Abstract:
Disclosed herein are OLED devices (100) comprising waveguides (160) including at least one waveguide layer (390) comprising at least one inorganic nanoparticle and at least one binder and having an RMS surface roughness of less than about 20 nm. Lighting and display devices comprising such OLED devices are further disclosed herein as well as methods for making the waveguides.
Abstract:
A method for processing material includes sintering a portion of a sheet of material at a location on the sheet, moving the sintering location along the sheet of material at a first rate, and pulling the sintered material away from the sintering location at a second rate that is greater than the first rate.
Abstract:
A high silica content substrate, such as for a device, is provided. The substrate has a high silica content and is thin. The substrate may include a surface with a topography or profile that facilitates bonding with a conductive metal layer, such as a metal layer for a circuit or antenna. The substrate may be flexible, have high temperature resistance, very low CTE, high strength and/or be non-reactive. The substrate may be suitable for use in circuits intended for use in high temperature environments, low temperature environments, reactive environments, or other harsh environments. The substrate may be suitable for high frequency antenna applications.
Abstract:
A high silica content substrate, such as for a thin-film battery, is provided. The substrate has a high silica content, such as over 90% by weight silica, and is thin, for example less than 500 µm. The substrate may include a surface with a topography or profile that facilitates bonding with a coating layer, such as a coating of an electrochemical battery material. The high silica content substrate may be flexible, have high temperature resistance, high strength and/or be non-reactive The substrate may be suitable for use in the high temperature environments used in many chemical deposition or formation processes, such as electrochemical battery material formation processes.
Abstract:
An assembly for making and/or using carbon nanotubes includes a substrate and at least one of carbon nanotubes and precursors thereof. The substrate is SiO2 and has a thickness of less than 500 µm. Further, the substrate is bendable and has a surface with non-flat or non-polished texture such that surface comprises raised and recessed features. Carbon nanotubes and/or precursors thereof are coupled to recessed features of the substrate.
