  • Patent number: 6851996
    Abstract: A method for producing a display, in which a first electrode film is produced on a substrate, functional layers are then applied to this film, and a second electrode film is then produced on the functional layer. The first and/or second electrode film according to the invention is produced overall or structured on the substrate by means of a contact printing process.

  • Publication number: 20040251822
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent display is proposed in which the functional layers (20) are delimited by first strip-like partitions (10) so that large-area application of the functional layers becomes possible. The functional layers are on located on a first electrode layer (5A) on a substrate (1). A second electrode layer (25A) is located on the functional layers.

  • Publication number: 20040247778
    Abstract: A method is described for large-area application of at least two, for example, electroluminescent layers onto a substrate. In a process step A), spacer (5) is structured on the transparent substrate in such a way that, upon application of a second functional layer (11), contact between a first functional layer (10) already applied on the substrate and a part of a printing machine responsible for the transfer of the functional layers onto the substrate is avoided. In two other process steps B) and C), the first functional layer (10) and the second functional layer (15) are applied over a large area, for example, through large-area standard printing methods.

  • Publication number: 20040216625
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for continuous printing of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this connection, a substrate with or without coating is provided as strip material on a roll, and is fed through a device with movable screens for imprinting by means of screen printing.

  • Publication number: 20040217703
    Abstract: A planar electronic component has a functional layer with an optoelectronic or a circuit configuration between a substrate layer and a covering layer. A sealing frame or sealing ring is disposed between the substrate layer and the covering layer and connected to them by an integral joint surrounding the functional layer. The seal very largely protects the functional layer against hazardous external influences, in particular against moisture and oxygen. A mechanical connector, whose adhesive characteristics are matched to the materials of the covering layer and of the substrate, is provided in addition to the sealing ring. The connector fixes the substrate and covering layers mechanically with respect to one another, and may reduce the risk of partial or complete detachment in the event of deformation of the electronic component, in particular as a result of thermal expansion and/or mechanical loading.
