Monolithic parallel multijunction OLED with independent tunable color emission

A tandem organic light emitting diode (OLED) device comprised of multiple stacked single OLEDs electrically connected in parallel via transparent interlayer is recited herein. Transparent interlayers are coated by charge injection layers in order to enhance the charge injection efficiency and decrease the operation voltage. Transparent nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotube sheets (or graphene, graphene ribbons and similar conductive transparent nano-carbon forms) are used as Interlayers or outer electrodes. Furthermore, functionalization of carbon nanotubes inter layers by n-doping (or p-doping) converts them into common cathode (or common anode), further decreasing operation voltage of tandem. The development of these alternative interconnecting layers comprised of nanomaterials simplifies the process and may be combined with traditional OLED devices. In addition, novel architectures are enabled that allow the parallel connection of the stacked OLEDs into monolithic multi-junction OLED tandems.

Nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices with charge injection corner

An erase method where a corner portion on which an electric field concentrates locally is provided on the memory gate electrode, and charges in the memory gate electrode are injected into a charge trap film in a gate dielectric with Fowler-Nordheim tunneling operation is used. Since current consumption at the time of erase can be reduced by the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling, a power supply circuit area of a memory module can be reduced. Since write disturb resistance can be improved, a memory array area can be reduced by adopting a simpler memory array configuration. Owing to both the effects, an area of the memory module can be largely reduced, so that manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, since charge injection centers of write and erase coincide with each other, so that (program and erase) endurance is improved.
