  • Patent number: 8764255
    Abstract: A semi-rigid electronic device is disclosed that includes a flexible panel and a housing. The housing may have a physical dimension L, such as length, height, or a diagonal. The minimum bending device radius of the device along the dimension L may be L/pi when held at an edge. The bending radius increases the more rigid the device. The housing, electronic components, and display may each contribute to the flexibility of the overall device. The housing and/or the flexible panel may also include one or more ribs to constrain movement of the semi-rigid device.

  • Publication number: 20140099479
    Abstract: A device is disclosed that includes one or more ribs that allow a flexible device, such as an OLED display, to flex in a first direction but resist flexing in a second direction. The ribs may have stiffening elements attached to them that may lessen flexing in the first direction. Sensors may also be incorporated that signal the stiffening elements. The ribs and stiffening elements have application to a variety of display types such as cell phones, TVs, and movie screens.

  • Publication number: 20140016284
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the design and fabrication of flexible devices, including high-performance large-area OLEDs, narrow border display panels and lighting panels are provided. Various described fabrication- and design-processes may be used to provide the necessary electrical drive to lighting and display panels. Electrical drive may be provided to one or more row- and column-signals by patterning conductive elements near the panel edge. The electrical elements may further be folded over a region near the panel edge back on itself, such that electrical traces may route around the display edge. This may allow the display active area to be substantially the same area as its viewing area, and furthermore may allow pixels go substantially all the way to the edge of the viewing area.

  • Patent number: 8564001
    Abstract: A first device that may include one or more organic light emitting devices. At least 65 percent of the photons emitted by the organic light emitting devices are emitted from an organic phosphorescent emitting material. An outcoupling enhancer is optically coupled to each organic light emitting device. In one embodiment, the light panel is not attached to a heat management structure. In one embodiment, the light panel is capable of exhibiting less than a 10 degree C. rise in junction temperature when operated at a luminous emittance of 9,000 lm/m2 without the use of heat management structures, regardless of whether the light panel is actually attached to a heat management structure or not. The light panel may be attached to a heat management structure. The light panel may be not attached to a heat management structure.

  • Publication number: 20130189808
    Abstract: A selective organic emissive material deposition technique is disclosed. A charged organic emissive material may be mixed with a carrier gas and ejected towards a charged intended area of a substrate. The charge for the emissive material may be such that the organic emissive material is attracted to the charged intended area of the substrate and, accordingly, deposited selectively over the charged intended area of the substrate. Additionally, surrounding unintended areas of the substrate may be charged such that the charged organic emissive material is repelled by the unintended areas.
