Abstract:
An optical device and a method of forming the same is described. The optical waveguide includes a substrate, an etch-stop layer adjacent to the substrate, a barrier layer adjacent to the etch-stop layer, and an active waveguide having a lower cladding layer adjacent to the barrier layer. Also described is a method of coupling to at least one active waveguide. The method includes etching an active waveguide with a high selectivity towards a crystallographic plane to form a sloped terminice with respect to a substrate upon which the active waveguide is formed, and depositing at least one other waveguide over the etched sloped terminice and at least a portion of the substrate, wherein the at least one other waveguide is photonically coupled to the etched active waveguide to provide photonic interconnectivity for the etched active waveguide.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an electrophoretic display film which can be controlled to malfunction permanently within a period of time. It provides an elegant method to utilize an electrophoretic film for anti-counterfeit purposes. The concept involves the removal of strong barrier layer(s) from the film to allow the solvent in the electrophoretic fluid within the film to evaporate through weak barrier layer(s), and within a period of time, the performance of the display film will be significantly degraded and the film cannot be re-used.
Abstract:
A process for encapsulating an apparatus to restrict environmental element permeation between the apparatus and an external environment includes applying multiple barrier layers to the apparatus and preceding each layer application with a separate cleaning of the presently-exposed apparatus surface, resulting in an apparatus which includes an encapsulation stack, where the encapsulation stack includes a multi-layer stack of barrier layers. Each separate cleaning removes particles from the presently-exposed apparatus surface, exposing gaps in the barrier layer formed by the particles, and the subsequently-applied barrier layer at least partially fills the gaps, so that a permeation pathway through the encapsulation stack via gap spaces is restricted. The quantity of barrier layers applied to form the stack can be based on a determined probability that a stack of the particular quantity of barrier layers is independent of at least a certain quantity of continuous permeation pathways through the stack.

Abstract:
A gas-barrier laminate 10 of a structure in which a first inorganic barrier layer 3, a water-trapping layer 5 and a second inorganic barrier layer 9 are provided in this order on a plastic base material 1, wherein the water-trapping layer 5 is a layer in which a granular moisture-absorbing agent is dispersed in a matrix of an ionic polymer, the granular moisture-absorbing agent being capable of absorbing moisture to a degree lower than that attained by the matrix, and an organic layer 7 is provided between the water-trapping layer 5 and the second inorganic barrier layer 9, the organic layer 7 serving as an underlying layer for forming the second inorganic barrier layer. The water-trapping layer has excellent barrier property against water and is, at the same time, effectively suppressed from swelling despite it has absorbed moisture. The water-trapping layer is, further, effectively suppressed from losing its activity.
