Abstract

An active matrix organic light emitting display and a method of forming the same. The AM-OLED including a substrate with a plurality of thin film transistors serving as driver circuits, a dielectric layer formed conformally on the substrate and the thin film transistors, a first insulating layer formed on parts of the dielectric layer to define the exposed surface of the dielectric layer as a predetermined transparent electrode area, a transparent electrode formed conformally on the predetermined transparent electrode area, a second insulating layer formed on both sides of the transparent electrode to expose parts of surface of the transparent electrode, an organic electroluminescent layer formed on the transparent electrode, and a metal electrode formed on the organic electroluminescent layer. The insulating layer smoothes the transparent electrode surface enhancing the luminescent characteristics of the AM-OLED.

Claims (14)

1. A self-sustained atmospheric pressure system for absorbing or scattering electromagnetic waves, comprising:

an electromagnetic source for producing electromagnetic waves;

a plasma panel disposed to receive incident thereon electromagnetic waves produced by the electromagnetic source, the plasma panel comprising:

a first dielectric having at least one capillary defined therethrough;

a segmented electrode disposed proximate and in fluid communication with the at least one capillary;

a second electrode having a first surface disposed closest towards the first dielectric and an opposite second surface, the second electrode being separated a predetermined distance from the first dielectric, the first surface of the second electrode being coated with a second dielectric layer, the assembled second electrode and second dielectric layer having at least one opening defined therethrough;

a power supply electrically connected to the plasma panel, the power supply being turnable on and off, a non-thermal plasma being generated between the first dielectric and second dielectric only while the power supply is on; and

a detector for receiving scattered electromagnetic waves reflected off of the plasma panel.

2. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the plasma is substantially uniform and the plasma panel absorbs substantially all incident electromagnetic waves.

3. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the plasma is non-uniform and the plasma panel reflects at least some of the incident electromagnetic waves.

4. The system in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the electromagnetic source emits multiple wavelength electromagnetic waves, and the plasma panel scatters waves reflected from its surface in different directions according to their respective individual wavelengths.

5. The system in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the degree of separation between the various wavelength components depends on arrangement of and spacing between the capillaries.

6. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the opening and capillaries are arranged substantially concentric with one another.

7. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the capillary is greater than the diameter of its associated opening.
