  • Publication number: 20120224899
    Abstract: Cleaning systems for an electrostatic imaging member and printers having cleaning systems are provided. In one aspect, a cleaning system has a wiper, a mounting holding the wiper so that an extension length of the wiper extends from the mounting and a frame positioning the mounting relative to the electrostatic imaging member so that the wiper extends along a holding angle toward the electrostatic imaging member and so that the mounting is separated from the electrostatic imaging member by an extension distance along the holding angle that is less than the extension length with the wiper resiliently bending to fit within the extension distance to define a working angle. The extension distance is within a range of extension distances that cause the working angle to be within a range of working angles that are greater than a range of working angles associated with a greater range of extension distances.

  • Publication number: 20120207509
    Abstract: An electrophotographic printer includes a rotatable photoreceptor adapted to receive dry toner and a rotatable toning member arranged with respect to the photoreceptor to supply toner thereto. A seal includes a complaint contact member and a non-contact member. The contact member is arranged in mechanical contact with the photoreceptor. The non-contact member is spaced apart from the surface of the toning member by a selected non-zero distance, the selected distance being greater than zero. This reduces dusting.

  • Publication number: 20110163659
    Abstract: A radiation-emitting arrangement comprises, in particular, a carrier element (1) having an at least partly non-transparent main surface (10) and arranged on the carrier element (1), an organic radiation-emitting component (2) having an organic layer sequence (23) with an active region between an at least partly transparent first electrode (21) and an at least partly transparent second electrode (22). The active region (29) is suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation (91, 93) in a switched-on operating state. The radiation-emitting arrangement has a radiation exit area (3) for emitting the electromagnetic radiation (92, 93) on that side of the organic radiation-emitting component (2) which faces away from the carrier element. (1) The at least partly non-transparent main surface (10) of the carrier element (1) is perceptible by an external observer through the radiation exit area (3) in a switched-off operating state of the organic radiation-emitting component (2).

  • Publication number: 20060127565
    Abstract: A method for microstructuring by means of locally selective sublimation is disclosed, whereby patterns or images of organic electroluminescent components are produced by application of low molecular weight emission material, provided on a support, to those points of substrate corresponding to the pattern or image for production, by means of sublimation. According to the invention, the method is carried out by firstly completely coating a film support made from temperature-resistant material with the emission material. The coated support and the substrate are then placed adjacent and parallel to each other in a vacuum chamber. The side of the support coated with the emission material faces the substrate. The support is subsequently locally heated for a short period of time on the non-coated side thereof in those positions corresponding to the pattern or image for generation, to a temperature adequate for the sublimation of the emission material.
