Patents by Inventor Rudolf Heimgartner

Rudolf Heimgartner 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).

  • Device having a protective seal for emitting electromagnetic radiation and process for producing the device
    Patent number: 6972518
    Abstract: A device for emitting electromagnetic radiation includes a substrate, at least one active layer of a radiation-emitting organic material, a cover, and a seal between the substrate and the cover so that an interior space between the substrate and the cover is closed off in a gas-tight manner. The seal protects the active layer against humidity from the ambient air. By using simple and cost-effective measures, the device thus has a long service life and benefits from all advantages of organic, light-emitting diodes.

  • Method for producing a component and corresponding component
    Patent number: 6688933
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a structural component from at least one optoelectronic functional element and a glass pane, with the functional element being disposed in the region of a primary surface of the glass pane. This structural element is distinguished by the fact that the primary surface of the glass pane is connected to a frame such that the frame surrounds the edge surfaces of the functional element in the finished state of the composite element. The invention further relates to a functional element that can be produced with the method.
