Patents by Inventor Paul Frederic Baude

Paul Frederic Baude has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8657985
    Abstract: Encapsulated organic electronic devices including organic light emitting diodes are made using an adhesive component as a mask while the device is being constructed. An adhesive-coated liner can be applied to the device substrate and openings created therein by removing portions of the liner and adhesive, or a patterned adhesive layer having openings therein can be formed on the device substrate, followed by deposition of the device layers and application of a sealing layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040217699
    Abstract: Pixels for organic light emitting full color display panels are made by simultaneously depositing red, green, and blue dopants such that the blue dopant is dispersed in at least one non-blue subpixel. Another aspect of the method relates to using a shadow mask comprising ribs which, in an angled evaporation method, can correct for parallax.

  • Patent number: 6611096
    Abstract: Organic electronic devices having a conducting self-doped polymer buffer layer, particularly a self-doped polyaniline buffer layer, are described. Also described are organic light emitting diodes with buffer layers comprised of an intrinsically conducting polymer having no mobile counterions.

  • Publication number: 20020195929
    Abstract: A method for making full color display panel pixels is described. One aspect of the method relates to simultaneously depositing red, green, and blue dopants such that the blue dopant is dispersed in at least one non-blue subpixel. Another aspect of the method relates to using an integrated or removable mask to deposit components. In an angled evaporation method, the mask can correct for parallax.

  • Patent number: 5974070
    Abstract: A II-VI semiconductor laser diode having a semiconductor body comprising a plurality of semiconductor layers forming a pn junction, a facet at one end of the body, and a reference electrode. The laser diode further includes a facet degradation reduction electrode located adjacent to the facet. The facet degradation reduction electrode is electrically isolated from a forward bias electrode. The facet degradation reduction electrode is used to establish an electric field sufficient to reduce facet degradation. In one embodiment, this electric field is established by applying a reverse-bias voltage between the facet electrode and the reference electrode. In another embodiment, this electric field is established by electrically connecting the facet electrode to the reference electrode.
