Patent number: 9552087Abstract: In a multi-layer body with a carrier and at least one conduction layer first areas and second areas are galvanically isolated from each other by third areas. In the third area sections are omitted from conductor traces and replaced by replacement pieces. The multi-layer body thereby has an optically homogeneous effect (e.g. is uniformly transparent or uniformly reflective).Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: PolyIC GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andreas Ullmann, Walter Fix, Manfred Walter, Merlin Welker, Jurgen Krumm, Mathias Maul, Toblias Menger

Patent number: 7843342Abstract: An organic electronic module has a clock generator having n organic switching elements connected in series. The output of the nth organic switching element is connected to the input of the first organic switching element. The outputs of two or more organic switching elements are connected to respective inputs of a first electronic circuit of the electronic module tapping off two or more clock signals such that a first clock signal for a first electronic circuit is tapped from the output of a first one of the switching elements and a second clock signal, phase-shifted with respect to the first clock signal, for the first electronic circuit is tapped from the output of a second switching element different than the first switching element.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2006Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Polyic GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andreas Ullmann, Alexander Knobloch, Merlin Welker, Walter Fix

Patent number: 7812343Abstract: A multilayer composite body has an electronic function, in particular, an electronic subassembly comprising a plurality of organic electronic components, such as transistors, diodes, capacitors and so on, having at least one common layer, e.g., a semiconductor layer and/or insulation layer, wherein the common layer may be superfluous in one or more of the components. There thus is provided a structure of an entire subassembly such as an RFID tag, wherein the entire tag with all of its components is implemented in one production process.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: PolyIC GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7589553Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic module having two or more organic circuit elements connected together to give a logic circuit, said organic circuit elements being made up of organic components, in particular organic field effect transistors. The logic circuit comprises at least one filter module (5), which has an input (53) connected to one of the organic logic circuit elements, and an output (55), and is designed to filter out from the signals present at the input (53) the spurious signals generated by different signal propagation times in the organic components of the logic circuit elements, and to provide a regenerated binary signal at the output (55).Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2006Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: PolyIC GmbH & Co.
