Abstract: Methods of preparing photovoltaic modules, as well as related components, systems, and devices, are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention discloses for the first time how an organic component can be produced in a process designed entirely as a roll-to-roll process. The advantage of the continuous production method described here is, further, that the active regions of the active semiconductor layer are not exposed to unprotected solvents and/or solvent vapors at any time during the production process. This makes it possible to produce a high-quality organic component.

Abstract: In a method for producing electrochromic displays (1, 10) the functional layers, such as the electrodes (3, 4, 6) and electrochromic layer (5) are configured in a printing process. The method enables a particularly cost-effective and flexible production of the display.

Abstract: The invention concerns an organic photovoltaic component with a novel encapsulation, wherein the invention for the first time discloses packaging for organic solar cells that includes a low-cost film composite comprising a metal portion. The packaging meets high requirements, particularly with respect to high barrier properties against oxygen and water vapor encapsulation without or with only minimal adhesive joints, since the encapsulation can be welded/soldered to the substrate or the bottom electrode, integrated lead-through of electrical connections, including adhesive-bonded, soldered and/or welded connections.

Abstract: The measuring device (5), for a linear non-contact recording of the position of a movable object, comprises a field device (6), generating a magnetic field, which undergoes a displacement (x), from a reference position (xo), along a measuring run (2), corresponding to the movement of the object. The measuring run (2) is formed from a strip-like track (3) with magneto-resistive properties, contacting on the longitudinal side with resistance tracks (4a, 4b) made from normal resistive material. Connectors (A to D) are provided at the ends of the resistive tracks (4a, 4b) at which measured signals correlated to the position (x) of the field device (6) can be tapped.

Abstract: A programmable display unit for displaying barcodes or, as the case may be, a radio transponder coupled to a programmable display unit of the aforementioned type. The display unit has for the purpose a multiplicity of strip-shaped display elements arranged substantially parallel to and at a predetermined distance from each other. Each strip-shaped display element is controlled independently and can be switched independently. A respectively predetermined number of display elements are used for representing a strip in the barcode. A respectively predetermined number of display elements are analogously used for representing a space in the barcode. The barcode requiring to be represented is composed of a multiplicity of strips and spaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to an organic photovoltaic component, in particular an organic solar cell, in which one or more layers is (are) structured.

Abstract: The invention describes a method of preparing a substrate for the fabrication of organic semiconductor components, including the steps of: affixing a substrate (2) to a carrier (12) by means of an adhesive film; preparing the substrate (2); and canceling the adhesive action of the adhesive film so that the substrate (2) can be separated from the carrier (12).
