  • Stretchable display
    Patent number: 12730478
    Abstract: A display may have a stretchable portion with hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. A flexible interconnect region may be interposed between the hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. The hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands may include organic light-emitting diode (OLED) pixels. A conductive cutting structure may have an undercut that causes a discontinuity in a conductive OLED layer to mitigate lateral leakage. The conductive cutting structure may also be electrically connected to a cathode for the OLED pixels and provide a cathode voltage to the cathode. First and second inorganic passivation layers may be formed over the OLED pixels. Multiple discrete portions of an organic inkjet printed layer may be interposed between the first and second inorganic passivation layers.

  • Organic photodetectors for in-cell optical sensing
    Patent number: 11839133
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display includes an array of OLED pixels and an array of organic photodetector (OPD) pixels. An OLED pixel in the array of OLED pixels includes an OLED hole transport layer (HTL), an OLED electron transport layer (ETL), and an emissive layer positioned between the OLED HTL and the OLED ETL. An OPD pixel in the array of OPD pixels includes the OLED HTL, the OLED ETL, and an electron donor material positioned between the OLED HTL and the OLED ETL, wherein the OLED ETL functions as an electron acceptor material for the OPD pixel. In other embodiments, the OPD pixel may be configured differently.

  • Interlayers and associated systems, devices, and methods
    Patent number: 11362293
    Abstract: Embodiments related to interlayers (e.g., interlayers comprising a transition metal oxide, a transition metal oxynitride, and/or a transition metal nitride) and associated systems, devices (e.g., photovoltaic devices), and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system for exciton transfer includes a substrate including an inorganic semiconductor. An interlayer may be disposed on the substrate, and a layer including a material that undergoes singlet exciton fission when exposed to electromagnetic radiation may be disposed on the interlayer. The interlayer may be disposed between the substrate and the layer. In some embodiments, a method for manufacturing a system for exciton transfer involves depositing an interlayer onto a substrate that includes an inorganic semiconductor. The method may also include depositing a layer including a material that undergoes singlet exciton fission when exposed to electromagnetic radiation onto the interlayer.
