Novel Full Color Flat Panel Display Technology Employing High Performance, Crystalline Organic Semiconductor Light Emitting Diodes

摘要

During the course of this program, several breakthroughs in the development of full color flat panel displays based on organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) were made. In particular, we demonstrated the first transparent OLED, flexible OLED based on molecular organic materials, and full color stacked OLED. These three devices, along with several other similar structures, including high efficiency devices employing shaped substrates and inverted, integratable OLEDs, provide a range of tools which change the possibilities for realizing very high resolution, high efficiency, and light weight OLED based displays for a wide range of DOD and commercial applications. In other advances, we developed a model linking current transport and eletroluminescence in molecular OLEDs, and have worked closely with several industrial partners to rapidly transfer technology from the conceptual, laboratory phase into commercial applications.
