductor structure.

Abstract: An electronic typewriter has a function of making a rectangular frame, which is composed of a horizontal line and a vertical line. To make a frame in the course of the sequential input of characters, an operator moves the printing position to the upper left vertex of the frame that is to be printed, and then, the operator depresses a specific key, which is called frame key, when the printing position arrives at the upper left vertex of the frame that is to be printed. After the operator puts in characters or spaces that are to be inserted in the frame, the operator moves the printing point to the lower right vertex of the frame and the operator then depresses the frame key again. By the operations of twice depressing the frame key, the printing position data for making the frame is taken in. The electronic typewriter then calculates both the starting and ending positions of the segments that compose the frame.
