The transmissive low reflectivity layer may be moisture penetrating. The substrate may be flexible or rigid.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first substrate including a first exposed conductor and a second exposed conductor. The electronic device also includes a second substrate and a conductive material that includes a first portion that contacts the first exposed conductor and a second portion that contacts the second exposed conductor. The electronic device further includes a first substrate structure that electrically insulates the first portion of the conductive material from the second portion of the conductive material. A process for forming an electronic device includes depositing a liquid adhesive over a first substrate. The process further includes contacting the liquid adhesive with a second substrate near a first edge of the second substrate. The process still further includes increasing the contact area between the liquid adhesive and second substrate as the second edge of the second substrate is moved closer to the first substrate.

Abstract: An organic electronic device has an improved contrast ratio by lowering background luminescence from ambient radiation source(s). Background luminescence may be lowered by increasing absorption of ambient radiation, by reducing reflection of ambient radiation, or a combination of the two. Lower background luminescence can be achieved by using one or more black layers or lattices that are incorporated within the organic electronic device. Also, a large number of materials can be used for high absorbance layers. A change in materials for the electronic device may not be needed, and therefore, new material compatibility issues may not arise. Further, from an electronic performance standpoint, some layers may not be too sensitive to thickness and a plurality of narrow ranges of thicknesses may be used for a layer to allow a layer to have the proper electrical and optical properties. The embodiments obviate the need for a circular polarizer.

Abstract: An array of electronic devices has an improved contrast ratio by lowering background luminescence from ambient radiation source(s). Background luminescence may be lowered by using a black lattice by itself of in combination with a black layer used between openings in the black lattice. The black lattice, black layer, or both may be achieved by using a high absorbance material, a low reflectivity layer, or a combination of the two. The low reflectivity layer may be designed by optimizing the thickness or materials at the interfaces of the layer to reduce reflectivity. A combination of the black lattice and a black layer within at least one set of the electrodes may provide very low background luminescence while still maintaining a good ratio of ON luminescence versus OFF luminescence.
