  • Patent number: 8995022
    Abstract: An ink jet process is used to deposit a material layer to a desired thickness. Layout data is converted to per-cell grayscale values, each representing ink volume to be locally delivered. The grayscale values are used to generate a halftone pattern to deliver variable ink volume (and thickness) to the substrate. The halftoning provides for a relatively continuous layer (e.g., without unintended gaps or holes) while providing for variable volume and, thus, contributes to variable ink/material buildup to achieve desired thickness. The ink is jetted as liquid or aerosol that suspends material used to form the material layer, for example, an organic material used to form an encapsulation layer for a flat panel device. The deposited layer is then cured or otherwise finished to complete the process.

  • Patent number: 8878164
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode, known under the abbreviation OLED, and to a method for the production of such an organic light-emitting diode. According to the invention, an OLED or organic light-emitting diode having an emitter layer (5) is produced, said emitter layer emitting white light in particular. The emitter layer (5) is arranged within a lossy, optical resonator. The optical path length between the two reflecting layers of the resonator determines the color of the light emitting from the optical resonator and, consequently, from the light-emitting diode. In order to be able to create a variety of colors, there must be different optical path lengths between the two reflecting surfaces. The correspondingly different distances can be produced in only one work step, in contrast to the prior art, by a photolithographic method.
