Abstract: Structuring electroluminescent organic semiconductor elements can be achieved by providing such an element with a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer arranged therebetween. For structuring, areas of the organic layer are selectively destroyed by means of thermal action on the organic layer. The areas destroyed by the thermal action, such as by a laser beam, show no electroluminescence during the operation of the organic semiconductor element. A structuring can thus also be achieved on large-area semiconductor elements in a flexible manner and at low cost.

Abstract: Mass production encapsulation equipment and method for mass production of organic light emitting display devices, having a transporting system, a panel supply system, multiple dispensing systems, turning/storage system, cover plate supply system, lamination/ultra-violet radiation system, and an ultra-violet radiation system. The above systems are linked via the transmission system. Being supplied by the panel supply system, a panel is transported to the turning/storage system for turning over. The panel is then transported into alternate dispensing systems for resin coating. The panel coated with resin is again transported to the turning/storage system for storage. The first exposure stage is performed by an aligning lamination performed on the panel and a cover plate supplied by the cover plate supply system in the lamination/ultra-violet radiation system. The second exposure stage is further performed to cure the resin in the ultra-violet radiation system.

Abstract: An apparatus for rotating a CRT panel (12) to facilitate inspecting a seal edge (13) thereof includes a support structure (30) rotatably connected to a base frame (21) for rotation about a horizontal axis (31). The CRT panel (12) is placed into the support structure (30) with the seal edge (13) positioned in a holding groove (77) formed on a bottom door assembly (40). A top door assembly (58) is slidable to a closed position to enclose and support the CRT panel (12) while the support structure (30) is rotated 180 degrees. The bottom door assembly (40) is movable to an open position to inspect the seal edge (13). The door assemblies (40, 58) are both arranged to engage the base frame (21) and prevent rotation of the support structure (30) relative to the base frame (21) when the door assemblies are moved to their respective open positions.

Abstract: During manufacture, the components of a cathode ray tube must be protected against contaminants, such as dust, that will degrade performance of the completed tube. A protective tunnel, in which a contaminant-free environment can more easily be maintained, protects open cathode ray tube funnels that are moved between a coating station and a drying oven. Access doors may be provided to allow for cleaning and maintenance of the tunnel, as well as access to cathode ray tube funnels in the tunnel. A vacuum system may also be provided to clean airborne contaminants from the protective tunnel.
