Abstract: A display device includes a plurality of Y display slices, each display slice having electronic structures, which include a one-dimensional array of X adjacent pixels that emit light from a face edge of the display slice in response to electrical power. The display slices are assembled in a layered arrangement to form an emissive face. Also included are control electrodes, power electrodes, data electrodes, and a connection structure for each display slice. Each connection structure connects at least (a) each of a plurality of groups of the corresponding display slice's pixels to a separate one of the control electrodes, (b) one or more of the power electrodes to at least one of the corresponding display slice's electronic structures, and (c) one or more of the data electrodes to at least one of the corresponding display slice's electronic structures.

Abstract: A relief (or flexographic) printing precursor has first and second radiation-sensitive layers, or a plurality of radiation-sensitive layers. The first radiation-sensitive layer is sensitive to a first imaging radiation having a first ?max. The second radiation-sensitive layer is disposed on the first radiation-sensitive layer and is sensitive to a second imaging radiation having a second ?max that differs from the first ?max by at least 25 nm. An infrared radiation ablatable layer can be present and is opaque or insensitive to the first and second imaging radiations and contains an infrared radiation absorbing compound. These relief printing precursors can be used to prepare flexographic printing plates, cylinders, or sleeves where the ablatable layer is used to form an integral mask on the element. Use of the invention provides a relief image without any loss in the strength of the small dots and can be carried out using multiple irradiation steps using the same apparatus.

Abstract: A display device having a hybrid drive including a substrate, a two-dimensional pixel array formed on the substrate, the pixels associated into a plurality of pixel groups. A separate set of group row electrodes and group column electrodes are connected to pixels in pixel groups, so that a single group row electrode together with a single group column electrode drives a single pixel. Two or more chiplets are located over the substrate within the pixel array, each chiplet associated with a pixel group and having connections to each of the associated group row electrodes and associated group column electrodes and having storage elements, the storage element storing a value representing a desired luminance for a pixel and the chiplet using such value to control the desired luminance of each pixel in its associated pixel group.

Abstract: A method for forming an organic electronic device, which method comprises the steps of: a) forming a negative image of a desired pattern on a substrate or device layer with a lift-off ink; b) coating a first device layer to be patterned on top of the negative image; c) coating one or more further device layers to be patterned on top of the first device layer to be patterned; and d) removing the lift-off ink and unwanted portions of the device layers above it, thereby leaving the desired pattern of device layers. The method allows the formation of a device structure wherein the device layers to be patterned are self-aligned. The method enables a multiplicity of layers to be patterned in a single set of printing and lift-off steps using one pattern which ensures the excellent vertical alignment of edges, which would be difficult to achieve by direct printing. Horizontal alignment can also be achieved. The size of the device features can be reduced below the actual printing resolution.

Abstract: This invention relates to organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and to methods for their manufacture. The invention provides an OLED element or display which enables contrast to be produced in an image. In accordance with the invention a layer of ink is patterned as a blocking layer between two OLED layers. The ink reduces or prevents conduction, i.e. movement of charge, between the two OLED layers in that area of the device. The ink may be dark in colour, e.g. black, to increase the contrast ratio of the OLED. The blocking layer is provided between any two layers in the OLED and blocks the charge movement in these areas. The blocking layer may comprise a multiplicity of ink dots, the density of which determines the extent to which conduction is hindered. The blocking layer may be produced as a “grey-scale” pattern wherein the density of dots is varied across the pattern.
