  • Publication number: 20110193066
    Abstract: An apparatus for pixellated radiation configured to prevent short-circuits from adversely impacting display quality. A current limiting element connects a pixel to a power bus to minimize effects of pixel failures. Failure of a single pixel will have minimum impact on perceived display quality, thus avoiding failure of an entire row or column which would be noticeable to an observer of the display.

  • Patent number: 7947536
    Abstract: There is provided herein a process for forming an encapsulated electronic device. The device has active areas and sealing areas on a substrate. The process includes providing the substrate; forming a discontinuous pattern of a material having a first surface energy on at least a portion of the sealing areas; forming multiple active layers, where at least one active layer is formed by liquid deposition from a liquid medium having a surface energy greater than the first surface energy; providing an encapsulation assembly; and bonding the encapsulation assembly to the substrate in the sealing areas. Also provided are devices formed by the disclosed processes.

  • Patent number: 7838195
    Abstract: There is provided an essentially planar test substrate for non-contact printing. The substrate has a first layer having a first surface energy and having a planar measurement portion. A liquid containment pattern is over at least the measurement portion of the first layer. The liquid containment pattern has a second surface energy that is different from the first surface energy. The measurement portion of the first layer and the liquid containment pattern together are substantially planar.

  • Patent number: 7355204
    Abstract: An organic electronic device includes a first member including: a substrate; a first conductive layer formed on the substrate; an organic active layer deposited on a portion of the first conductive layer; and a second conductive layer deposited on the organic active layer and on the first conductive layer; and a second member coupled to the first member to form an enclosed space, the second member including: a lid; and a third conductive layer deposited on the lid, wherein the third conductive layer is electrically coupled to one or both of the first and the second conductive layers.
