Low Blur Effect and High Light Extraction Efficiency Enhancement of Organic Light Emitting Displays with Novel Microstructure Attachment

摘要

Microstructure film attachment and surface roughing techniques had long been utilized to improve the light extraction efficiency from a light source with a high refractive index. Instead of merely concerning the efficiency for lighting purposes, we must take both the light extraction efficiency and image quality into account for display applications. The image blur was observed to decrease the contrast ratio and thus lower image quality. In our previous work, we have studied the image blur effect quantitatively and correlated it to the coverage ratio and light extraction efficiency. In this paper, we apply an innovative microstructure array arrangement to planar light emitting device, i.e., for organic light emitting display (OLED) to reduce the blur effect and keep almost the same efficiency as that obtained by applying a traditional microstructure array.
