Abstract: An OLED device having pillars with cross section that is wider on the top. The pillars structure a conductive layer during deposition into distinct portions located between the pillars and on the top of the pillars. The pillars are formed by patterning a single photosensitive material which is inert to the chemicals used to deposit the organic functional layers of the OLED device. By using such pillars, the electrodes can be formed without damaging organic functional layers while achieving high resolution.

Abstract: Disclosed is a light-emitting diode chip comprising a semiconductor layer sequence suitable for emitting primary electromagnetic radiation and further comprising a converter layer that is applied to at least one main face of the semiconductor layer sequence and comprises at least one phosphor suitable for converting a portion of the primary radiation into secondary radiation, at least a portion of the secondary radiation and at least a portion of the unconverted primary radiation overlapping to form a mixed radiation with a resulting color space. The converter layer is purposefully structured to adjust a dependence of the resulting color space on viewing angle. Also disclosed is a method of making a light-emitting diode chip in which a converter layer is purposefully structured.

Abstract: An encapsulation for a device is disclosed. In one embodiment, spacer particles (270) are selectively located in the device region. The spacer particles (270) prevent a cap mounted on the substrate (460) from contacting the active components, thereby protecting them from being damaged.

Abstract: An encapsulation for a device is disclosed. Spacer particles are randomly located in the device region to prevent a cap mounted on the substrate from contacting the active components, thereby protecting them from damage.

Abstract: An encapsulation for an electrical device is disclosed. The encapsulation comprises plastic substrates which are laminated onto the surface of the electrical device. The use of laminated plastics is particularly useful for flexible electrical devices such as organic LEDs.

Abstract: The invention provides for the formation of thin devices having an overall thickness which is less than the width of the sealing frame used to mount the cap. The formation of thin devices is facilitated by the use of spacers in the device region to support the cap.

Abstract: An encapsulation for an electrical device is disclosed. A cap support is provided in the non-active regions of the device to prevent the package from contacting the active components of the device due to mechanical stress induced in the package.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a device, including mechanically patterning a device layer using a stamp containing a desired pattern. The device layer is formed on a plastic or polymeric substrate. The stamp is pressed against the substrate under a load which patterns the device layer without cracking the device layer in the non-patterned areas.

Abstract: An improved method of fabricating a device such as OLED is disclosed. The method includes applying an adhesive on a cap or substrate. The adhesive is partially cured to initiate the cross-linking process while remaining in the liquid phase. The cap is then mounted onto the substrate and the adhesive is cured to encapsulate the device. By partially curing the adhesive prior to mounting the cap, the curing of the adhesive can be achieved without prolonged exposure to UV radiation or high temperatures which can adversely impact the device.

Abstract: A substrate support rim used in the fabrication of devices such as organic light emissive diodes (OLEDs) is disclosed. The support rim, which is located at the edge of a substrate, serves to reinforce the substrate, facilitating handling during and after the fabrication process to reduce damage to the device. The support rim comprises, for example, epoxy, adhesives or other materials that adhere to the substrate.

Abstract: A projectile includes a stabilizing band mounted on a rear projectile portion and having a folded state and a deployed state and a fuze assembly accommodated in the projectile. The fuze assembly includes a firing pin carrier supported for motion parallel to the longitudinal axis of the projectile; a firing pin secured to the firing pin carrier; a slide supported for motion transversely to the projectile axis and having a safety position and a firing position; and a detonator mounted on the slide. The detonator is out of alignment with the firing pin in the safety position of the slide and is in alignment with the firing pin in the firing position of the slide. A force-transmitting component is attached to the stabilizing band and the slide for moving the slide from the safety position into the firing position by a force generated by a motion of the stabilizing band from its folded state into its deployed state.

Abstract: A filter arrangement having an upright filter with a filter housing and a filter insert for cleaning lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine, in which the filter is fastened at a filter socket located in the lower part in the installed position of the filter; a first channel for feeding dirty oil, a second channel for discharging clean oil and a third channel for discharging oil from the interior of the filter are provided in the filter socket as well as a passage from the interior of the filter housing to the third channel which is necessarily opened during a change of the filter insert. In order to achieve a clear separation of the clean oil from the oil flowing off out of the filter during a change of the filter, the passage is arranged in a collar of the filter socket closely surrounding the lower part of the filter housing and is covered off by the filter housing in the installed position thereof.

Abstract: An underwater ignition device is provided comprising a rotor, a detonator disposed at the rotor, a locking pin secured in position by a safety pin, a release pin maintained in position by the locking pin, a first water pressure safety device normally engaging the rotor and preventing a rotating motion of the rotor into an ignition position and a second water pressure safety device actuable after the locking pin is removed and after the first water pressure safety device has been actuated and capable of actuating the release pin for rotating the rotor into an ignition position. An ignition circuit employed comprises a digital logic connected to an analog receiver, dual driver stages connected to the digital logic, parallel discharge circuits connected to the dual driver stages and to a detonator and the voltage supply and suitable for selectively igniting the detonator or for short circuiting the voltage supply.
