  • Publication number: 20230411168
    Abstract: Provided is a device including a fin structure and methods for forming such a device. A method includes forming an initial fin having a sidewall. Further, the method includes forming an additional layer of fin material over the sidewall, wherein the additional layer has a thickness. Also, the method includes adjusting the thickness of the additional layer of fin material to form a fin structure with a desired critical dimension.

  • Patent number: 11164911
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels formed from organic light-emitting diodes and thin-film transistor circuitry. The organic light-emitting diodes may be interposed between a substrate (30) and a cover layer (70). The organic light-emitting diodes may be white light-emitting diodes (26) that emit white light that is filtered through a color filter array (76) to produce colored light. The color filter array may be located above or below the array of light-emitting diodes. A microcavity may be formed between the substrate (30) and each light-emitting diode (26). The microcavity may be formed from an anode (36) in the light-emitting diode and first (86) and second layers (78) with different refractive indices. The low-refractive-index layer may be formed from a color filter in the color filter array. Light from the light-emitting diode may resonate within the microcavity beneath each light-emitting diode before exiting the display as colored light.

  • Publication number: 20170125735
    Abstract: An electroluminescent device is provided. The electroluminescent device includes a substrate or superstrate, an optical out-coupling structure, a first electrode, a functional stack, and a second electrode. The substrate has an outer surface and an opposite inner surface. The optical out-coupling structure situates on the outer surface. The first electrode is disposed on the inner surface. The first electrode is transparent and has a refractive index equal to or less than 1.7. The functional stack is disposed on the first electrode and includes a light emitting layer. The light emitting layer contains an emitting material having preferential horizontal emitting dipoles with a horizontal dipole ratio being equal to or larger than 70%. The second electrode is disposed on the functional stack.
