Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to crystallizable glasses and glass-ceramics that exhibit a black color and are opaque. In one or more embodiments, the crystallizable glasses and glass-ceramics include a precursor glass composition that exhibits a liquidus viscosity of greater than about 20 kPa*s. The glass-ceramics exhibit less than about 20 wt % of one or more crystalline phases, which can include a plurality of crystallites in the Fe2O3—TiO2—MgO system and an area fraction of less than about 15%. Exemplary compositions used in the crystallizable glasses and glass-ceramics include, in mol %, SiO2 in the range from about 50 to about 76, Al2O3 in the range from about 4 to about 25, P2O5+B2O3 in the range from about 0 to about 14, R2O in the range from about 2 to about 20, one or more nucleating agents in the range from about 0 to about 5, and RO in the range from about 0 to about 20.
Abstract:
Described herein are improved dewetting methods and improved patterned articles produced using such methods. The improved methods and articles generally implement continuous ultra-thin metal-containing films or film stacks as the materials to be dewetted. For example, a method can involve the steps of providing a substrate that has a continuous ultra-thin metal-containing film or film stack disposed on a surface thereof, and dewetting at least a portion of the continuous ultra-thin metal-containing film or film stack to produce a plurality of discrete metal-containing dewetted islands on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are waveguides comprising at least one scattering surface, a periodicity ranging from about 0.5 μm to about 2 μm, and an RMS roughness ranging from about 20 nm to about 60 nm. Single-layer waveguides having a thickness ranging from about 1 μm to about 100 μm are disclosed herein as well as multi-layer waveguides comprising at least one high index layer and optionally at least one low index layer. Lighting and display devices and OLEDs comprising such waveguides are further disclosed herein as well as methods for making the waveguides.
Abstract:
An organic light emitting diode comprising a light extraction substructure and a diode superstructure is provided. The light extraction substructure comprises a light expulsion matrix distributed over discrete light extraction waveguide elements and a waveguide surface of the glass substrate. The light expulsion matrix is distributed at varying thicknesses to enhance the planarity of a diode superstructure-engaging side of the light extraction substructure and to provide light expulsion sites at the waveguide element termination points of the discrete light extraction waveguide elements. In operation, light originating in the organic light emitting semiconductor material of the diode superstructure is coupled to the discrete waveguide elements of the light extraction substructure as respective coupled modes characterized by an approximate coupling length defined as the propagation distance required for an optical mode to be coupled from the superstructure waveguide to one of the discrete waveguide elements of the light extraction substructure.
Abstract:
Described herein are glass substrates having oleophobic surfaces that are substantially free of features that form a reentrant geometry. The surfaces can include a plurality of gas-trapping features, extending from the surface to a depth below the surface, that are substantially isolated from each other. The gas-trapping features are capable of trapping gas below any droplets that are contacted with the surface so as to prevent wetting of the surface by the droplets.
Abstract:
An apparatus for light diffraction and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) incorporating the light diffraction apparatus is disclosed. An apparatus for light diffraction may comprise an optional planarization layer, a transparent substrate, a waveguide layer. The planarization layer may have a refractive index of ns. The transparent substrate may have a refractive index of ng. The waveguide layer may have a refractive index nw distributed over of the transparent substrate. The waveguide layer may comprise a binding matrix, at least one nanoparticle. The waveguide layer may be interposed between the transparent substrate and the optional planarization layer.
