Encapsulated Patents (Class 257/100)
  • Patent number: 10096533
    Abstract: A process for encapsulating an apparatus to restrict environmental element permeation between the apparatus and an external environment includes applying multiple barrier layers to the apparatus and preceding each layer application with a separate cleaning of the presently-exposed apparatus surface, resulting in an apparatus which includes an encapsulation stack, where the encapsulation stack includes a multi-layer stack of barrier layers. Each separate cleaning removes particles from the presently-exposed apparatus surface, exposing gaps in the barrier layer formed by the particles, and the subsequently-applied barrier layer at least partially fills the gaps, so that a permeation pathway through the encapsulation stack via gap spaces is restricted. The quantity of barrier layers applied to form the stack can be based on a determined probability that a stack of the particular quantity of barrier layers is independent of at least a certain quantity of continuous permeation pathways through the stack.

  • Patent number: 9985209
    Abstract: A method for testing lifetime characteristics of a display panel in which a plurality of pixels each including a light-emitting element (an organic EL element) are arranged in a matrix, includes: setting a first light-emitting region including a plurality of pixels; setting a non-light-emitting region including all pixels adjacent to the first light-emitting region; setting a second light-emitting region including pixels which are not included in the first light-emitting region and the non-light-emitting region; and testing the lifetime characteristics of the display panel by causing the pixels in the first light-emitting region and the pixels in the second light-emitting region to emit light at different luminance levels without causing the pixels in the non-light-emitting region to emit light.

  • Patent number: 9978918
    Abstract: A method can be used for producing an optoelectronic device. A first leadframe section with a component is provided. The component is designed to emit electromagnetic radiation on an emission side. The emission side faces away from the carrier. A second leadframe section is provided. In a first method step the component and the two leadframe sections are encapsulated with a first potting material in such a way that the component and the leadframe sections are embedded into a potting body, but wherein at least part of the emission area of the component remains free of the first potting material and a cutout is formed in the potting body at least above the emission area of the component. In a second method step a second potting material is molded into the cutout of the potting body, such that the emission side of the component is covered with the second potting material.
