  • Patent number: 9944847
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to composition and methods for upconverting light. In some embodiments, the composition and methods comprise an organic material, a nanocrystal, and a ligand capable of facilitating energy transfer between the nanocrystal and the organic material. In certain embodiments, the nanocrystal has a first excited energy state with an energy greater than a triplet state of the organic material. The organic material, in some embodiments, may be aromatic and/or include one or more pi-conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds. In some cases, incident light may be absorbed by the nanocrystal to produce triplet excitons. The triplet excitons may then transfer from the nanocrystal to the organic material and undergo triplet-triplet annihilation, creating a singlet state of approximately twice the energy of the triplet exciton. In certain embodiments, the singlet state fluoresces, resulting in the formation of a high energy photon.

  • Patent number: 9708529
    Abstract: A method for the synthesis and use of transparent bulk conjugated polymers prepared from liquid monomers via bulk polymerization. The liquid monomer contains pi-electron conjugated moieties and polymerizable moieties. The monomer solution may also have functionalizing additives such as a luminescence additive that includes organic dyes, luminescent molecules, fluorescent compounds, phosphorescent compounds, and luminescent quantum dots. The monomer solution may also have sensitizing additives such as high-energy photo sensitizing compounds, nanoparticles of compounds containing atoms with atomic numbers greater than 52 and neutron sensitizing additives. The monomer solution is polymerized by heating to an elevated temperature with or without addition of an initiator. Alternatively, the monomer is polymerized by photo-induced polymerization. A photoinitiator may be employed to initiate the photopolymerization. Scintillation materials with significant light yields are illustrated.

  • Patent number: 9711745
    Abstract: A high efficient white emission light emitting element having peak intensity in each wavelength region of red, green, and blue is provided. Specifically, a white emission light emitting element having an emission spectrum that is independent of current density is provided. A first light emitting layer 312 exhibiting blue emission and a second light emitting layer 313 containing a phosphorescent material that generates simultaneously phosphorescent emission and excimer emission are combined. In order to derive excimer emission from the phosphorescent material, it is effective to disperse a phosphorescent material 323 having a high planarity structure such as platinum complex at a high concentration of at least 10 wt % to a host material 322. Further, the first light emitting layer 312 is provided to be in contact with the second light emitting layer 313 at the side of an anode. Ionization potential of the second light emitting layer 313 is preferably larger by 0.
