Abstract: A method of fabricatng a device is provided. A shadow mask is positioned in a first position over a substrate. A first process is performed on the substrate through the shadow mask. After the first process is performed, the shadow mask is moved to a second position over the substrate, measured relative to the first position. After the shadow mask is moved to the second position, a second process is performed on the substrate through the shadow mask.

Abstract: A multicolor organic light emitting device employs vertically stacked layers of double heterostructure devices which are fabricated from organic compounds. The vertical stacked structure is formed on a glass base having a transparent coating of ITO or similar metal to provide a substrate. Deposited on the substrate is the vertical stacked arrangement of three double heterostructure devices, each fabricated from a suitable organic material. Stacking is implemented such that the double heterostructure with the longest wavelength is on the top of the stack. This constitutes the device emitting red light on the top with the device having the shortest wavelength, namely, the device emitting blue light, on the bottom of the stack. Located between the red and blue device structures is the green device structure.

Abstract: Film spectral properties are measured by projecting chopped monochromatic light onto a luminescent film sample deposited on a substrate, and coupling through use of immersion oil the reflection of light therefrom to a light detector.

Abstract: An organic luminescent coating such as Aluminum-Tris-Quinolate is applied to a light detector for converting UV to green light to improve the efficiency of the light detector. The coating also provides anti-reflection properties when of sufficient thickness.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to organic light emitting devices comprised of an electroluminescent layer containing a host material comprised of a metal complex of (5-hydroxy)quinoxaline: ##STR1## wherein M is Al, Ga, In, Zn or Mg, with n=3, if M is Al, Ga or In and n=2, if M is Zn or Mg, and to a method for fabricating such devices. Further disclosed for use in the electroluminescent layer of organic light emitting devices are dopant materials comprised of a bisphenyl-squarilium compound, an indigo dye compound or a fullerene compound.

Abstract: In a method using organic vapor phase deposition (OCPD), for the growth of thin films of optically nonlinear organic salts, a volatile precursor of each component of the salt is carried as a vapor to a hot-wall reaction chamber by independently controlled streams of carrier gas. The components react to form a polycrystalline thin film on substrates of glass and gold. Excess reactants and reaction products are purged from the system by the carrier gas. For example, the method provides the growth of polycrystalline, optically nonlinear thin films of 4'-dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST) with >95% purity.
