Private banking is typically used by people that have larger than average account balances. People with larger sums of money typically need a different type of credit card than the average person. To help try to fit the needs of their customers with larger than average account balances the Amegy Bank of Texas offers a Private Banking Visa Platinum credit card.
The credit card chaser lets you compare credit cards today free of charge!
Just become someone that has more money than the average problem does not mean they know the most responsible ways to use a credit card. SmartMoney magazine offers great advice on how to use credit cards responsibly.
The Benefits of an Amegy Bank Private Banking Visa Platinum Card
Someone that needs a private banking credit card most likely needs a card that allows for a larger daily limit than a regular credit card. This private banking credit card also offers larger cash advances than a normal credit card.
This special credit card also allows the cardholder to be enrolled in the special reward points program without having to pay the annual program fee.
Benefits that are Available with all Amegy Bank Visa Platinum Cards
Even though someone with a private banking credit card might have access to some features that average customers may not, there are certain features that all Visa Platinum cardholders have. These features include free car rental insurance, a travel accident insurance policy worth $250,000 and free roadside assistance.
Another feature that is available with all Visa credit cards, not just the Platinum, is the zero liability policy. This policy protects the cardholder is their credit card is stolen and used. Any charges that were made to the cardholder's account without their permission and by an unauthorized cardholder will be reimbursed and the cardholder will not have any liability.
Visa also offers their cardholders identity theft protection, which helps the cardholder if they ever discover their identity has been stolen and a credit card has been opened with their information. Identity theft is the fast growing crime in the United States today.
The credit card chaser tool is eagerly awaiting your information so it can compare credit cards for you!

BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1

|BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1
|Mako Komao
|Yūki Katō
|Original Story:
|Toshimichi Mori
|Light novel
|Fujimi Dragon Book
|April 2011 (JP)
BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1 (ブレイブルーフェーズシフト1 BureiBurū: Fēzu Shifuto Wan) is a light novel written by Mako Komao, published by Fujimi Shobo and illustrated by Katō Yūki. It was released in April 2011.
The story revolves around Kazuma, a young student of the Magic Association that looks like Hazama. Celica apparently dislikes him and feels uncomfortable being around him. It seems that he is actually not human, and was created by Relius Clover to act as a new body for Yūki Terumi (who it seems loses his previous body whenever the Black Beast appears and vanishes). Terumi does not take over the body, rather he needs to form a mutual pact with Kazuma to fuse with him.
To try and stop that, Mitsuyoshi's younger brother, Tomonori, goes after Kazuma to kill him. He arrives too late and Terumi has already obtained the body. Terumi uses Ouroboros to kill Tomonori, but then gets defeated by Mitsuyoshi and Valkenhayn, and is sealed away by Clavis Alucard until the Great Dark War, when Konoe disregards the potential danger and unseals him. She uses a restricting compulsion spell on him called "Mind Eater'" that basically makes him a puppet that has to follow her orders and help them defeat the Black Beast.
AD 2106. The world is in chaos from the threatening Black Beast. At the Magic Association-governed island Magic City Ishana, a student Kazuma lives a normal life. But when he meets Yuuki Terumi by chance, history receives a new Phase Shift.
"If you can get the Blue, you can take back whatever you want. Things you lost, things you forgot, whatever."
Is that the prelude of destruction? Or a gospel of salvation…?
Within the light and darkness of the Boundary, hope and despair blend together. The curtain for a new episode of BlazBlue's official story has been raised!
The novel is 280 pages long and split into a prologue, six chapters and an epilogue.
- Prologue
- Chapter 1: Island of Green Wisdom
- Chapter 2: Cat of Scarlet Sunset
- Chapter 3: Mind of Blue Deviation
- Chapter 4: Doubt of Yellow Equilibrium
- Chapter 5: Night of Black Betrayal
- Chapter 6: Voice of Emerald Evil

Psoriasis cure
I have just gone through the article and found below: Characterized by pustules or blisters of non-infectious pus, pustular psoriasis though not so common, is perhaps the most traumatizing of all forms of psoriasis. The pus in the blisters consists of white blood cells that aren't infectious or contagious. Pustular psoriasis is generally found in adults and may be predominant in certain areas of the body such as the hands and feet. The common triggers for pustular psoriasis are pregnancy, emotional stress, certain medications, overexposure to UV light and other factors. Treatment Acitretin, cyclosporine, methotrexate, oral PUVA (the light-sensitizing drug psoralen plus ultraviolet light A) and TNF-alpha blockers, such as infliximab are the common means of treating pustular psoriasis. Will these medicines work ?

You bought your Cimarron because its performance and American engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles these days. When your Cadillac Cimarron was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes unique styling in their automobile. Car aficionados appreciate the a reliable name built into each Cadillac, and understand that only top quality repair Cimarron parts will suffice when repairs are needed.
In the earliest forms of transportation, it was realized that the wheel would turn much more efficiently if some friction was reduced at the space where it rotated. Believe it or not, your Cadillac Cimarron benefits from the inventions that date back about 5,000 years such as the axle and wheel hub. Cars and trucks need a wheel hub at the end of the axle for the wheels to bolt onto. Because your Cadillac Cimarron wheel hub needs to be bolted to a fixed position (wheel carrier) but rotate freely around the axle, a wheel bearing is usually pressed into the center. On some advanced wheel hub assemblies, your ABS ring and sensor may be included with it as well.
Don't let a broken Wheel Hub & Bearing bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. When your Cadillac requires a new replacement Wheel Hub & Bearing, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, then you will find the correct Cadillac Cimarron Wheel Hub & Bearing parts right here.

