Patents by Inventor Egbert Höfling

Egbert Höfling has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Electronic device
    Patent number: 10153453
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a connection carrier having a cover surface, a first electric connection point and a second electric connection point, and an organic active area. A first electrode interconnects in an electrically conductive manner the active area and the first electric connection point. An encapsulation layer protects the active area against humidity and atmospheric gases. The electronic component can be contacted from the outside by the electric connection points and the encapsulation layer is in direct contact, in places, with the connection carrier.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 11, 2018
    Assignee: OSRAM OLED GmbH

  • Organic light-emitting diode and device comprising an organic light-emitting diode
    Patent number: 9240434
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a light-emitting diode includes a carrier and an organic layer sequence with an active layer. A mirror layer and electrical contact regions are located on a connection side of the carrier. The contact regions are provided for electrically contacting the organic layer sequence. Electrical dummy regions are located on the connection side. The dummy regions are electrically insulated from the contact regions. The mirror layer is present in the dummy regions and in the contact regions. At least two of the dummy regions are arranged in such a way that base areas of these dummy regions cannot be congruently superimposed merely by arbitrary rotation of the carrier relative to a center axis of the carrier perpendicular to the connection side.
