  • Publication number: 20080164807
    Abstract: In order to improve the fill factor as well as the efficiency for a structural element on the basis of an organic light-emitting diode facility, a display is proposed comprising a substrate, a first electrode (130) nearest to the substrate, a second electrode (160) away from the substrate and at least one light-emitting organic layer (150) arranged between both electrodes. The light emitted in the active zone transmits through one of the two electrodes whereby the first electrode is pixel-structured and an isolation layer (150) is arranged between neighbouring pixels. The display according to the invention is characterized in that the isolation layer (150) is optically coupled with the light-emitting layer (150), and has optically effective light-scattering and fill factor increasing heterogeneities (180, 190), whereby the isolation layer is micro-structured to match the pixel structure of the first electrode and is processed onto this.

  • Patent number: 7151007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of doped organic semiconductor materials having an increased charge carrier density and effective charge carrier mobility, by doping with a dopant, a process in which after mixing the dopant into the organic semiconductor material, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen or hydroxyl radicals are split off and at least one electron is transferred to the semiconductor material or from the semiconductor material. The process is distinguished by the fact that an uncharged organic compound is used as dopant. Doped organic semiconductor materials are obtainable by one of the processes. The semiconductor materials are distinguished by the fact that the doped layer contains cations of at least one organic compound, the uncharged form of the organic compound being unstable in air.