- Michael Brandon: Percy is a brave smart engine who enjoys working in the mountains on the land. Even tough he is little, Percy loves feeling like a really useful engine. One day, Homer Simpson came to see Percy.
- Homer: I have a very important job to do.
- Michael Brandon: He boomed.
- Percy: An important job!
- Michael Brandon: Cried Percy.
- Percy: Oh, thank you Homer.
- Homer: You are to take some school children up into the mountains. You must make sure they have a wonderful time and are back in time for their lunch.
- Percy: Yes, Homer.
- Michael Brandon: Said Percy. But he was worried. He wasn't sure he was good enough to make the trip special. When Percy arrived at the station, the children and the teacher were waiting on the platform.
- Percy: How am I going to make the children's day really special?
- Michael Brandon: He said to Toby.
- Toby: You know the mountains better than any engine.
- Michael Brandon: Said Toby. But Percy wasn't sure his best will be exciting enough. He felt like a very little engine indeed. Homer Simpson had told Percy's Driver to point out all the beautiful sights along the way.
- Percy's Driver: This is Old King Cole's Castle.
- Michael Brandon: Called his driver.
- Percy's Driver: It is very special and important.
- Michael Brandon: Percy saw the castle everyday. He didn't think it was special or important.
- Percy: I must think of something exciting to do.
- Michael Brandon: He thought to himself.
- Percy's Driver: This is the valley view.
- Michael Brandon: Said his driver.
- Percy's Driver: And here's the viaduct.
- Children: (gasp)
- Michael Brandon: Percy was still unhappy. The trip didn't seem wonderful to him at all.
- Percy: Must be special! Must be special.
- Michael Brandon: He tought. Meanwhile, Toby was working on the rocky ridge line. Heavy rains have washed the ground from under the tracks.
- Diddy Kong: These lines are too bumpy and uneven.
- Michael Brandon: Said Diddy Kong.
- Diddy Kong: The tracks must be closed for repairs.
- Percy: Must be special. Must be special.
- Michael Brandon: Percy was still trying to think of something that will make the children's trip special. He didn't know the linesmen have forgotten to switch the points.
- Percy: (gasps)
- Michael Brandon: Suddenly, Percy was on the wrong track.
- Percy: Oh no! This line is closed for repairs. Bust my buffers!
- Michael Brandon: Wailed Percy.
- Toby: Be careful!
- Michael Brandon: Cried Toby.
- Naomi: The tracks are very bumpy!
- Michael Brandon: Percy wooshed down the mountain like a roller coaster. The children cheered. Percy struggled up the rocky ridge with all his might. His coach clattered and bumped and bounced along behind. And the children oooed and aaaed. Percy struggled and struggled as hard as he could. He raced across an unsafe bridge. He was going so fast the teacher nearly lost her hat. Percy splashed under a waterfall, the children laughed happily and the teacher covered her eyes. At last, they could see the station. Percy was very tired and worried. What will Homer Simpson say.
- The Teacher: Phew!
- Michael Brandon: Said The Teacher.
- The Teacher: Just in time for lunch.
- Children: It was the best school trip ever!
- Michael Brandon: Cried the children. Homer Simpson wasn't cross with Percy, he was happy too.
- Homer: You gave the children a wonderful trip. You really are a very useful engine.
- Percy: Oh, thank you Homer!
- Michael Brandon: Sighed Percy proudly. Percy didn't feel like a little engine anymore.
- (Children cheer)

SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionI am on the original SDK : https://github.com/e...vernote-sdk-ios
SapSaw started following Related Notes broken on Evernote SDK for iOS version 1.3.1?
SapSaw posted a topic in Evernote API DiscussionHi, I am using the function EvernoteNoteStore:findRealtedWithQuery to find related notes. This code used to work perfectly before but lately it returns an empty list. I am using Evernote SDK for iOS version 1.3.1. Is this a bug and will it be fixed? Thanks!
SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionThanks Ciprian! The second solution works for me. I could not use the first one because of the issues you mentioned - everything was really small.
SapSaw posted a topic in Evernote API DiscussionI am using the evernote SDK on iOS. After getting a note, I am using the ENMLUtility function convertENMLToHTML:withResources:completionBlock: to convert the ENML note to HTML to display it. If I have attached images in a note or have a note that is an image, what I see is that the images in the note are not being scaled to fit the iPhone screen. Images are being returned in their original resolution in the returned HTML making the displayed note not very useful. Is this a known issue and if so, are there any plans to fix it? Thanks, Sapna

SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionThanks! Any idea when the next update to the iOS sdk will be?
SapSaw posted a topic in Evernote API DiscussionI am trying to make sure my IOS application handles Revoked/Expired Evernote tokens. I am doing what has been recommended: "You should check for expired auth tokens and trigger authentication again if the authentication token is expired or revoked by the user. You can check for expired using if(EvernoteSession isTokenExpiredWithError:error]) in the error block." Here is what I do: Through my application, I enable evernote functionality by calling authenticateWithViewController. Everything works fine. I then go ahead and revoke my application access via the Evernote web UI. The next time I make an API call (like listNotebooksWithSuccess), I get an error. The error when a token is revoked is not one that would be true in the call to isTokenExpiredWithError. The behavior I see following the error is unexpected too - the Evernote app is launched on my phone and the user is presented with UI to authorize my application. On authorizing my application, I see my application launched again but it goes back to the Evernote authentication page (it was launched with the evernote url of my application). Is this the expected behavior? Is there a way that I can suppress evernote displaying the authorization UI on finding an expired/revoked token at the point that I make the API call? I would rather that I get an error when I make an API call. The Evernote authorization of my app should be initiated in my app at a more suitable point in the flow of my application rather than directly on making a random API call. FYI, I am trying this on iOS6. Thanks!

SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionI saw the issue with iOS7 beta 4. I just tried with the iOS7 beta build 5 released today and it worked. Thanks!
SapSaw posted a topic in Evernote API DiscussionAuthenticating evernote in my application on a device running iOS7 beta via the Evernote iOS sdk does not work. The authentication UI seems to hang. Exiting the app and restarting the app shows that the authentication was actually successful but control was never returned to my application. Is this a known issue? When can we expect a fix? Thanks!
SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionThanks!
SapSaw posted a topic in Evernote API DiscussionFor personal notebooks (EDAMNotebook), I lookup restrictions (EDAMNotebookRestrictions) to check if I can create notes (the flag noCreateNotes). Is there something similar that I can lookup to see if I can create notes in a shared/business notebooks (EDAMLinkedNotebook). Thanks!
SapSaw started following API to check if a business/shared notebook is writable in iOS SDK?
SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionThanks. I just confirmed that if I create a note using Notestore.noteStore createNote:(EDAMNote *) success:^(EDAMNote *note)success failure:^(NSError *error)failure, launching evernote app with the url of the newly created note fails. Will the upcoming SDK make this use case easier too? Thanks!
SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionI did make sure that the MAC app had synced to the web before emailing the link. The reason I was trying this was to make sure that a future use case that I plan to incorporate in my iOS app will work. I would like to create a new note with some initial content from my application using the EN iOS SDK. I plan to make sure it has synced and I get the server generated note GUID back from the server. After this, I would use the note link to launch the iOS evernote app to allow my app user to continue editing the note. Based on my investigations, this will not be possible unless the Evernote iOS app has synced the note I just created.
SapSaw posted a topic in Evernote API DiscussionI created a note using my mac evernote app and immediately emailed the link and tried viewing the note on my iPhone via the email. Launching the evernote app using the link gives me the following error: "The note link refers to a note that does not appear to exist". While the error dialog is being displayed, I see the new note synced to the evernote app on my iPhone. After this, the same link works just fine. Looks like the evernote app does not wait till initial app sync is done to look up the note on the device nor does it lookup the EN server to see if the link is to a valid but as yet unsynced note. Is this a bug that we can expect to be fixed in the near future?
SapSaw replied to SapSaw's topic in Evernote API DiscussionNo, the shared notebook was not created by me - its a business notebook that I added - it was created by a co-worker. I got the link from the mac app by right clicking the note and then choosing the "copy link note" option. I also tried generating the note link by following the evernote documentation on Note Links.
SapSaw posted a topic in Evernote API DiscussionLinks to shared notes from shared notebooks pasted in an email or a 3rd party app show the following error in the iOS evernote app: "The note cannot be open because the note link is invalid." The link itself was copied from my Evernote Mac app and is valid and is of the form evernote:///view/user id/shard id/note guid/noteguid/linked notebook guid/ Links to personal notes work just fine. Is this a known issue?

The U.S. government, sometimes referred to as the "federal" government, has decided that a number of activities are criminal. These federal crimes are typically very serious and are tried in federal courts under special federal rules of procedure. Some examples of federal crimes include the use of biological weapons, acts of civil disorder, kidnapping, and racketeering, just to name a few. If you are accused of a federal crime, you should enlist the services of a federal crime lawyer who works with these federal laws and understands the federal courts and their procedures. This lawyer will be familiar not only with the elements of the crime you are charged with, but also with the defenses available to you.

|You can use assessment tools before a training event to determine learners' needs, expectations, and skills gaps. It's important to recognize the difference between needs analysis and skill gap analysis. Both are important, but show different things.
Just because a learner doesn't assess well on a skill doesn't necessarily mean that they need training on it. Needs analysis will help identify the skills needed for a particular job role or a specific project. Once needs are identified, only the skills that apply to those needs should be tested. Too many students get training on skills that they realistically won't use in their job.
During a training event, you can use practical or written exercises, quizzes, or exams to test learners' understanding and progress. These materials might be included in your courseware. You can also create them yourself.
When you create an assessment tool, you can use a traditional technique where learners choose a response from a given list. This can include such question types as: multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank activities. In this type of assessment, learners select the best answer from two or more choices. Another category is short-answer or essay questions. This type of assessment doesn't provide answers. It requires learners to respond in their own words, using their own creativity. If your content is primarily theory, this might be an appropriate choice.
If your course is skill based or hands on, then practical, real world exercises might be most appropriate. Give learners a problem to solve using the skills they've just studied.
On line assessments and simulations might also be available for your material. E-Learning can also be used in class as an assessment tool. These types of tools can give learners a more sophisticated form of interaction and m~can be tied to an existing LMS (Learning Management System) or HR system so results can be tracked and even reported.
It's helpful to use assessment techniques that include both formative and summative evaluation. The purpose of formative assessments is to provide feedback as learners progress toward a goal. This type of assessment might include quizzes on material recently covered or practicing newly acquired skills in an activity. Summative evaluations provide more of an overall picture of progress. This type of evaluation might include a final exam that covers all the material in a course.
In addition to developing and selecting assessments, knowing how to administer them is also important. Have you ever noticed that some people excel at quizzes, while others might freeze and do poorly? The same can be true of a variety of assessments. To get the clearest picture of a learner's understanding, you need multiple observations and multiple types of evaluations.
Research conducted by Dr. Ruth Clark, a respected specialist in instructional design and technical training, supports the fact that learners retain better if they practice and assess frequently rather than only at the end of a lesson or course. This is another justification for multiple observations and assessments. It also assists you, the instructor, in making course adjustments early and often. With such observations, you understand how your learners are doing. If you wait until the end of a lesson or course, it will be harder or impossible to adjust the course.
You'll also need uniform evaluation standards for all learners. This way you'll have a constant and substantiated comparison across learners based on everyone's performance. If the evaluations are not uniform it makes diagnosing problems correctly more difficult.

