Abstract: A method of transferring organic material from a donor element to a substrate includes providing a radiation source; and selecting the power of the radiation applied to the donor element by the radiation source to cause the transfer of organic material to the substrate wherein the time that one or more positions of the donor element receives radiation is greater than 1 millisecond.

Abstract: A method of securing a flexible donor sheet, before or after organic material has been transferred to such sheet to facilitate its mounting, includes forming a plurality of spaced apart openings in the sheet adjacent to opposite edges of the sheet, and providing a rigid frame for receiving the sheet having a plurality of tabs, each one of the tabs corresponding to an opening in the sheet and arranged so that an edge portion of the sheet adjacent to the opening is placed under its corresponding tab.

Abstract: A method of delivering donor sheets to be subsequently processed in the process of making an organic light-emitting device including providing a roll of a flexible substrate which can either include organic layers or subsequently be coated with organic layers and unrolling a predetermined length of donor and cutting the donor sheet to a size suitable for subsequent use in depositing organic layers. The method also includes transferring the cut donor sheet into a sheet receiver onto a frame and securing the donor sheet to the sheet receiver and delivering the sheet receiver and the secured donor sheet to a position to be further processed.

Abstract: A method of operating on a flexible donor sheet, before or after organic material has been transferred to such sheet, to form a rigid edge frame to facilitate its mounting, including cutting notches in each of the four corners of the sheet, and folding the four notched edge portions of the sheet and securing the folded portions to the main body of the sheet to form at least four rigid edges so as to provide a rigid edge frame which can be readily mounted in an OLED device manufacturing process.

Abstract: A computer-implemented building design and modeling system, method, and computer program product are provided. In one example, the computer program product includes computer executable instructions for processing by a computer system. The instructions include instructions for creating instances of parametric objects in a spatial database, where each of the parametric objects represents a construction component of a structure to be modeled and includes a user interface for enabling a user to input design data for the parametric object. The instructions also include instructions for initiating assembly of the parametric objects to create a partial building model. The parametric objects include ordinary elements and massing elements, the massing elements being capable of placing instances of other objects into the spatial database and subsequently passing data to and receiving data from the placed objects.
