  • Patent number: 9070884
    Abstract: The present invention provides organic light emitting devices having a combined emission from at least two emissive materials, a fluorescent blue emissive material and a phosphorescent emissive material. The device may further comprise additional fluorescent or phosphorescent emissive materials. In preferred embodiments, the invention provides OLEDs having three different emissive materials—a red emissive material, a green emissive material and a blue emissive material. The invention provides a device architecture which is optimized for efficiency and lifetime by using a combination of fluorescent and phosphorescent emitters. Further, in preferred embodiments the device architecture provides a high color-stability of the light emission over a wide range of currents or luminances.

  • Patent number: 8040053
    Abstract: An organic light emitting device is provided. The device includes an anode and a cathode. A first emissive layer is disposed between the anode and the cathode. The first emissive layer includes a first non-emitting organic material, which is an organometallic material present in the first emissive layer in a concentration of at least 50 wt %. The first emissive layer also includes a first emitting organic material. A second emissive layer is disposed between the first emissive layer and the cathode, preferably, in direct contact with the first emissive layer. The second emissive material includes a second non-emitting organic material and a second emitting organic material. The first and second non-emitting materials, and the first and second emitting materials, are all different materials. A first non-emissive layer is disposed between the first emissive layer and the anode, and in direct contact with the first emissive layer. The first non- emissive layer comprises the first non-emissive organic material.

  • Publication number: 20090230750
    Abstract: Apparatus includes an inner tube affixed to a seatback and an outer tube affixed to an armrest and coaxially mounted over the inner tube. A substrate is affixed to the outer tube and a slave link is pivotally attached to the inner tube with a lock link pivotally attached to the slave link for reciprocal movement. A lock mechanism is movable between a locked position in which the lock mechanism frictionally engages the lock link and an unlocked position in which the lock link is free to slide relative to the lock mechanism. An adjustment lever moves the lock mechanism from the locked position into the unlocked position. A spring biases the lock mechanism into the locked position to hold the lock link and the armrest in a selected position.
