Publication number: 20100145050Abstract: The present invention relates to chemical compounds that can be used in electrooptical applications. The electrically conductive and optical properties of these compounds, e.g. hole transporting, electron transporting and/or light emitting properties can be predetermined by substituting the core structure of these compounds with respective residues. The core structure (1) of the compounds according to the invention comprises two opposing aromatic moieties which are chemically bonded through an intermediate central atom. This central atom has a tetraedric configuration and therefore provides an orthogonal orientation to the organic moieties.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2005Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAT BRAUNSCHWEIGInventors: Hans-Hermann Johannes, Wolfgang Kowalsky, Martin Dümeland, Ulfla Wrenz

Publication number: 20060127565Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2003Publication date: June 15, 2006Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Eike Becker, Dirk Heithecker, Dirk Metzdorf, Hermann Johannes, Thomas Dobbertin, Daniel Schneider, Wolfgang Kowalsky
