Patents by Inventor Sam Hadden

Sam Hadden 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: 4665342
    Abstract: A polymer electroluminescent display is provided which comprises a number of individual light-emitting elements in a selected formation and adapted for excitation from a voltage supply. The formation, which is formed on a substrate, includes copper conductors etched onto the substrate. a plurality of polymer dielectrics with relatively high dielectric constant are screen printed over the conductors, with each dielectric corresponding to an individual light-emitting element. A plurality of light-emitting polymer phosphors are screen printed over the dielectrics with each phosphor corresponding to an individual light-emitting element. A polymer indium oxide light-transmissive conductor is screen printed over each phosphor. A polymer dielectric with a relatively low dielectric constant separates each of the individual light-emitting elements from each other and alleviates cross-talk between the individual light-emitting elements.

  • Patent number: 4614668
    Abstract: An electroluminescent display is provided which comprises a matrix of individual light-emitting elements in a row and column formation and adapted for excitation from a voltage supply which addresses the matrix. The matrix, which is formed on a substrate, includes a plurality of parallel copper conductors etched onto the substrate with each of the conductors forming a column. A plurality of polymer dielectrics are screen printed over the first conductors, with each dielectric corresponding to an individual light-emitting element. A plurality of light-emitting polymer phosphors are screen printed over the dielectrics with each phosphor corresponding to an individual light-emitting element. A polymer indium oxide light-transmissive conductor is screen printed over each phosphor.
