  • LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20170271621
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a current-light conversion device (1), such as an OLED or an OPVD, wherein the current-light conversion device comprises a substrate (10), a current-light conversion arrangement (11) comprising a current-light conversion material (111) provided between a first and a second electrode layer (110, 112), and a barrier layer (12) comprising a transparent organic layer (121) provided between a first and a second transparent inorganic barrier layer (120, 122). A getter material is provided in the transparent organic layer (121) in a pattern of getter dots (1210). Since the getter material is provided in a pattern of getter dots (1210), the light scattering effect resulting from dispersed getter particles can be avoided, resulting in improved transparency characteristics of the barrier layer (12) while still providing the desired getter functionality.

  • ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE DEVICE WITH SEPARATING FOIL
    Publication number: 20160365530
    Abstract: The invention relates to OLEDs (1) having a substrate (2), a first electrode layer (3), a layer of organic electroluminescence material (4), a second electrode layer (5), a cover layer (6), moisture-absorbing means (9) and a separating foil (10) of resilient material. According to the invention, said foil (10) is positioned between the second electrode layer (5) and the moisture-absorbing means (9). This feature results in a longer mean life-time of the OLED. Advantageously spacer structures (12) (preferably formed as dots) are applied on the separating foil (10) between the foil (10) and the cover (6). This prevents discoloring effects around the rim of the OLED material.

  • ENCAPSULATED SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND ENCAPSULATION METHOD
    Publication number: 20160343988
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an encapsulated semiconductor device (20) provided on a flexible substrate (1), a method of providing an at least partially encapsulated semiconductor device (20) on a flexible substrate (1) and a software product for providing an at least partially encapsulated semiconductor device (20) on a flexible substrate (1). In a preferred embodiment, an encapsulation method is presented in which the organic layer (3) of an inorganic/organic/inorganic multilayer barrier (5) on a plastic foil (1) as a substrate is removed at the edges of an OLED (13). The edges are subsequently sealed with a standard TFE process to encapsulate the OLED (13). This enables cuttable OLEDs (20) that are cut out of a larger plastic substrate (1) and gives a method to reduce side leakage in OLEDs (20) that have been manufactured in a roll-to-toll process.

  • ROTARY ANGLE SENSOR
    Publication number: 20160146634
    Abstract: A rotary angle sensor used to determine a relative angular position as compared to a reference position, comprising a housing (1), at least one rotor (3, 4) that is rotatably mounted inside said housing (1), one circuit board (2) containing electrical and/or electronic components as well as one or multiple stators corresponding to the number of used rotors (3, 4). The rotary angle sensor is supposed to be improved in such a manner that a particularly precise alignment of the first rotor (3) in relation to the stator is ensured and that it is inexpensive to manufacture. This is achieved by a first rotor (3) that is interlocked with the housing (1) without any play while a pre-loaded spring washer (14) is positioned on the latching arms (11).
