  • Patent number: 9839940
    Abstract: A tool for depositing multilayer coatings onto a substrate. The tool includes a housing defining a vacuum chamber connected to a vacuum source, deposition stations each configured to deposit a layer of multilayer coating on the substrate, a curing station, and a contamination reduction device. At least one of the deposition stations is configured to deposit an inorganic layer, while at least one other deposition station is configured to deposit an organic layer. In one tool configuration, the substrate may travel back and forth through the tool as many times as needed to achieve the desired number of layers of multilayer coating. In another, the tool may include numerous housings adjacently spaced such that the substrate may make a single unidirectional pass. The contamination reduction device may be configured as one or more migration control chambers about at least one of the deposition stations, and further includes cooling devices, such as chillers, to reduce the presence of vaporous layer precursors.

  • Patent number: 9525155
    Abstract: A gas and moisture permeation barrier stack deposited by both sputtering and atomic layer deposition techniques. In one embodiment, the barrier stack comprises a bottom barrier layer deposited on a substrate by sputtering and a top barrier layer deposited on the sputtered layer by atomic layer deposition. In one embodiment, the sputtered barrier layer has a water vapor transmission rate of about 10?5 gm/m2·day or lower, and the top barrier layer improves the water vapor transmission rate of the resulting two-layer barrier stack to about 10?6 gm/m2·day or lower.

  • Patent number: 9401491
    Abstract: An encapsulated device achieves good water vapor transmission rates while reducing the amount of time needed in an inert environment, and thereby reducing the size of the deposition tool used to encapsulate the device. The encapsulated device includes a first barrier layer deposited directly on the device, and a first adhesive and first laminate on the first barrier layer. The laminate comprises a polymeric substrate and a second barrier layer on the substrate. The first barrier layer has a water vapor transmission rate suitable to allow lamination of the laminate on the first barrier layer in a non-inert environment. A method of making an encapsulated device comprises depositing a first barrier layer on the device in an inert environment, applying an adhesive on the first barrier layer in a non-inert environment, and applying a first laminate on the first adhesive in the non-inert environment.

  • Patent number: 9368749
    Abstract: A patterned multilayered barrier film for protecting devices from permeation of moisture and gases includes a substrate, a first layer on the substrate acting as a barrier layer, a second layer on the first layer and acting as a decoupling or planarization layer, and a third layer on the second layer, and acting as a barrier layer. Each of the first and third layers has an area greater than an area of the second layer such that the second layer is completely enclosed between the first and third layers defining an edge perimeter surrounding the second layer that is completely sealed between the first and third layers. The patterned multilayered barrier film may be cut into individual barrier units between portions of the second layer such that portions of the second layer of each individual barrier unit are completely edge-sealed between the first and third layers.

  • Patent number: 9362530
    Abstract: Methods of making an integrated barrier stack and optical enhancement layer for protecting and improving the light out coupling of encapsulated white OLEDs are described. The method includes optimizing the thickness of various layers including one or more of the plasma protective layer, the initial organic layer, the initial inorganic barrier layer, and the inorganic barrier layer and polymeric decoupling layer for the barrier stack. The thickness is optimized for at least one of total efficiency, or intentional color point shift so that the encapsulated OLED has enhanced light outcoupling compared to the bare OLED.

  • Patent number: 9337446
    Abstract: Methods of making an integrated barrier stack and optical enhancement layer for protecting and improving the light out coupling of an encapsulated OLED are described. The method includes optimizing the thickness of various layers including the initial inorganic barrier layer and the inorganic barrier layer and polymeric decoupling layer for the barrier stack. The thickness is optimized for at least one of maximum efficiency, minimum dispersion, or minimum spectral shift so that the encapsulated OLED has enhanced light outcoupling compared to the bare OLED.

  • Patent number: 9259513
    Abstract: An implantable catheter is provided that may be disinfected without removal from the body of a patient, using a photocatalytic method to activate a reaction on the catheter surface that generates oxidizing agents in the form of Reactive Oxygen Species (“ROS”) and thus destroy microorganisms in a biofilm that is present or forming. A catheter system includes the implantable catheter, a light source, and a source of power operably connected to the light source. Methods are also provided for disinfecting the implantable catheter in vivo.

  • Publication number: 20150351167
    Abstract: An encapsulated device includes a barrier laminate on the device, and adhesive between the barrier laminate and the device, and an edge sealing member at an edge of the encapsulated device. The edge sealing member may be embedded in the adhesive, may enclose the adhesive between the barrier laminate and the device, or may cover an edge portion of the barrier laminate and an edge portion of the adhesive. A method of making an encapsulated device includes forming an edge sealing member by attaching it to an edge of the device, depositing it adjacent the edge of the device, or covering an edge of an encapsulated volume defined by the edge of the device with the edge sealing member. The method further includes applying an adhesive on the device, and applying a barrier laminate on the adhesive.