Bill Husted: Media Player should work to make CD of downloaded songs
Helpdesk No. 5
Q: Do you know of a free program that can make a CD from a computer's downloaded songs? From my XP, I used Nero, but now they are charging a fee. I now have window 8 and I don't know how to use its program to make CD copies. If there is no free program available, what program should I get that is easy.
Cecilia Huang
A: If working from downloaded songs ? something already stored on your hard disk, you should be able to use Media Player that comes with Windows. I find it easy to use. But if you want to copy a CD, you'd copy the music files on the CD to the hard disk and then put the ones you want in your Media Player library and burn a CD.
Q: I believe you have answered this before, but I can't remember it. Will switching to an SSD enhance the overall performance of a computer? There are some real bargains around today, but before separating myself from money, I'd like at least a good evaluation of such a thing. What are your "words of wisdom" on the topic?
Lee Robinson
A: Hi Lee, yes, things will go faster with a solid state drive. Compared to the time it takes for an old fashioned hard disk to retrieve and store data, the solid state drive moves at light speed. So you'll see better performance. But I always worry about expectations. I think you'd notice the difference but I'm not sure it would meet your expectations for speed. And since I can't know what you expect from it, what kind of a boost you'd like to see, I don't know if you'll be satisfied.
I've never bothered with a SSD. The speed I have now with a regular hard disk suits my needs. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try one if you wish. But keep in mind there are all sorts of things that speed up or slow down a computer ? the processor used, the amount of RAM, the type of video card, whether the Registry is in good shape, whether a computer has a bunch of malware. So the drive is part of that equation but wouldn't be the only thing I'd look at in the unlikely event I wanted to try to speed my own computer up.

Things to do in Darwin with kids when its raining
Hi Guys, did you know that there are still plenty of things to do in Darwin, even if it's raining? Yep it's true, our friend over at Around Darwin, have compiled a brilliant list of things to do with kids when its raining.
And if you've been to Darwin, you'll know that almost all of summer it's raining. In fact they don't even call it summer up there, they call it the rainy season… Ha!
Any way, enjoy the list of things, and don't despair when it's down pouring. Worst case you can just go singing in the rain!

08 Jun Sunset Over Bass Rock
Source: Maclean Photographic
This week I was supposed to have made my second landing trip to Bass Rock in two years but the weather and the sea state has forced the postponement of the trip for the third time in as many weeks.
While this is a disappointing situation living in Dunbar where the Scottish Seabird Centre boat trips leave from means I can just keep rebooking, with the next available trip on Sunday 26 June – fingers crossed.
Meanwhile I content myself with seeing Bass Rock every day I am home from the end of my road. On Tuesday I headed down to the cliffs to watch the sun setting over the Firth of Forth and provide some beautiful light through the sea fog that was hanging around off shore.
Using the Fujifilm X-pro2 and the 100-400mm Fujinon zoom lens I took a series of images as the sun headed down low before disappearing behind the cloud bank in the west.

Anyone who owns a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the absolute best replacement parts will do. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to find genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your Tahoe. You purchased your Tahoe because its reliability and value agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
No one wants to return to the days of truly manual steering systems without the assistance of a steering gear box. Your vehicle's steering gear box reduces the amount of effort you have to put into your steering motions while you drive your Chevrolet Tahoe. A worm gear, rack nut, ball bearings, and a sector gear all work together to increase the amount of force that your steering motion applies to the center or drag link; simplifying the turning process. Make driving your more of a pleasure and less of a pain with a properly working Chevrolet Tahoe steering gear box.
Don't let a Steering Gear Box repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the best replacement parts. Given all the trouble that can be involved with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When it comes to Chevrolet Tahoe Steering Gear Box parts, you can find them for 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

