Abstract: An information medium includes: a base body, which has a surface that is printable at least in sections with a printing layer for displaying information. An adhesion-promoting layer is arranged on at least some sections of the surface. In an embodiment, the base body is inorganic. In an embodiment, the adhesion-promoting layer includes a molecular compound with a first functional group for binding to the surface and a second functional group for binding to the printing layer.

Abstract: An optoelectronic component may include at least one light-emitting semiconductor layer sequence and at least one luminescence conversion layer having a transparent conductive oxide and at least one dopant for forming luminescence centers.

Abstract: The invention is a sealed thick film dielectric display where the display comprises a thick film dielectric display structure and an adhesive layer provided over the display structure. The invention also provides a seal where the seal comprises an adhesive layer bonded to the underside of a cover plate and to the surface of a thick film dielectric electroluminescent display. The seal substantially inhibits the exposure of display components to atmospheric contaminants.

Abstract: A novel and improved composite thick film dielectric structure is provided to improve the operating stability of phosphors used in thick dielectric ac electroluminescent displays. The novel structure comprises one or more aluminum oxide layers disposed between the composite thick dielectric layer and the bottom of the phosphor layer of these displays.

Abstract: The structure presented herein provides a base structure for semiconductor devices, in particular for III-V semiconductor devices or for a combination of III-V and Group IV semiconductor devices. The fabrication method for a base substrate comprises a buffer layer, a nucleation layer, a Group IV substrate and possibly a dopant layer. There are, in a general aspect, two growth steps: firstly the growth of a lattice-matched III-V material on a Group IV substrate, followed by secondly the growth of a lattice-mismatched III-V layer. The first layer, called the nucleation layer, is lattice-matched or closely lattice-matched to the Group IV substrate while the following layer, the buffer layer, deposited on top of the nucleation layer, is lattice-mismatched to the nucleation layer. The nucleation layer can further be used as a dopant source to the Group IV substrate, creating a p-n junction in the substrate through diffusion. Alternatively a separate dopant layer may be introduced.
