  • Patent number: 6365270
    Abstract: A multicolor organic light emitting device employs vertically stacked layers of double heterostructure devices which are fabricated from organic compounds. The vertical stacked structure is formed on a glass base having a transparent coating of ITO or similar metal to provide a substrate. Deposited on the substrate is the vertical stacked arrangement of three double heterostructure devices, each fabricated from a suitable organic material. Stacking is implemented such that the double heterostructure with the longest wavelength is on the top of the stack. This constitutes the device emitting red light on the top with the device having the shortest wavelength, namely, the device emitting blue light, on the bottom of the stack. Located between the red and blue device structures is the green device structure.

  • Patent number: 6358631
    Abstract: A light emitting device (LED) structure and devices containing the same in which the LED structure contains a plurality of at least a first and a second light emitting organic device (LED) stacked one upon the other, to form a layered structure, with each LED separated one from the other by a transparent conductive layer to enable each device to receive a separate bias potential to operate to emit light through the stack, at least one of said LED's comprising an emission layer containing an emitting compound, optionally in a matrix of at least one host compound capable of carrying electrons to the emitting compound.

  • Patent number: 6005266
    Abstract: A low leakage current monolithic InGaAs InP discrete device is provided for a focal plane array for near-infrared imaging. The array consists of a plurality of InGaAs p-i-n diodes for photodetectors, with each being integrated on a common substrate with an Inp junction field effect transistor (JFET) as a switching element for each pixel. In order to minimize the drain and gate leakage to achieve high-detection sensitivity, a p-encapsulation of an n-drained of each JFET is employed.
