Abstract: A non-planar surface may be surface mounted to another surface using solder balls that may be modified to generate a planar surface for receiving the second surface. In one embodiment, the solder balls may be secured to an irregular surface and then scrapped to form a planar contacting surface. A second surface to be bonded to the first surface may then be attached to the planar contacting surface and the solder balls reflowed to create a surface mount.

Abstract: Organic light emitting material may be effectively passivated in organic light emitting device display manufacture by selectively applying an organic passivation material to the recently deposited organic light emitting material. By a selective deposition process, other areas of the display need not be immediately passivated. As a result, contact areas (and other areas which should not be passivated) may remain unpassivated during the manufacturing process. By using organic passivity materials, incompatibilities between the organic light material and the passivation material may be reduced. In many cases, it may be desirable to limit the temperatures that are applied during the curing process. In one embodiment, ultraviolet curing may be utilized.

Abstract: A composite structure including stacked layers of dielectric material hav a center conductor in the form of a cylindrical via which is surrounded by an annular dielectric region and an outer ground plane comprised of contiguous pairs of generally circular ground plane segments where each pair of ground plane segments are separated by a pair of spaces or gaps therebetween and wherein the gaps of adjoining layers are mutually oriented by a predetermined angle of rotation, preferably 90.degree..
