Abstract: A method and apparatus (200) for depositing a uniform coating (232) on a large area, planar surface (234) using an array (210) of multiple plasma sources (212) and a common reactant gas injector (220). The apparatus (200) includes at least one array of a plurality of plasma sources (212), wherein each of the plurality of plasma sources (212) includes a cathode (214), an anode (216), and an inlet (218) for a non-reactive plasma source gas disposed in a plasma chamber (202), and a common reactant gas injector (220) disposed in a deposition chamber (204) that contains the substrate (230). The common reactant gas injector (220) provides a uniform flow of at least one reactant gas to each of the multiple plasmas generated the multiple plasma sources (212) through a single delivery system. The at least one reactant gas reacts with the plurality of plasmas to form a uniform coating (232) on a substrate (230).

Abstract: There is provided an optical structure. The optical structure includes a lig ht source (14). The optical structure also includes an organic light management film (16) having an index of refraction of less than 1.7 disposed above the light source, and a transparent inorganic film (18) having an index of refraction of greater than 1.7 disposed adjacent the organic light managemen t film (16). A optical device is also provided including the organic light management film (16) and the transparent inorganic film (18). A method of forming the optical structure is also provided. The method includes depositi ng the transparent inorganic film (18) under vacuum.

Abstract: An article (200) has a plurality of raised features (220) on at least one of its surfaces. The raised features have a form of ridges or islands. The article is made by conducting a material through the space between two solid surfaces, at least one of which has a negative image of the pattern of the raised features, the material may be polymeric film. Such an article serves as a substrate (200) upon which a matrix of individually addressable light-emitting devices are formed. The substrate (200) is polymeric material and may be selected from polyethyleneterephthalate, polyacrylates and epoxy resins. The raised features on the substrate have a height in the range of about 1 to about 100 micrometers. The light emitting device preferably comprises a layer of organic electroluminescent material (234) sandwiched between two electrically conducting layers (230, 238).

Abstract: An organic light-emitting device (310) incorporates a composite article to provide an extended life thereto. The composite article comprises a substrate (340) having at least a substrate surface and a graded-composition coating (350) disposed on a substrate surface. The composition of the coating material varies substantially continuously across its thickness. The coating (350) reduces the transmission rates of oxygen, water vapor, and other chemical species through the substrate (340) such that the composite article can be used effectively as a diffusion barrier to protect chemically sensitive devices (320) or materials.
