Patent ID: 7316874

Claim:
A process comprising: a. forming a donor element comprising: i. a substrate; and ii. a transfer layer, wherein the transfer layer comprises a first layer and a second layer, the first layer comprises a material selected from organic semi-conductors, inorganic semi-conductors, light-emitting polymers, and light-emitting small molecules, and the second layer comprises a protective layer comprising a dielectric material selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxystyrene, polyvinlyphenol, polyvinylpyridine, glass resin, fluorinated copolymers and methacrylic copolymers located between the substrate and the first layer; b. placing the transfer layer of the donor element in contact with a receiver element; and c. exposing selected areas of the donor element to laser radiation wherein the transfer layer of the donor element is transferred onto the reciever element to form a positively imaged, patterned multilayer structure.
