Patent number: 8564192Abstract: Systems and methods for the design and fabrication of OLEDs, including high-performance large-area OLEDs, are provided. Variously described fabrication processes may be used to deposit and pattern bus lines and/or insulators using vapor deposition such as vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE) through a shadow mask, and may avoid multiple photolithography steps. Bus lines and/or insulators may be formed with a smooth profile and a gradual sidewall transition. Such smooth profiles may, for example, reduce the probability of electrical shorting at the bus lines. Other vapor deposition systems and methods may include, among others, sputter deposition, e-beam evaporation and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A final profile of the bus line and/or insulator may substantially correspond to the profile as deposited. A single OILED devices may also be formed with relatively large dimension.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2012Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Universal Display CorporationInventors: Huiqing Pang, Emory Krall, Kamala Rajan, Paul E.

Patent number: 8557617Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting diode package. A cup-shaped package structure with a recess formed therein and an electrode structure formed on a bottom of the recess is prepared. A light emitting diode chip is mounted on a bottom of the recess with a terminal of the chip electrically connected to the electrode structure. A liquid-state transparent resin is injected in the recess and before the liquid-state transparent resin is completely cured, a stamp with a micro rough pattern engraved thereon is applied on an upper surface of the resin. The liquid-state transparent resin is cured with the stamp applied thereon to form a resin encapsulant and the stamp is removed from the resin encapsulant.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2007Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Youn Gon Park, Jong Myeon Lee, Hai Sung Lee, Myung Whun Chang, Ho Sung Choo