The invention relates to a method of fabricating and to the set-up of an active matrix display device formed of a plurality of pixels and comprising at least one thin film transistor element (in the following TFT element) on a first substrate for each pixel, a low work function material layer, in particular a structured cathode layer forming or contacting a pixel electrode layer, an active organic and/or polymeric electroluminescent material layer (EL layer) covering at least said low work function conducting layer, an electrically conducting high work function layer, in particular an anode layer on said EL layer and structured into elements desired for display as well as a second substrate covering said layered arrangement.
Light-emitting devices based on organic and polymeric electroluminescent (EL) materials are known (see Lit. [1]). For achieving a specific colour emission efficiency of such types of light-emitting devices, WO 96/03015 A1 describes an advanced fabrication process for a conjugated polymers based two part integrally connected light-emitting device, in which each polymer layer is separately pretreated, e.g. by a stretching process. The advantages of a polymer based light-emitting devices, in particular diodes, are high brightness with low power consumption and low driving voltages. The device structure is a relatively simple metal-polymer-transparent electrode sandwich wherein the material of the transparent electrode may be indium tin oxide (ITO). It is there-fore realistic and principally known to combine light-emitting polymer EL devices with active matrix driving like thin film transistors (TFTs) as proposed for example in EP-0 845 770 A1 or U.S. Pat. No. 5,747,928.
Typically, such devices require two electrodes of differing work function, at least one of which is transparent: one high work function anode (e.g. ITO, fluorine-dopen tin oxide, or gold) for hole injection and a low work function cathode (e.g. Mg, Al, Li, Ba, Ca) for electron injection into the organic or polymeric material. Up to now the transparent electrode in efficient devices is always the anode, which is in most cases applied to the substrate before diode preparation. Sputtering of ITO onto a finished device has been used, but the efficiency is poor and such processes are expected to damage the active polymer or organic layer. Frequently, but not necessarily, such devices comprise separate layers for electron and hole injection transport as for example proposed in the above mentioned WO-document, and occasionally in addition they also sometimes comprise an additional light-emitting layer sandwiched between the hole- and the electron-transport layers (see Lit. [2]). Flexible devices on polymeric substrates have also been reported wherein such substrates are coated with a high work function electrode, usually ITO and/or polyaniline (see Lit. [3]).
Active matrix liquid crystal displays (LCDs) driven by TFTs are commercially widespread, for example in notebook computers. In TFT/LCDs, an abbreviation of thin film transistor-addressed liquid crystal displays, each pixel element (pixel) is controlled by a thin film transistor. TFT/LCDs create a whole new world of technology in consumer electronics and in computer and communication systems. The market for TFT/LCDs is now growing much faster than expected and has an impact on new application fields, as well as conventional fields.
The structure of a single TFT in a matrix type arrangement of hundreds of thousands of TFTs is a FET (field effect transistor) and a pixel electrode. The pixel electrode is contacted to the source (or drain) electrode of the FET, and thus the effective window area (aperture ratio) is reduced by the size of the transistor area. The aperture ratio governs the brightness of the panel, thus the larger the aperture ratio becomes the brighter the display panel is achieved.
The concept of TFT/LCDs is not new, but rather old. As early as 1966 Weimer proposed the possibility of using TFTs as display switches (see Lit. [4]). A more detailed concept was described in 1971 (Lit. [5]), where the use of diodes or triodes (transistors) was discussed as switches for active matrix liquid crystal displays. The use of storage capacitors inplemented in parallel with the liquid crystal cell capacitor was also mentioned.
Hydronated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) was a late arrival in TFT technologies. However, it had a great influence in achieving practical TFT/LCDs. Since the first report by the Dundee group (Lit. [6]), a-Si:H-TFT has been recognized as a suitable device for TFT/LCDs. So far the combination of TFT and LCD technologies has been greatly growing and the market is already rather large.
However, the principle problems of TFT/LCDs are
a large viewing angle dependence if the LCD due to the application and use of twisted nematic (TN) type liquid crystals,
considerable dependence of the switching speed on temperature because the switching is greatly dependent on the viscosity of the liquid crystal itself, and
the liquid crystal injection process, necessary for cell filling takes several hours.
As mentioned above, the demand for portable uses of flat panel displays is increasing leading to the request for thinner and lighter flat panel displays. One approach to this goal are the polysilicon-based TFT technologies which are also progressing, especially with a proposal for integrating the required shift register within the TFT panel, thus reducing the number of connection lines of the TFT panel.
Recently a poly-Si-TFT-addressed polymeric EL display was reported by Cambridge Display Technology. Also known are active matrix driven displays based on polymeric EL materials, wherein the active driving elements are thin film field effect transistors (TFTs) of polysilicon or organic TFTs based on oligothiophene (Lit. [5]). In these reports the TFIs are deposited onto the transparent substrate before preparation of the EL devices.
Also known are techniques to modify the work function of metallic and semiconductor surfaces by attachment of functionalized dipolar layers, e.g. through chemisorption or electrochemical attachment (see Lit. [6]). Such modification has been shown for materials such as ITO, CdTe and CdS. An LED device comprising a modified ITO electrode was recently reported (see Lit. [7]). According to theoretical analysis, the change in the work function is proportional to the dipole moment of the attached molecules and their concentration, and is inversely proportional to their dielectric constants.
