  • Protective coatings for organic electronic devices made using atomic layer deposition and molecular layer deposition techniques
    Patent number: 9660205
    Abstract: Coatings are applied on a flexible substrate using atomic layer deposition and molecular layer deposition methods. The coatings have thickness of up to 100 nanometers. The coatings include layers of an inorganic material such as alumina, which are separated by flexibilizing layers that are deposited with covalent chemical linkage to the inorganic material and which are one or more of silica deposited by an atomic layer deposition process; an organic polymer that is deposited by a molecular layer deposition process, or a hybrid organic-inorganic polymer that is deposited by an molecular layer deposition process.
    Type: Grant

  • Transparent Polycarbonate Elements With Alumina Coatings
    Publication number: 20160137798
    Abstract: Polycarbonate elements are coated with an ultrathin alumina coating. These elements are highly resistant to yellowing when exposed to electromagnetic radiation of about 25 to 700 nm in wavelength. Accordingly, the coated polycarbonate elements are useful component of a wide variety of devices, such as aircraft, vehicles, optical devices and LED devices.
