  • Patent number: 11133484
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an OLED lighting apparatus which can compensate for high sheet resistance of a first electrode formed of a transparent conductive material while improving light extraction efficiency through enhancement in aperture ratio. For this purpose, the OLED lighting apparatus omits auxiliary wires and, instead of the auxiliary wires, includes a first auxiliary wire and a second auxiliary wire to secure low resistance. As a result, the OLED lighting apparatus can compensate for high sheet resistance of the first electrode, thereby achieving normal light emission without reduction in luminance due to current drop when implemented as a large-area high-resolution lighting apparatus.

    Abstract: Embedded organic interposers for high bandwidth are provided. Example embedded organic interposers provide thick conductors with more dielectric space, and more routing layers of such conductors than conventional interposers, in order to provide high bandwidth transmission capacity over longer spans. The embedded organic interposers provide high bandwidth transmission paths between components such as HBM, HBM2, and HBM3 memory stacks, and other components. To provide the thick conductors and more routing layers for greater transmission capacity, extra space is achieved by embedding the organic interposers in the core of the package. Example embedded organic interposers lower a resistive-capacitive (RC) load of the routing layers to provide an improved data transfer rate of 1 gigabits per second over at least a 6 mm span, for example. The embedded interposers are not limited to use with memory modules.
