摘要:
A method is disclosed for producing a high-resolution patterned layer on a substrate for use in making electronic devices. The method comprises micro-printing an inked pattern on a substrate with use of a rotatable stamp; passing the substrate to an apparatus for etching or depositing materials on the substrate, where the inked pattern guides the etching or deposition of material; and then optionally removing the inked pattern from the substrate with the application of heat, ultraviolet light, or wet chemical means. A high-quality transistor with a 2-micron channel length may be fabricated using the inventive method. The method is compatible with rapid, reel-to-reel patterning and useful for a range of applications.
摘要:
A tunable microlens uses a layer of photo-conducting material which results in a voltage differential between at least one of a plurality of electrodes and a droplet of conducting liquid when a light beam is incident upon the photo-conducting material. Such droplet, which forms the optics of the microlens, moves toward an electrode with higher voltage relative to other electrodes in the microlens. Thus, for example, when the light beam is misaligned with the microlens, the voltage differential causes the droplet, and hence the microlens, to realign itself with the beam.

The specification describes a lamination method for thin film transistor TFT devices wherein each ply of the laminate is a polymer and each contains a portion of the TFT or the interconnection circuit. The plies are laminated together using a solid adhesive polymer layer on the surface of one or both of the plies. The solid adhesive polymer layer has a low elastic modulus that provides effective encapsulation of the TFT, and laminates the plies without high heat or pressure.

An LED device that emits light in a pattern is disclosed. The LED device is a layer of active material that is sandwiched between a transparent substrate with an anode formed thereon and a cathode. The active material has a layer of light emitting material that emits light when electron/hole recombination is induced in the material. The patterned emission is defined by a patterned layer in the active material of the LED device. The patterned layer has at least a first thickness and a second thickness. When the device is on, the portion of the device associated with the first thickness of the patterned layer is visually distinct from the portion of the device that is associated with the second thickness of the patterned layer.
摘要:
A device in which one or more thin film transistors are monolithically integrated with a light emitting diode is disclosed. The thin film transistor has an organic semiconductor layer. The light emitting layer of the light emitting diode is also an organic material. The device is fabricated economically by integrating the fabrication of the thin film transistor and the light emitting diode on the substrate and by employing low cost fabrication techniques.

Thin film transistors in which the active layer is an ordered film of a pthalocyanine coordination compound with a field-effect mobility greater than 10.sup.-3 cm.sup.2 /Vs and a conductivity in the range of about 10.sup.-9 S/cm to about 10.sup.-7 S/cm at 20.degree. C. are disclosed. Examples of suitable pthalocyanines include copper pthalocyanine, zinc pthalocyanine, hydrogen pthalocyanine, and tin pthalocyanine. Thin film devices made of these materials have an on/off ratio of at least about 10.sup.4. It is advantageous if the device is fabricated using a process in which the substrate is heated to a temperature in the range of about 30.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C. when the film is formed thereon.
