  • Publication number: 20230389343
    Abstract: Exemplary methods of OLED device processing are described. The methods may include forming an anode on a substrate. Forming the anode may include forming a first metal oxide material on the substrate, forming a metal layer over the first metal oxide material, forming a protective barrier over the metal layer, and forming a second metal oxide material over the amorphous protection material. The protective barrier may be an amorphous protection material overlying the metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20230263014
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a device including a substrate, a plurality of adjacent pixel-defining layer (PDL) structures disposed over the substrate, and a plurality of sub-pixels. Each sub-pixel includes adjacent first overhangs, adjacent second overhangs, an anode, a hole injection layer (HIL) material, an additional organic light emitting diode (OLED) material, and a cathode. Each first overhang is defined by a body structure disposed on and extending laterally past a base structure disposed on the PDL structure. Each second overhang is defined by a top structure disposed on and extending laterally past the body structure. The HIL material is disposed over and in contact with the anode and disposed under the adjacent first overhangs. The additional OLED material is disposed on the HIL material and extends under the first overhang.

  • Patent number: 11345137
    Abstract: In a forward movement, an article is conveyed to a printing device via a transfer position while being kept mounted in a first holder for printing by the printing device. The article is returned to the transfer position together with the first holder after printing. An article to be printed after the above article is mounted into a second holder in parallel with at least a part of the forward movement, the printing and a return movement. This is capable of printing on the articles in a short throughput time also when the articles are those having a three-dimensional shape such as bottles and in-vehicle components.

  • Publication number: 20200080189
    Abstract: A flow resistant part having a rod shape is disposed in a raw liquid introduction path in a manner such that the raw liquid is sprayed onto a vaporization plate to reduce the conductance of the raw liquid introduction path with respect to the raw liquid. Because the pressure on an outlet side of the liquid mass flow controller is increased, and the pressure difference from the pressure on the inlet side of the liquid mass flow controller is reduced, the occurrence of cavitation can be prevented. A plurality of the flow resistant parts can be provided.
