  • Publication number: 20110284916
    Abstract: Methods for protecting circuit device materials, optoelectronic devices, and caps using a reflowable getter are described. The methods, devices and caps provide advantages because they enable modification of the shape and activity of the getter after sealing of the device. Some embodiments of the invention provide a solid composition comprising a reactive material and a phase changing material. The combination of the reactive material and phase changing material is placed in the cavity of an electronic device. After sealing the device by conventional means (epoxy seal for example), the device is subjected to thermal or electromagnetic energy so that the phase changing material becomes liquid, and consequently: exposes the reactive material to the atmosphere of the cavity, distributes the getter more equally within the cavity, and provides enhanced protection of sensitive parts of the device by flowing onto and covering these parts, with a thin layer of material.

    Abstract: An organic EL device has an organic EL element provided on a substrate and includes a lower electrode, an organic EL layer, an upper electrode, and a protective layer for moisture protection, and a protective substrate laminated onto the organic EL element via an adhesive layer. The protective layer is a laminated body including first through nth layers, in order, from a side close to the upper electrode (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 3). Each layer of the protective layer includes silicon oxynitride or silicon nitride, and two adjacent layers layer have different chemical compositions. The first layer has a refractive index smaller than that of the upper electrode and the nth layer has a refractive index larger than that of the adhesive layer. The refractive index (k) of the kth layer satisfies a relationship: refractive index (k?1)>refractive index (k).

  • Patent number: 8039303
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is made by forming a first conductive layer over a sacrificial carrier. A conductive pillar is formed over the first conductive layer. An active surface of a semiconductor die is mounted to the carrier. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and around the conductive pillar. The carrier and adhesive layer are removed. A stress relief insulating layer is formed over the active surface of the semiconductor die and a first surface of the encapsulant. The stress relief insulating layer has a first thickness over the semiconductor die and a second thickness less than the first thickness over the encapsulant. A first interconnect structure is formed over the stress relief insulating layer. A second interconnect structure is formed over a second surface of encapsulant opposite the first interconnect structure. The first and second interconnect structures are electrically connected through the conductive pillar.

  • Patent number: 7999283
    Abstract: A light emitting device having an encapsulant with scattering features to tailor the spatial emission pattern and color temperature uniformity of the output profile. The encapsulant is formed with materials having light scattering properties. The concentration of these light scatterers is varied spatially within the encapsulant and/or on the surface of the encapsulant. The regions having a high density of scatterers are arranged in the encapsulant to interact with light entering the encapsulant over a desired range of source emission angles. By increasing the probability that light from a particular range of emission angles will experience at least one scattering event, both the intensity and color temperature profiles of the output light beam can be tuned.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention explore solution-based deposition of a cathode for an OLED structure. A typical embodiment of the invention may include a method performed according to the following steps: Glass substrates including deposited Indium Tin-Oxide (ITO) are prepared. The substrates are subjected to ultrasonic cleaning with deionized water and organic solvents. Features are etched into the ITO using high concentration HCl solution. A hole injecting layer is deposited by spin coater. The layer is annealed on a hot plate, then a polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) polymer is deposited by spin coater and annealed on a hot plate. Low work function cathode metal is then deposited in an electroless solution and annealed on a hot plate. The device is encapsulated.
