    摘要: A technique comprising: providing an assembly temporarily adhered on opposite sides to respective carriers by respective adhesive elements, the assembly including at least one plastic support sheet; heating the assembly while mechanically compressing the assembly between the carriers, wherein the strength of adhesion of one of said adhesive elements to the respective carrier and/or to the assembly is partially reduced during said heating of the assembly under mechanical compression; and wherein the strength of adhesion of the said adhesive element to the carrier and/or to the assembly is further reducible by further heating the said adhesive element after partially or completely relaxing the pressure at which the assembly is mechanically compressed between the two carriers.

    摘要: A technique comprising: producing an unencapsulated stack of layers defining one or more electronic devices including an organic semiconductor element; and then subjecting the unencapsulated stack of layers to a water removal treatment in a vacuum oven in the presence of an external water adsorbent; wherein the water removal treatment comprises heating the unencapsulated stack of layers in the vacuum oven for a time period longer than a control time period at which a spike in oven pressure attributable to the release of water from the stack of layers would occur with heating under the same treatment conditions but without the water absorbing material.

    摘要: A control component for a current-driven optical media is provided. The control component includes thin film transistors (TFT) for driving pixels of an active matrix optoelectronic device. An additional electrode is provided in a separate conducting layer within the control component in order to add a separate capacitance (C2) that is coupled to the gate electrode of the control component to supplement the capacitance (C1) already coupled between the gate and source electrodes.
