Electronically Active Primer Layers For Thermal Patterning Of Materials For Electronic Devices

US Patent:
6358664, Mar 19, 2002
Filed:
Sep 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/662845
Inventors:
Manoj Nirmal - St. Paul MN
Ha T. Le - St. Paul MN
Martin B. Wolk - Woodbury MN
Erika Bellmann - St. Paul MN
Fred McCormick - Maplewood MN
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G03F 734
US Classification:
430200, 4302731, 430312, 430319, 430964
Abstract:
The present invention provides an active primer that includes an electronically active material dispersed in a binder. The active primer can be disposed between a thermal transfer donor sheet and a receptor to assist selective thermal transfer of a material from the donor sheet to the receptor to form at least a portion of an electronic device on the receptor. The binder of the active primer can be selected to improve adhesion of the transferred material to the receptor, or to enhance other transfer properties. The electronically active material of the active primer can be selected to maintain a desired level of functionality in the electronic device being patterned on the receptor.

Thermal Transfer Element And Process For Forming Organic Electroluminescent Devices

US Patent:
6410201, Jun 25, 2002
Filed:
Jul 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/911952
Inventors:
Martin B. Wolk - Woodbury MN
Paul F. Baude - Maplewood MN
Jeffrey M. Florczak - Mapplewood MN
Fred B. McCormick - Maplewood MN
Yong Hsu - Woodbury MN
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G03F 734
US Classification:
430200, 430201, 430319, 430320, 430321, 430330, 430964, 156234, 427 66, 427592
Abstract:
Disclosed are thermal transfer elements and processes for patterning solvent-coated layers and solvent-susceptible layers onto the same receptor substrate. These donor elements and methods are particularly suited for making organic electroluminescent devices and displays. The donor elements can include a substrate, an optional light-to-heat conversion layer, and a single or multicomponent transfer layer that can be imagewise transferred to a receptor to form an organic electroluminescent device, portions thereof, or components therefor. The methods offer advantages over conventional patterning techniques such as photolithography, and make it possible to fabricate new organic electroluminescent device constructions.

Laser Addressable Thermal Transfer Imaging Element With An Interlayer

US Patent:
6461793, Oct 8, 2002
Filed:
Dec 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/738735
Inventors:
Jeffrey C. Chang - North Oaks MN
John S. Staral - Woodbury MN
William A. Tolbert - Woodbury MN
Martin B. Wolk - Woodbury MN
Claire A. Jalbert - Cottage Grove MN
Hsin-hsin Chou - Woodbury MN
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G03F 734
US Classification:
4302711, 430200, 430201, 4302761, 430964
Abstract:
A thermal transfer donor element is provided which comprises a support, a light-to-heat conversion layer, an interlayer, and a thermal transfer layer. When the above donor element is brought into contact with a receptor and imagewise irradiated, an image is obtained which is free from contamination by the light-to-heat conversion layer. The construction and process of this invention is useful in making colored images including applications such as color proofs and color filter elements.
