Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a print material, comprising a curable precursor mixture; and a plurality of light-scattering particles, wherein a droplet of the print material having diameter of about 30 ?m has a maximum transmission haze at a wavelength less than about 500 nm and a transmission haze at an infrared wavelength up to about 1,600 nm that is less than 60% of the maximum transmission haze. In some cases, a polymer film having thickness of about 20 ?m made from a print material has a maximum transmission haze at a wavelength less than about 500 nm and a transmission haze at an infrared wavelength up to about 1,600 nm that is less than 60% of the maximum transmission haze. A process is also described, including applying the material above to a substrate as a print material and solidifying the print material to form a structure on the substrate.

Abstract: Systems and arrangements of OVJP deposition devices are provided, in which one or more organic material crucibles are directly attached to an injection block and a print head without the need for external delivery components such as feedtubes. Each crucible may be hermetically sealed until it is attached to the injection block, allowing for a single device to provide for storage, transport, and deposition of the organic material.

Abstract: A buffer layer is provided that can be fabricated over an OLED without the use of any oxygen-containing gas. The buffer layer reduces the possibility of damage to the underlying OLED due to use of oxygen-containing materials during deposition of subsequent barrier layers, and thereby allows for deposition of barrier layers without reducing the flexibility of the device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide electronic devices such as OLEDs that have enhanced mechanical integrity and prolonged shelf, by minimizing the spread of a delamination region using topographical non-uniformities introduced in the device structure. For example, a device may be made deliberately non-planar by introducing multiple energy barriers which can prevent or minimize the propagation of a delamination, because the delamination will have to cross the energy barriers in order to spread to a larger area.

Abstract: A hybrid permeation barrier having two complementary layers is disclosed. The barrier includes a first layer with a relatively high stress-thickness in the range of ?1000 MPa-?m to ?200 MPa-?m and a second layer with a relatively low stress-thickness in the range ?150 MPa-?m to 300 MPa-?m. The second layer compensates for the stress caused by the first, thereby allowing for a barrier that provides good permeation without causing failure of the device due to delamination.

Abstract: A microfluidic device for use with a microfluidic delivery system, such as an organic vapor jet printing device, includes a glass layer that is directly bonded to a microfabricated die and a metal plate via a double anodic bond. The double anodic bond is formed by forming a first anodic bond at an interface of the microfabricated die and the glass layer, and forming a second anodic bond at an interface of the metal plate and the glass layer, where the second anodic bond is formed using a voltage that is lower than the voltage used to form the first anodic bond. The second anodic bond is formed with the polarity of the voltage reversed with respect to the glass layer and the formation of the first anodic bond. The metal plate includes attachment features that allow removal of the microfluidic device from a fixture.

Abstract: Nozzle designs which have been found to be effective in governing overspray in OVJP are provided. Aspects of the invention have been found to be effective in reducing or avoiding sudden pressure drops at the end of the nozzle close to the substrate, and may be advantageously employed in obtaining, for example, greater consistency between the nozzle outlet diameter and the deposited pattern width.
