Patent number: 8003980Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a layered organic device, and a method of forming the same. The method includes steps of applying a first solvent-containing organic layer to a substrate and removing solvent from the first solvent-containing organic layer to form a first solidified organic layer. Additional steps include applying a second solvent-containing organic layer to the first solidified organic layer and removing solvent from the second solvent-containing organic layer to form a second solidified organic layer. The first solidified organic layer can be crosslinked, which suppresses negative impact to components in the first solidified organic layer when the solvent of the second solvent-containing organic layer is deposited on the first solidified organic layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Xia Sheng, Zhang-Lin Zhou, Krzysztof Nauka, Chung Ching Yang

Patent number: 7989963Abstract: A specially designed mask controls the arrangement of conductive materials that form a source and drain of a transistor. Designing the mask can be costly and time-consuming, which means that the testing of a circuit involving a transistor can also be costly, time consuming and a barrier towards efficient circuit development and testing. Accordingly, the present invention provides a pre-fabricated, general-purpose pattern comprising an array of conductive islands. The pattern is used as a source and a drain terminal for the formation of a thin-film transistor and as a conductive source for the formation of other electrical components upon the array.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Simon Tam
