  • Publication number: 20030037677
    Abstract: An effective desiccant for use in a package which has a material including at least in part solid particles of one or more materials, at least one of such materials having an average particle size range 0.001 to 0.1 micrometers to provide a high rate of water absorption and to provide an equilibrium minimum humidity level lower than a humidity level to which a highly moisture sensitive electronic device is sensitive within a sealed enclosure.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6470594
    Abstract: A highly moisture-sensitive element and method of making such element includes an encapsulation enclosure encapsulating all of the highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices on a substrate and a sealing material positioned between the substrate and the encapsulation enclosure to form a complete seal between the substrate and the encapsulation enclosure around each highly moisture-sensitive electronic device or around groups of highly moisture-sensitive electronic devices, wherein the substrate or encapsulation enclosure, or both, contain vent holes and vent hole seal material or wherein the seal material contains gaps prior to spacing the substrate and the encapsulation enclosure within a predetermined range and the gaps are filled in by spreading the sealing material.

  • Patent number: 6111357
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent (EL) display panel is disclosed which has a protective cover sealed thereon with a radiation-cured perimeter seal. The organic EL display panel is formed on a radiation-transmissive substrate, and includes at least one metallized leader which is in electrical contact with at least one anode electrode or with at least one cathode electrode. The metallized leader has a patterned seal zone which defines radiation-transmissive apertures. A perimeter seal band is formed over the substrate and extends through the patterned seal zone of the metallized leader. A protective cover has a perimeter seal flange which mates with the perimeter seal band. A bead of a radiation-curable resin is in contact with the seal flange and with the display panel at the perimeter seal band.

  • Patent number: 5646674
    Abstract: A laser print head structure includes a laser diode array (14) coupled to a heat sink (10). A cylindrical lens element (20) is aligned with the laser diode array and bonded to the heat sink. A binary optical element (22) is then aligned with the cylindrical lens element and attached to the heat sink through the use of flexures (24). The use of the flexures permits the binary optical element to "float" in the plane of the laser diode array, thereby maintaining alignment even when the thermal expansion characteristics of the binary optical element are different from the thermal expansion characteristics of the heat sink. Anti-wicking slots (18) are provided in the heat sink at locations between the bonding points of the cylindrical lens element and the laser diode array. The anti-wicking slots, through capillary action, prevent excess adhesive from wicking along the cylindrical lens element and onto the facets of the lasers in the laser diode array.

  • Patent number: 5012380
    Abstract: A flexible magnetic data storage disk with a ferromagnetic surveillance ring-shaped marker integrally bonded to the disk substrate around the central aperture. A series of slits are formed in the disk substrate under the marker to serve as "tear initiators" if a user attempts to remove the surveillance marker thus rendering the disk unusable and thereby protecting the data on the disk from unauthorized removal from a secure area.
