20080199665Method of Forming Flexible Electronic Circuits - A multiple layer photosensitive element having at least three differently sensitised photosensitive layers on one side of a support, such as a, transparent flexible support, is imagewise exposed according to a desired circuit pattern and developed to form two layers of conductive track patterns from each photosensitive layer, which may then be connected together by forming vias by drilling or in situ generation. The resulting multiple layer conductive element has application in the field of printed circuit board manufacture or as the backplane electronic element of a flexible display device.08-21-2008
20080290084Method of Forming a Flexible Heating Element - The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a heating element having a desired pattern of conductive tracks forming a power dissipative conductive track pattern with a desired resistivity and power output, the method comprising providing a photosensitive or pressure-sensitive element comprising: a support having coated on at least one side thereof a photo-sensitive or pressure-sensitive layer, which is capable of, upon imagewise radiation or pressure exposure according to the desired pattern and development of the resulting latent image, providing a metal image according to the desired pattern; imagewise radiative- or pressure-exposing the layer of the element according to a desired conductive pattern to form a latent image in the layer; and developing the element to form a conductive metal pattern, corresponding to the pattern of the latent image, on the support. The heating element may be formed on a flexible support and finds particular utility in heated window/windscreen applications.11-27-2008
20080316564Display Devices - A flexible display comprises a flexible dielectric layer (12-25-2008
20090142559METHOD OF FORMING CONDUCTIVE TRACKS FOR FLEXIBLE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS - Conductive tracks are formed on a support by providing a coated support where the coating is susceptible to forming a latent image upon pressure-exposure (e.g. a coating of a silver halide emulsion in gelatin), pressure exposing said coated support according to a desired track pattern to form a latent image of the track pattern and developing the latent image to form a conductive metal track pattern corresponding to the latent image. The latent image may be formed, for example, by applying pressure using a stylus or scalpel, an engraved stamp or a roller carrying a relief pattern. The method is capable of forming conductive tracks at very high resolution (e.g. 10 μm or less), optionally on a flexible support.06-04-2009
20100301337ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH SELF-ALIGNED ELECTRODES FABRICATED USING ADDITIVE LIQUID DEPOSITION - The invention provides a multilayer electronic device having electrodes, formed on a laterally extending first layer, the lateral position of each of at least two adjacent electrodes being defined by a channel in the first layer. Each channel is adjacent a deposition region, the material which forms each electrode substantially covering the deposition region to form a continuous conductive structure.12-02-2010

20090231670DISPLAY ELEMENTS - A device comprises one or more dielectric layers, one side of the layer or layers being conductive. A hydrophobic layer is provided on the other side of the dielectric layer. First and second fluids are located on the surface of the hydrophobic layer, the fluids being immiscible with each other. The first fluid comprises at least one ionic liquid. The conductive layer and first fluid are arranged such that they can be electrically connected.09-17-2009
20100175610INDICATORS - An indicator device includes a surface provided with at least one channel or at least one through-hole with at least two openings, wherein flowable material in an immobile state is provided adjacent to the channel or adjacent to a first opening of the through-hole, such that after application of a stimulus the material is directed along the channel by the action of capillary forces or into the at least one through-hole by the action of capillary forces and emerges at a second opening, thereby providing an indication of the application of the stimulus.07-15-2010

20080199984OLED PATTERNING METHOD - A method of forming a patterned, light-emitting device that includes mechanically locating a first masking film over a substrate; forming first openings in first locations in the masking film; and depositing first light-emissive materials over the substrate through the first openings in the first masking film. Subsequent steps include mechanically removing the first masking film; mechanically locating a second masking film over the substrate in a position that prevents particulate contamination in the first locations; and forming second openings in the second masking film. The second openings are in different locations over the substrate than the first openings. The first locations are protected from particulate contamination resulting from the formation of the second openings. Additional steps include depositing second light-emissive materials over the substrate through the second openings in the second masking film; and mechanically removing the second masking film.08-21-2008
20080241989OLED PATTERNING METHOD - A method of patterning a substrate according to several steps, including: a) mechanically locating a first masking film over the substrate; and b) segmenting the first masking film into a first masking portion and one or more first opening portions in first locations. Next, mechanically locate a first removal film over the first masking portion and first opening portions. Afterwards, one or more of the first opening portions are adhered to the first removal film. The first removal film and one or more of the first opening portions adhered to the first removal film are mechanically removed to form one or more first openings in the first masking film. Finally, materials are deposited over the substrate through the first openings in the first masking film.10-02-2008

20110146757LUMINESCENT SOLAR CONCENTRATOR - A solar concentrator device comprising a solar concentrator element comprising a radiation transmissive surface, a radiation absorptive material and a radiation concentrating/collection point and disposed on the incident radiation side thereof a recapture element for recapturing at least a portion of radiation lost from the concentrator element has improved solar radiation collection efficiency by reintroducing recaptured radiation into the concentrator element or by propagating said recaptured radiation through the recapture element to a radiation concentration point associated with the recapture element. It has been found that planar elements having a grooved or corrugated outer surface make for very good recapture elements for planar concentrator elements.06-23-2011
