  • Publication number: 20250155787
    Abstract: An illumination system includes a micro-LED array having a plurality of individually addressable diodes, a concentrator array overlying an output of the micro-LED array and configured to decrease a numerical aperture of light emitted by the array, and a non-emissive display panel arranged to receive light from the concentrator array.

  • Patent number: 9274905
    Abstract: A computer system has a managing server for managing one or more managed nodes. The managed nodes have media encoded with test executables executable on their respective nodes. The test executables can check configuration data for the node and/or check whether external resources are accessible from the node. The managing server issues commands to run the test executables and collects test results returned by the test executables.

  • Patent number: 9231211
    Abstract: A method is provided for forming a multi-color OLED device that includes providing a substrate, coating the substrate with a fluorinated photoresist solution to form a first photo-patternable layer and exposing it to produce a first pattern of exposed fluorinated photoresist material and a second pattern of unexposed fluorinated photoresist material, developing the photo-patternable layer with a fluorinated solvent to remove the second pattern of unexposed fluorinated photoresist material without removing the first pattern of exposed fluorinated photoresist material, depositing a first organic light-emitting material over the substrate to form a first organic light-emitting layer for emitting a first color of light and applying the first pattern of exposed fluorinated photoresist material to control the removal of a portion of the first organic light-emitting layer.

  • Publication number: 20150364685
    Abstract: A method for forming a device includes providing a substrate; depositing a single fluorinated photo-patternable layer over the substrate; forming a first and a second active layer over the substrate; and applying the photo-patternable layer to form a first pattern within the first active layer and a second, different pattern within the second active layer. Particular examples disclosed in the present disclosure can be employed to form thin film electronics devices, including OLED devices and TFTs with a reduced number of photolithographic steps.

  • Patent number: 9159925
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for patterning materials that are or are on top of chemically sensitive organic semiconductors. The method employs imprint lithography and a bilayer resist structure that simultaneously protects lower layers from harmful solvents and allows for cleaner liftoff by producing an undercut geometry to the resist pattern.

  • Publication number: 20140322850
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming an organic device having a patterned conductive layer that includes providing a substrate, depositing organic materials over the substrate to form one or more organic layers, coating a photoresist solution over the one or more organic layers to form a photo-patternable layer, wherein the solution includes a fluorinated photoresist material and a first fluorinated solvent, selectively exposing portions of the photo-patternable layer to radiation to form a first pattern of exposed fluorinated photoresist material and a second pattern of unexposed fluorinated photoresist material, exposing the substrate to a second fluorinated solvent to develop the photo-patternable layer, removing the second pattern of unexposed fluorinated photoresist material without removing the first pattern of exposed fluorinated photoresist material, coating one or more conductive layers over the one or more organic layers and removing a portion of the one or more of the conductive laye
