Patents by Inventor René Scheurich

René Scheurich 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: 9150687
    Abstract: The present invention relates to electronic devices comprising organic semiconductors whose content of halogens is less than 20 ppm. This increases the lifetime and the efficiency of the corresponding electronic devices, and these materials are thus better suited to use in organic electronic devices than materials with a higher halogen content. The present invention further relates to corresponding organic semiconductors and to a process for their production.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2005
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2015
    Assignee: Merck Patent GmbH
    Inventors: Hubert Spreitzer, Aurélie Ludemann, René Scheurich, Niels Schulte, Arne Büsing, Philipp Stössel
  • Patent number: 8058790
    Abstract: The invention relates to mixtures comprising at least one polymer, additionally comprising structural units containing at least one element from the 4th main group different from carbon and additionally comprising structural units that are triplet emissives. The inventive materials are better suited to the use in phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes than comparable prior art materials.

  • Publication number: 20100102305
    Abstract: The present invention relates to organic semiconductors which contain structural units L=X and in addition structural units which emit light from the triplet state. The materials according to the invention are more soluble and easier to synthesise and are therefore more suitable for use in organic light-emitting diodes than comparative materials in accordance with the prior art.
