  • Publication number: 20080143248
    Abstract: The present invention provides an organic light emitting apparatus having a liquid moisture absorbing member, the apparatus being capable of having a larger area than an organic light emitting apparatus having a same size substrate and without the liquid moisture absorbing member and of obtaining stable device characteristics without impairing the advantage of the liquid moisture absorbing member, in other words, by narrowing a non-light emitting region, and a method of producing the apparatus. The organic light emitting apparatus of the present invention has a side where a drive circuit is formed and a side where the drive circuit is not formed, and each of a starting point and an ending point of the application of the moisture absorbing member is placed on the side where the drive circuit is formed.

  • Publication number: 20070122469
    Abstract: A method for preparing a vesicle dispersion wherein a water-soluble substance is encupsulated in the vesicle, which comprises successively performing: a step of dispersing at least one lipid in an aqueous medium to pre-construct a vesicle dispersion, a step of drying the pre-constructed vesicles to obtain dried vesicles, a step of re-dispersing the dried vesicles in an aqueous solution of the water-soluble substance, and a step of passing the resultant vesicle dispersion through a filter. The method enables the efficient and simple preparation of safe vesicles with a useful substance in high concentration encupsulated therein, with a narrow size distribution, in high yield.

  • Patent number: 6952305
    Abstract: An electrophoretic display includes a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, insulating liquid disposed between the first and second substrates, electrophoretic particles dispersed in the insulating liquid, a partition wall disposed at a position defining a pixel between the first and second substrates, and a first electrode and a second electrode, which are disposed on one of the first and second substrates, for applying an electric field to said electrophoretic particles. The first electrode is disposed in a scattering layer having a thickness of 1-100 ?m and has an areal proportion of 0.1-80% per an area of the pixel. The second electrode constitutes a part of the partition wall.