Lamination is a well-known technique for combining desired qualities of two or more different materials into a composite layer system and involves joining of the layers under application of pressure and/or heat (see Lit. [8]). Preparation of photovoltaic cell based on polymers by laminating two parts together was recently reported by Friend et al. (see Lit. [9]). Cabrera et al. (see Lit. [10]) reported a class of biftnctional materials for non-linear optics which comprised an aromatic group, particularly a styryl group, functionalized at the 4 and 4′ positions by trifluorosulfonate groups as an electron acceptor at one end and electron donor groups such as ethers, thioethers and amines on the other end. These materials exhibit high dipole moments while showing a relatively small visible light absorption. Due to the possibility of attaching further functional groups, e.g. alkyl chains, to both donor and acceptor groups it was possible to determine the direction of the dipole moment relative to the second function group. No applications of these materials in EL devices have been reported.
Bloor et al. (see Lit. [11]) have reported a class of molecules derived from TCNQ which exhibit dipole moments of up to 25-30 Debye. No applications of these materials to EL devices have been reported.
In addition to the conceptional inconsistencies of light-emitting devices briefly mentioned above, having regard to the problems of which the invention offers a solution, the following disadvantages, shortcomings or needs of the state of the art have been discovered by the inventors.
a. The low work function cathode materials needed for high efficiency devices are typically unstable against oxidation by oxygen or water. Because of this, such devices and displays comprising a matrix of such devices must be thoroughly encapsulated to eliminate water and oxygen from the device. This is particularly difficult when flexible devices on polymeric substrates are desired (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,747,928), because a transparent, flexible and thoroughly impervious barrier layer must be applied to the side of the device comprising the transparent electrode, and thus far no such materials with sufficient barrier properties have been reported.
b. A further disadvantage of the use of oxidation sensitive cathode materials is there incompatibility with standard photolithographic processing, which will be necessary to achieve high resolution multicolour displays at reasonable prices.
c. Under the current state of the art, it is necessary for the achievement of high efficiency devices to prepare the devices onto a transparent anode material deposited onto a substrate and to evaporate the cathode onto the organic and/or polymeric layers. This eliminates the possibility to modify the cathode work function by chemical means and to use more stable materials.
d. Furthermore, according to the state of the art, in active matrix displays comprising organic and/or polymeric EL devices it is necessary to apply the (non-transparent) TFTs to the substrate before preparation of the EL device. This is a problem because in emissive displays, in which each pixel element consists of a different device element like a TFT, it is difficult to obtain uniformity over the screen, because of the deviation of the each element's electrical porperties. In order to circumvent a deviation of the brightness over the screen, one should perform some compensation by a built-in circuit in or for each pixel element. If the additional circuits are fabricated in the TFT pixel, it means a reduction of the aperture ratio. With the conventional TFT concept, the aperture ratio is reduced even more with an increase of the resolution or number of the pixels on the panel.
With the above discussed observations and drawbacks in mind, it is an object of the invention to teach a modified or new manufacturing process and a new structure for active matrix display devices offering high resolution displays with a good uniformity of brightness over the screen and simultaneously showing a high aperture ratio.
The invention concerns displays comprising devices which contain organic or polymeric EL materials and its preparation and application, wherein solution to the problems and the objects described above can be achieved.
A method of fabricating an active display device according the invention is defined in claim 1. Advantageous modifications and embodiments of such a manufacturing method are the subject-matter of dependent claims.
An active matrix display device and its specific structure according to the invention is the subject-matter of claim 10 with advantageous modifications and improved embodiments being defined in further dependent claims.
As mentioned above, the combination of TFTs and LEPs (light-emitting polymers) is promissing in terms of eliminating the viewing dependence and temperature dependence of the response speed in TFT/LCDs, which are crucial problems for displays available on the market. However, the current state of the art leads to poor aperture ratios for high resolution displays based on polymeric EL material.
The invention as defined in at least one of the appended claims solves the above problems by metal (pixel electrode) fabrication on the TFT side of one of the substrates, such that at least a major part of each TFT is burried under a pixel electrode allowing for an active matrix addressing of the polymeric EL pixels while maintaining a high aperture ratio even at high resolution.
The fabrication method according to the invention and the resulting product of an active matrix display device will be described in further details by way of examples and embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings of which
FIG. 1A to 1K visualize sequences and intermediate results of process steps for an active-matrix display device according to the invention;
FIG. 2A to 2K exemplify basically the same process steps as FIG. 1 with an advantageous modification in FIG. 2A2;
FIG. 3A to 3K show basically the same process steps and intermediate production stages as FIGS. 2A to 2H with an advantageous modification in FIG. 3D1; and
FIG. 4A to 4K show process steps and intermediate production stages corresponding to those of FIG. 3A to 3K with a further modification in FIG. 4G1.
A first sequence of process steps according to the invention and one embodiment of the device prepared thereby are described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1K.
First, a matrix of TFTs 2, each comprising a source region S, a drain D and a gap or channel region C, is prepared on a substrate material 1, which may, but must not be transparent, and may be, but is not limited to silicon wafers, transparent glass or a transparent polymer material, e.g. PET, polysulfone, cycloolefinic copolymers or poly-carbonates or flexible composite materials. The substrate may include reflective layers to reflect light emitted in the direction of the substrate.
One or in the case of a multi-colour display more (e.g. three or four) TFTs 2 can be assigned to each pixel of a display. The actual fabrication procedure for the TFTs up to this point can be almost the same as for conventional TFT substrates as used for liquid crystal displays.
