Abstract: An electronic device is constructed with a passivation layer on a metal oxide surface of the device. The metal oxide can be on an electrode as a hole transport layer (HTL), hole injection layer (HIL), electron transport layer (ETL), or electron injection layer (EIL). The passivation layer is a polymer or oligomer comprising carboxylate groups that can be deposited on the metal oxide surface distal to the electrode from solution and optionally oxidized. The oxidation can be carried out by treatment of the deposited polymer with ultraviolet radiation in the presence of ozone.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a layered organic light emitting diode (OLED) device comprising a buckled structure that provides an improved light output relative to flat OLED devices. The buckled structure has a fine buckling with a quasi- periodicity of 100 to 700 nm and a gross buckling of 10 to 20 μm. Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of producing the OLED device comprising a buckled structure, where a transparent substrate is coated with a transparent elastomeric layer, upon which a thin metal layer of 20 to 100 nm is deposited at an elevated temperature. Upon cooling to ambient temperature, the metal layer buckles with the formation of a fine buckling with a quasi-periodicity of 100 to 700 nm and a gross buckling of 10 to 20 μm. The metal layer is oxidized to a transparent metal oxide layer with the retention of the buckling. Subsequent steps comprising deposition of at least an anode layer, an electroluminescence layer, and a cathode layer forms an OLED that has a buckling structure resulting from the buckled metal structure formed upon cooling.

Abstract: Embodiments of the subject invention relate to a method and apparatus for infrared (IR) detection. Organic layers can be utilized to produce a phototransistor for the detection of IR radiation. The wavelength range of the IR detector can be modified by incorporating materials sensitive to photons of different wavelengths. Quantum dots of materials sensitive to photons of different wavelengths than the host organic material of the absorbing layer of the phototransistor can be incorporated into the absorbing layer so as to enhance the absorption of photons having wavelengths associated with the material of the quantum dots. A photoconductor structure can be used instead of a phototransistor. The photoconductor can incorporate PbSe or PbS quantum dots. The photoconductor can incorporate organic materials and part of an OLED structure. A detected IR image can be displayed to a user. Organic materials can be used to create an organic light-emitting device.

Abstract: A white light generating device has at least four pixels where each pixel is a different colored light emitting device (LED) such that the combination of the pixels produces a white light of a desired color temperature upon demand. The LEDs can be organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) or inorganic LEDs. The LEDs can have a microcavity structure for enhanced light output and additionally permitting a broader range of color temperatures than can generally be achieved without the microcavity structure. The color temperature provided by the white light generating device can be changed to achieve different effects. By having at least four colors, more natural aesthetics of illuminated surfaces is achieved, as the reflected light from non-white surfaces is similar to that of reflected natural light.
