Abstract: A super thin film is composed of an organic compound having a sulfur-atom-containing substituent in a specific structure, such as mercapto, sulfide and disulfide groups. Among them, the most preferred one is an alkyl mercapto group represented by —(CH2)nSH in which n is an integer of 1-10. The super thin film is then introduced into the interface between at least one electrode and an organic layer being in contact therewith for receiving carriers from the electrode and delivering the carriers to the organic layer to provide organic EL devices and EL panels. The compound also has a molecular structure similar to that of an organic material at forms the organic layer. The compound can suppress the generation of dark spots and the increase of power consumption. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture organic EL devices with an excellent durability and a smaller increase in power consumption and also panels using the devices.

Abstract: A field emission display having a base plate which has a focus ring structure substantially planar with the extraction grid. The field emission display base plate is fabricated on a substrate having a cathode including an. emitter tip formed thereon by depositing a first insulating layer, a first conductive layer over the first insulating layer, etching the first conductive layer, depositing a second insulating layer over the etched first conductive layer, and depositing a second conductive or focus ring layer over the second insulating layer. A second selective etching may be formed to further define the gate and focus ring structures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a filter which includes a number of ducts formed by a number of deformable foils. The foils have electrically insulating outer sides, with electrically conductive bands which are separated from one another by electrically insulating bands. The electrically conductive bands on a first outer side of the foil are arranged so as to be offset relative to the electrically conductive bands on the second outer side of the foil. The foils are stacked. The oppositely situated electrically insulating bands of the oppositely situated foils are interconnected. The foils are ultimately moved away from one another in a direction transversely of the foils in order to form the ducts between the interconnected foils. At least one detached, electrically insulating section is situated in a prolongation of at least one electrically conductive band and is not connected to an oppositely situated foil.

Abstract: An assembly for recording a radiation image of an elongate body comprises a plurality of cassettes each conveying a recording member and each having a length that is smaller than the length of the elongate body. Supporting devices are arranged for holding the plurality of cassettes in a staggered arrangement so that the length of the staggered arrangement is at least equal to the length of the elongate body. This assembly is exposed to the radiation image of an elongate body. By use of partial images which are read from each of the recording members, the entire image of the elongate body is reconstructed.
