  • Patent number: 10559753
    Abstract: We describe a method for reducing a parasitic resistance at an interface between a conducting electrode region and an organic semiconductor in a thin film transistor, the method comprising: providing a solution comprising a dopant for doping said semiconductor, and depositing said solution onto said semiconductor and/or said conducting electrode region to selectively dope said semiconductor adjacent said interface between said conducting electrode region and said semiconductor, wherein depositing said solution comprises inkjet-printing said solution.

  • Patent number: 9337426
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an organic electronic device using ink jet printing in swathes, comprises depositing an ink into a first set of locations in a column in a first print pass; wherein the first set of locations is less than a total number of locations in the column; and depositing an ink into a second set of locations in the column in a subsequent print pass; wherein the second set of locations is less than a total number of locations in the column. Preferably the number of nozzles used to fill all locations in a column is equal to the number of print passes needed to print the column. All locations in the swathe are printed after all print passes using a regular repeating randomized pattern, such that be ensured that print locations are not under filled, or over filled.

  • Patent number: 9136477
    Abstract: An organic light emissive device, which comprises: an anode; a cathode; and an organic light emissive region between the anode and the cathode, which region comprises a polymeric electroluminescent material; wherein the emission from the polymeric electroluminescent material is color shifted by the presence of a color shifting unit in the polymer.

  • Patent number: 9111885
    Abstract: An electronic device comprising: an electronic substrate comprising circuit elements; a double bank well-defining structure disposed over the electronic substrate, the double bank well-defining structure comprising a first layer of insulating material and a second layer of insulating material thereover, the second layer of insulating material having a lower wettability than the first layer of insulating material; and organic semiconductive material disposed in wells defined by the double bank well-defining structure.

  • Patent number: 9006715
    Abstract: A method of making an electronic device comprising a double bank well-defining structure, which method comprises: providing an electronic substrate; depositing a first insulating material on the substrate to form a first insulating layer; depositing a second insulating material on the first insulating layer to form a second insulating layer; removing a portion of the second insulating layer to expose a portion of the first insulating layer and form a second well-defining bank; depositing a resist on the second insulating layer and on a portion of the exposed first insulating layer; removing the portion of the first insulating layer not covered by the resist, to expose a portion of the electronic substrate and form a first well-defining bank within the second well-defining bank; and removing the resist. The method can provide devices with reduced leakage currents.