Next, a non-conductive passivation layer 3, which may comprise inorganic (e.g. SiO2) and/or organic (e.g. a cured photoresist) non-conductive materials, is applied in such a way as to cover the source electrode or source region S and the gap or channel region C but to leave at least some part of the drain electrode or drain region D exposed. This layer 3 may be applied using standard lithographic techniques but may also be applied using other techniques such as shadow mask evaporation (see FIG. 1B).
Subsequently a matrix of cathodes 5, which can cover also the area covered by the TFTs and which define the area of the pixels in a display device according to the invention is applied, for example by vacuum evaporation or sputtering. The cathode layer 5 (see FIG. 1C) may comprise but is not limited to Al, Mg, Ca, Ba, Li, Ag, In or any alloys comprising two or more of these metals. In a preferred embodiment of the invention a stable metal such as Al or alloys thereof is used, which is resistant to photolithographic processing. A cathode layer 5 may be structured into pixel elements 5 a, 5 b, . . . desired each for a display element by using conventional processes, such as dry etching by oxygen or tetrafluorocarbon etc., or by wet etching processes with e.g. HNO3/CH3/ COOH/H3PO4.
It may be and usually it is advantageous to apply an additional flattening layer or partial layer 4 to the pixels in such a way as to create a flat surface at the top of the cathode layer 5 and the pixel electrodes 5 a, 5 b, . . . , respectively. This may for example be done by evaporation of further cathode material using for example a shadow mask or by spincoating of organic materials out of a solution. Alternatively the flattening layer 4 may be applied using the same methods before deposition of the cathode layer 5 (see FIG. 1C and 1D).
After structuring the pixel areas (FIG. 1D) one or more composite active organic and/or polymeric layer(s) is (are) applied to the cathode material, i.e. on top of the pixel areas. The composition of the layer(s) 6 may include any of the types of materials known in the literature or referred to in the state of the art. Coating may be done by spincoating, doctor blading, transfer printing, curtain coating, slot-dye coating, or printing techniques such as screen printing (see FIG. 1E).
On a second, preferably optically transparent substrate 8 (FIG. 1F), which may consist of but is not limited to any of the materials described above for the first substrate 1, a transparent high work function electrode, e.g. an anode 7 such as described in the state of the art is deposited. If it is desired for certain embodiments of the invention, the anode layer may be structured into the elements 7 a, 7 b, . . . desired for a display using standard methods such as lithography and etching. Structuring of the anode is, however, optional and may not be necessary even for high resolution displays. Subsequently one or more active organic and/or polymeric layers 6′ are applied to the structured anode layer elements 7 a, 7 b, . . . , respectively. The composition of such polymeric layers may include any of the types of materials known in the literature or referred to in the description of the state of the art. Again, coating may be done by spin-coating, doctor blading, transfer printing, curtain coating, slot-dye coating, or other printing techniques such as screen printing.
The process for manufacturing said two layered structures shown in FIG. 1E and FIG. 1H, respectively, is quite simple and favourable for mass production.
Subsequently the two coated substrates 1 to 6 and 8 to 6′ are laminated together by application of heat and/or pressure as illustrated in FIG. 1K. As the polymers have glass transition temperature or if it is a liquid crystalline polymer, it must have phase transition temperature from solid to liquid crystalline state or isotropic state, in which the viscosity of the polymer decreases. Above these appropriately selected temperatures the application of pressure can lead to good physical and electrical contact between the two polymer layers 6 and 6′. Therefore, the temperature of lamination should be higher than the glass transition temperature of at least one of the organic and/or polymeric layers. After or during the process of lamination the device or display comprising such devices may be encapsulated if this is necessary or desired.
In another modified process or embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2K, a conventional TFT display substrate 1 such as used in the manufacture of liquid crystal displays is used as a substrate. Such substrates contain a matrix of TFTs 2 and of electrodes 1 a usually made of ITO which define the pixel areas in such LCDs (see e.g. EP 0 845 770 A1). To this substrate 1 already provided with said TFT 2 and said electrodes 1 a is first applied as above a non-conductive passivation layer 3 which covers the TFTs 2 but leaves part of the ITO electrodes la exposed.
Subsequently a matrix of cathodes, i.e. in large pixel areas 5 a, 5 b, . . . as above is deposited, which cover also the area containing the TFTs 2 and which in each case define the active area of a pixel in a device according to the invention.
According to this invention, each pixel area is defined by the respective area 5 a, 5 b, . . . of the cathode. Thus the cathode electrode is the respective pixel electrode. The source electrode area S and the drain D of the TFT are covered by the non-conductive passivation layer 3 while the drain electrode is in contact with the respective cathode/pixel electrode 5 a, 5 b. By this arrangement a high aperture ratio even at high resolution is achieved.
The further process steps depicted in FIG. 2F to 2K are essentially the same as those described above in connection with FIG. 1A to 1K. Again, if it is desired, an additional conductive layer 4 for the purpose of flattening the layer structure may be applied before or after deposition of the cathode layer 5 as described above.
In preferred process modifications and embodiments of the invention the pixel or cathode regions 5 a, 5 b, . . . and/or the anode regions 7 a, 7 b, . . . may be modified chemically before application of the organic and/or polymeric layer 6, 6′ by absorption of functionalized dipoles. The functional groups which may be used to attach the dipoles may be, but are not limited to:
Carboxylic acids
The molecules which are attached to the pixel regions 5 a, 5 b, . . . and/or the anode regions 7 a, 7 b, . . . in order to modify them may comprise in one especially preferred embodiment of the invention the same functional group for light emission and/or charge transport as the active organic or polymeric layer in the device which is adjacent to the thus modified electrode.
In another especially preferred embodiment of the invention the attached molecules comprise structures of the following formula
