  • Patent number: 8907365
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode comprising a light extraction substructure and a diode superstructure is provided. The light extraction substructure comprises a light expulsion matrix distributed over discrete light extraction waveguide elements and a waveguide surface of the glass substrate. The light expulsion matrix is distributed at varying thicknesses to enhance the planarity of a diode superstructure-engaging side of the light extraction substructure and to provide light expulsion sites at the waveguide element termination points of the discrete light extraction waveguide elements.

  • Publication number: 20140234542
    Abstract: A method for inhibiting oxygen and moisture degradation of a device and the resulting device are described herein. To inhibit the oxygen and moisture degradation of the device, a low liquidus temperature (LLT) material which typically has a low low liquidus temperature (or in specific embodiments a low glass transition temperature) is used to form a barrier layer on the device. The LLT material can be, for example, tin fluorophosphate glass, chalcogenide glass, tellurite glass and borate glass. The LLT material can be deposited onto the device by, for example, sputtering, evaporation, laser-ablation, spraying, pouring, frit-deposition, vapor-deposition, dip-coating, painting or rolling, spin-coating or any combination thereof. Defects in the LLT material from the deposition step can be removed by a consolidation step (heat treatment), to produce a pore-free, gas and moisture impenetrable protective coating on the device. Although many of the deposition methods are possible with common glasses (i.e.

  • Publication number: 20140202984
    Abstract: Methods for fabricating a nanopillared substrate surface include applying a polymer solution containing an amphiphilic block copolymer and a hydrophilic homopolymer to a substrate surface. The amphiphilic block copolymer and the hydrophilic homopolymer in the polymer solution self-assemble on the substrate surface to form a self-assembled polymer layer having hydrophobic domains adjacent to the substrate surface and hydrophilic domains extending into the self-assembled polymer layer. At least a portion of the hydrophilic domains may be removed to form a plurality of pores in the exposed surface of the self-assembled polymer layer. A protective layer may be deposited on the exposed surface as a mask for etching through the plurality of pores to form through-holes. A nanopillar-forming material may be deposited onto the substrate surface via the through-holes. Then, the remaining portion of the self-assembled polymer layer may be removed to expose a nanopillared substrate surface.

  • Publication number: 20140151742
    Abstract: Transparent glass-to-glass hermetic seals are formed by providing a low melting temperature sealing glass along a sealing interface between two glass substrates and irradiating the interface with laser radiation. Absorption by the sealing glass and induced transient absorption by the glass substrates along the sealing interface causes localized heating and melting of both the sealing glass layer and the substrate materials, which results in the formation of a glass-to-glass weld. Due to the transient absorption by the substrate material, the sealed region is transparent upon cooling.

  • Publication number: 20130323466
    Abstract: Described herein are glass substrates having oleophobic surfaces that are substantially free of features that form a reentrant geometry. The surfaces can include a plurality of gas-trapping features, extending from the surface to a depth below the surface, that are substantially isolated from each other. The gas-trapping features are capable of trapping gas below any droplets that are contacted with the surface so as to prevent wetting of the surface by the droplets.
