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:
An improved elastomeric mold for use in fabricating microstructures, the mold having first and second surfaces, the first surface including at least one recessed microchannel and the second surface including an access opening or filling member that extends through the mold to the first surface and communicates with the recessed microchannel. The mold is used by placing it onto a substrate with the recessed microchannel facing the substrate. The access opening of the mold is filled with a liquid material which is capable of solidifying. The access opening continuously introduces the liquid material into the space defined between the microchannel and the substrate. After the liquid material solidifies, the mold is removed from the substrate thereby leaving a microstructure formed from the solidified liquid material on the substrate.
摘要:
A technique for forming functionalized particles, where such particles are readily formed into periodic structures. A layer of particles is formed on a substrate, a first material is deposited over at least a portion of each of the particles, and then a functionalizing agent is attached to the first material. The functionalized particles are then capable of being formed into an ordered structure, by selection of appropriate complementary functionalizing agents on a substrate and/or on other particles and/or on other regions of the same particles.

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.

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.

Input devices are provided. In accordance with an example embodiment, an input device includes an interface layer that flexes in response to pressure, a plurality of sense electrodes, a dielectric between the sense electrodes and the interface layer, and interconnecting circuitry. The dielectric compresses or expands in response to movement of the interface layer, and exhibits dielectric characteristics that vary based upon a state of compression of the dielectric. The interconnecting circuitry is coupled to the sense electrodes and provides an output indicative of both the position of each sense electrode and an electric characteristic at each sense electrode that provides an indication of pressure applied to the dielectric adjacent the respective sense electrodes.