where P is a π-conjugated system such as
where Rd is an electron donor group and Ra is an electron acceptor group.
Rd may be chosen from the following groups
where R, R′ and R″ are independently of each other equal H or CnH(2n+1)Ratt,
Ratt=one of the above attachment groups or H,
n=0-20, preferred 0-10,
R′ and R″ may be the same or different, but one of R′ and R″ must be ≠H.
Ra may be chosen from the following groups:
where o+p=2n+1n=0−20, preferred 0−10.
Under the condition that one of Ratt≠H.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention the attached molecules are of the form
where either Ratt or Ratt 1 is an attachment group.
In another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention molecules of the following form are used for surface modification:
where R′ and R″ independently of each other=H or CnH(2n+1)Ratt,
Ratt=one of the above attachment groups or H,
n=0-20, preferred 0-10, and
R′ and R″ may be the same or different, but one of R′ and R″ must be≠H.
Subsequent to the modification of the cathode 5 and/or the anode 7 the organic and/or polymeric material which is desired to be proximate to the modified electrode is applied. As mentioned above, this may be done by spincoating, doctor blading, transfer printing, curtain coating, slot-dye coating, or other printing techniques such as screen printing.
The main advantages of the invention over the state of the art are the following:
The process of separate lamination allows for both electrodes 5 a, 5 b, . . . and 7 a, 7 b, . . . to be chemically modified for optimization of charge carrier injection which is not possible when one electrode must be deposited directly on top of the organic layer. In addition, the lamination of two polymer coated films 6 and 8, respectively can lead to a convenient, inexpensive production process which is compatible with a further lamination step for encapsulation.
The modification of the electrodes 5 a, 5 b, . . . and 7 a, 7 b, . . . particularly the replacement of the usually unstable cathode by a stable electrode material like Al or an Al alloy, provides the possibility of manufacturing stable and efficient display devices, in comparison to the state of the art, forcing one to choose between stable cathode materials and high electron injection efficiency. Therefore, it will be possible in the future to prepare highly efficient organic light-emitting devices and displays using materials which are less stringent in their requirements for encapsulation and which are compatible with standard lithographic techniques for preparing structures.
The process of a separate lamination furthermore allows for the TFTs necessary for high resolution displays to be deposited before the preparation of the light emitting element and on the non-transparent side of the display device, thus enabling a display with a higher aperture ratio than is possible with the state of the art.
A TFT panel of 513000 (1068�480) pixels and with a diagonal size of 1.35 inches (3,43 cm) is selected and an Al electrode (e.g. 5 in FIG. 1C) is vacuum evaporated at a thickness of 50 nm. The panel is photo resist coated and processed by a usual photolitho-graphic process and dry etched with oxygen at a pressure of 10−3 torr only at data and gate line areas. The etching rate is 100 nm/min.
Subsequently (poly)octylfluorene of a molecular weight of 4000 dissolved in p-xylene at a concentration of ca. 20 mg/ml is spin coated onto the thus prepared substrate. The spin coater condition is 100 rpm for 4 seconds and then 3000 rpm for 30 seconds to obtain a 70 nm thick film 6 on the Al electrode (cathode 5 a, 5 b, . . . in FIG. 1D) of the TFT panel.
On a second substrate 8, which comprises 0.7 mm thick Corning 7059 glass with a 50 nm ITO film 7, which may be structured as needed using standard lithographic techniques (FIG. 1F), a 70 nm layer 6′ of poly(octylfluorene) is deposited as above, is set on a previously applied polyfluorene film.
Then the TFT panel (FIG. 1E) is placed on a hot plate which is set at 180� C. and kept at this temperature for 3 min. The second substrate (FIG. 1H) is applied to the first so that the two polymer layers 6, 6′ are in face-to face contact with each other and heating is continued for another 3 min. Finally, a weight of 1 kg is applied on the combined panel under maintenance of the same temperature (see FIG. 1K).
The pressure at heat is maintained for 10 min. Subsequently the whole device is cooled at a rate of 0.5� C./min.
The glass edges of the laminated device are encapsulated with epoxy resin to keep out water and oxygen.
With this process and the device structure mentioned above, a TFT/LEP display with 513000 pixels and a diagonal size of 1.35″ (3.43 cm) is obtained which can have a brightness of 10 Cd/m2 and the driving voltages are below 15 V.
A display device is prepared as in Example 1 with the following modifications (see FIGS. 3A to 3K):
Between the etching of the Al electrode (cathode pixels 5 a, 5 b) and the deposition of layer 6 of poly(octylfluorene) the panel is dipped into a breaker 10 (FIG. 3D1) containing a 5 mg/ml solution in a mixture of acetonitrile and ethyl alcohol of the following composition for 5 minutes:
Subsequently the panel is rinsed in ethanol and dried under air at 50� C. for 5 min before deposition of the polymer layer 6. The rest of the preparation is as described in Example 1.
With the process of Example 2 and the structure described above, a TFT-LEP display with 513000 pixels and a diagonal size of 1.35″ (3.43 cm) is obtained with a brightness of about 50 Cd/m2 and with driving voltages below 15 V.
A device is prepared as in Example 1 with the following differences (see FIGS. 4A to 4K). Between the etching of the Al electrode (e.g. cathode pixels 5 a, 5 b, . . . ; ) and the deposition of the layer 6 of poly(octylfluorene) the panel is dipped into a breaker 10 containing a 5 mg/mil solution in a mixture of acetonitrile and ethyl alcohol of the following chemical composition for 5 min:
Subsequently the panel is rinsed in ethanol and dried under air at 50� C. for 5 min before deposition of the polymer layer 6. After preparation of the ITO electrodes (e.g. anodes 7 a, 7 b, . . . ) the second substrate is dipped into a breaker 11 containing a 5 mg/ml solution in a mixture of acetonitrile and ethanol of the following chemical composition for 5 min (FIG. 4D1):
Subsequently the panel is rinsed in ethanol and dried under air at 50� C. for 5 min before deposition of the polymer layer 8. The rest of the preparation is as described in Example 1.
With the process and the arrangement described in this Example a TFT/LEP display with 513000 pixels and a diagonal size of 1.35″ (3.43 cm) is obtained having a brightness of 100 Cd/m2 and driving voltages below 12 V.

Hi Mike,
At the moment our email tickets are being sent in a txt format.
Is there anyway to produce them in a HTML format.
i.e to add our logo etc?
