    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing working substrates for the deposition of various photonic and electronic devices, in particular for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) used for lighting and displays, where these substrates incorporate structural elements that improve the performance of these devices. These elements include nanoscale and microscale relief (3D) patterns on one or both sides of the substrate that are beneficial in controlling light and electrical properties of these devices by, for example, improving light output efficiency and uniformity. The present disclosure describes batch and roll-to-roll (R2R) techniques that allow these performance enhancing substrates to be efficiently formed, and at a much lower cost than can be achieved using prior art. Although one particular application relates to OLED lighting, such substrates can be used to enhance the performance of other devices, including flexible displays, touch screens, energy harvesting cells, sensors, and the like.

    Abstract: Methods are described for forming polarized image films in which a displayed image changes depending on the state of polarization of a backside illumination source. Methods are also described for eliminating the leakage of unpolarized light through certain parts of the images resulting in unwanted visual artifacts in these images. Polarized dual graphic films achieving images with higher optical density and uniformity, minimum ghosting and mis-registration, can be made by a manufacturing technique that is faster, capable of higher production volumes, and that can produce polarized images at a lower cost. An exemplary method provides for forming a polarized image or pattern on an oriented substrate by using a negative patterned resist image or pattern formed by graphic arts techniques, followed by the imbibition of a dichroic dye or iodine ink to form a corresponding positive image in the areas not protected by the resist.

    Abstract: Durable seamless replication tools are disclosed for replication of seamless relief patterns in desired media, for example in optical recording or data storage media. Methods of making such durable replication tools are disclosed, including preparing a recording substrate on the inner surface of a support cylinder, recording and developing a relief pattern in the substrate, creating a durable negative relief replica of the pattern, extracting the resulting durable tool sleeve from a processing cell, and mounting the tool sleeve on a mounting fixture. Apparatus are disclosed for fabricating such seamless replication tools, including systems for recording a desired relief pattern on a photosensitive layer on an inner surface of a support cylinder. Also disclosed are electrodeposition cells for forming a durable tool sleeve having a desired relief pattern. The replication tool relief features may have critical dimensions down to the micron and nanometer regime.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and structures for improving the performance of thin-film electronic devices, in particular organic LEDs (OLEDs) used in lighting, are disclosed. Enhanced substrates, upon which OLED devices may be deposited, incorporate various structures for extracting light trapped in the device stack and substrate. The substrates provide an improved transparent electrode layer. Methods for forming planarized buried extraction structures to reduce disruption to the deposited device stack layers are disclosed, as are methods for providing smooth, planarized buried metal mesh conductors.
