Organic Solid-state Devices (epo) Patents (Class 257/E25.008)
  • Patent number: 7504655
    Abstract: Multilayer anode structures (104) for electronic devices (100) such as polymer light-emitting diodes are described. The multilayer anodes include a high conductivity organic layer (114) adjacent to the photoactive layer (102) and a low conductivity organic layer (112) between the high conductivity organic layer and the anode's electrical connection layer (110). This anode structure provides polymer light emitting diodes which exhibit high brightness, high efficiency and long operating lifetime. The multilayer anode structure of this invention provides sufficiently high resistivity to avoid cross-talk in passively addressed pixellated polymer emissive displays; the multilayer anode structure of this invention simultaneously provides long lifetime for pixellated polymer emissive displays.

  • Patent number: 7476893
    Abstract: A vertical organic field effect transistor that includes an active cell and a capacitor that share a common source electrode. The active cell includes a semiconductor layer that is sandwiched between a drain electrode and the common source electrode. The capacitor includes a dielectric layer that is sandwiched between a gate electrode and the common source electrode. The common source electrode allows control of electrical current between the source and drain electrodes by controlling the electrical potential that is applied to the gate electrode.

  • Patent number: 7061012
    Abstract: Provided is a display panel comprised of a white color organic luminescent element and a color filter for full color implementation, wherein a substrate in which an organic luminescent element is formed and a color filter are assembled and fixed to face each other with an adhesive pattern therebetween, and liquid oil is filled between the color filter and the substrate inside of the adhesive pattern so as to block external moisture or oxygen, so that deterioration of luminous characteristics due to the external moisture or oxygen may be prevented by encapsulating the organic luminescent element and the color filter with the liquid oil, which leads to enhance reliability and stability of the element, and also allows the encapsulation process to be performed with relatively simple steps and low cost.
