  • Patent number: 9240566
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for curing a UV-curable resin and a method for packaging an OLED. The method for curing a UV-curable resin includes (1) providing a UV light source and activating the UV light source to carry out a first irradiation operation on UV-curable resin; (2) de-activating the UV light source and, after a time interval of 10-300 seconds, activating the UV light source to carry out a second irradiation operation on the UV-curable resin; and (3) repeating step (2), until the UV-curable resin is completely cured. Interval-separated irradiation operations are applied so as to effectively lower down the temperature of a glass substrate and effectively avoid deterioration of an organic function layer caused by an excessively high temperature, thereby improving the lifespan and quality of an OLED device.

  • Patent number: 9227871
    Abstract: A glass layer 3 is irradiated with laser light L1 for temporary firing, so that a main portion 32 of the glass layer 3 excluding a one portion 31 thereof and extending like a ring open at the one portion 31 is molten and fixed to a glass member 4. As a consequence, the one portion 31 of the glass layer 3 in which the glass frit 2 is not molten exists between one end 32a and the other end 32b of the glass layer 3 fixed to the glass member 4. Superposing a glass member 5 on the glass member 4 with the glass layer 3 interposed therebetween in this state and irradiating the one portion 31 and main portion 32 of the glass layer 3 with second laser light L2, so as to fuse the glass members 4, 5 to each other, can prevent leaks from occurring in the glass layer 3, thereby making it possible to manufacture a glass fusing structure 1 which requires hermetic fusing.

  • Patent number: 9226421
    Abstract: In an electro-optical device, a backup plate is disposed to overlap an electro-optical panel, and the backup plate includes a groove portion (reinforcing groove) recessed from the front face and protruding on the back face. In addition, the backup plate includes a groove reinforcement region including the reinforcing member extending through inside of the groove portion. Accordingly, the backup plate is resistant to deflection, and therefore deflection of the electro-optical panel can be effectively suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9224925
    Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same can include a wavelength converting layer located on at least one semiconductor light-emitting chip in order to emit various colored lights including white light. The semiconductor light-emitting device can include a casing having a cavity and a mounting surface, the chip mounted on the mounting surface, a transparent plate mounted on the wavelength converting layer within a top surface of the chip and a reflective layer located in the cavity so as to surround the transparent plate, the wavelength converting layer and the chip. The semiconductor light-emitting device can be configured to improve light-colored variability and light-emitting efficiency of the chip by using the reflective layer as a reflector, and therefore can emit a wavelength-converted light having a substantially uniform color tone and a high light-emitting efficiency from a smaller light-emitting surface than the top surface of the chip.
