Abstract:
Organic light emitting material may be effectively passivated in organic light emitting device display manufacture by selectively applying an organic passivation material to the recently deposited organic light emitting material. By a selective deposition process, other areas of the display need not be immediately passivated. As a result, contact areas (and other areas which should not be passivated) may remain unpassivated during the manufacturing process. By using organic passivity materials, incompatibilities between the organic light material and the passivation material may be reduced. In many cases, it may be desirable to limit the temperatures that are applied during the curing process. In one embodiment, ultraviolet curing may be utilized.
Abstract:
A sealing electrode for discharge lamp having electrically conductive cup, and an emitter pellet is disclosed. The cup seals a passage into the discharge lamp, and additionally supports the electrode pellet or tip for the discharge. The design enables the emitter, electrode and seal structure to be made separately off line, while also enabling the emitter to be protected from contaminants during subsequent assembly.
Abstract:
A dual-panel active matrix organic electroluminescent display comprises an organic electroluminescent display panel, an active matrix panel, and a conducting and adhesive material between these two panels. The organic electroluminescent display panel and the active matrix panel are fabricated separately and then adhered and bonded together. Therefore, the layout portion of a polycrystalline-silicon TFT can be increased. If a heat and pressure adhering method is used to bond the two panels, a transparent light-conducting region is not required for the pixels on the active matrix panel. If a UV light exposure adhering method is used, only a small transparent region is reserved for UV light curing. As a result, the lighting area of the organic electroluminescent display is almost 100%.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for anodically bonding an array of spacer columns to one of the inner major faces on one of the generally planar plates of an evacuated, flat panel video display. The process includes the steps of: providing a generally planar plate having a plurality of spacer column attachment sites; providing electrical interconnection between all attachment sites; coating each attachment site with a patch of oxidizable material; providing an array of unattached permanent glass spacer columns, each unattached permanent spacer column being of uniform length and being positioned longitudinally perpendicular to a single plane, with the plane intersecting the midpoint of each unattached spacer column; positioning the array such that an end of one permanent spacer column is in contact with the oxidizable material patch at each attachment site; and anodically bonding the contacting end of each permanent spacer column to the oxidizable material layer. The invention also includes an evacuated flat panel display having spacer structures which are anodically bonded to an internal major face of the display, as well as a face plate assembly manufactured by the aforestated process.
Abstract:
A flat-panel display includes a front glass, glass substrate, cathodes, gate electrodes, phosphor films, and anodes. The front glass has translucency at least partly. The substrate is placed to oppose the front glass through a vacuum space. The cathodes are formed on the substrate. The gate electrodes are placed in the vacuum space and spaced apart from the cathodes. The phosphor layers and anodes are formed on a surface of the front glass which opposes the substrate. Each cathode includes a metal member having many opening portions which is mounted on the substrate, and a conductive material containing carbon nanotubes filled in the mesh-like opening portions. A method of manufacturing a flat-panel display is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An image-forming apparatus with good yield and high reliability is provided by devising and improving the shape of a supporting member. Therefore, a flat type image-forming apparatus has at least a rear plate, a face plate arranged oppositely to the rear plate, and a supporting member arranged between the rear plate and the face plate and holding the distance between the rear plate and the face plate in an outer circumferential edge portion. In this flat type image-forming apparatus, the shape of a nook portion of the supporting member is set to an arc shape on the inner or outer side of a container.
Abstract:
An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components sandwiched between two substrates is disclosed. Each micro-component contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. An improved method of manufacturing a light-emitting panel is also disclosed, which uses a web fabrication process to manufacturing light-emitting displays as part of a high-speed, continuous inline process.
