Abstract:
An organic light emitting diode (OLED) architecture in which efficient operation is achieved without requiring a blocking layer by locating the recombination zone close to the hole transport side of the emissive layer. Aryl-based hosts and Ir-based dopants with suitable concentrations result in an efficient phosphorescent OLED structure. Previously, blocking layer utilization in phosphorescent OLED architectures was considered essential to avoid exciton and hole leakage from the emissive layer, and thus keep the recombination zone inside the emissive layer to provide high device efficiency and a pure emission spectrum.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to reduced power consumption OLED displays at reduced cost for reduced information content applications, such as wearable displays. Image quality for wearable displays can be different than for high information content smart phone displays and TVs, where the wearable display has an architecture that in includes, for example, an all phosphorescent device and/or material system that may be fabricated at reduced cost. The reduced power consumption can facilitate wireless and solar charging.

Abstract:
Devices having multiple multicomponent emissive layers are provided, where each multicomponent EML includes at least three components. Each of the components in each EML is a host material or an emitter. The devices have improved color stability and relatively high luminance.
Abstract:
OLED-based devices that include at least two colors of emissive regions are provided, in which one region is optically coupled to a microcavity and the other is not. Devices including pixels in which only a portion of sub-pixels within the pixel are coupled to a microcavity are provided.
Abstract:
A hybrid pixel arrangement for a full-color display is provided, which includes an inorganic LED in at least one sub-pixel, and an organic emissive stack in at least one other sub-pixel. In an embodiment, a first sub-pixel is configured to emit a first color, and includes an inorganic LED, a second sub-pixel is configured to emit a second color, and includes a first portion of a first organic emissive stack configured to emit an initial color different from the first color. A third sub-pixel is configured to emit a third color different from the initial color, and includes a second portion of the first organic emissive stack, and a first color altering layer disposed in a stack with the second portion of the first organic emissive stack.
Abstract:
Full-color pixel arrangements for use in devices such as OLED displays are provided, in which multiple sub-pixels are configured to emit different colors of light, with each sub-pixel having a different optical path length than some or all of the other sub-pixels within the pixel.
Abstract:
Arrangements of pixel components that allow for full-color devices, while using emissive devices that use blue color altering layers in conjunction with blue emissive regions, that emit at not more than two colors, and/or that use limited number of color altering layers, are provided. Devices disclosed herein also may be achieved using simplified fabrication techniques compared to conventional side-by-side arrangements, because fewer masking steps may be required.
Abstract:
Light emitting devices including sub-pixels having different numbers of emissive layers are provided. At least one sub-pixel of a first color may include a single emissive layer, and at least one sub-pixel of a second color may include multiple emissive layers disposed in a vertical stack. Light emitting devices in which different voltages are applied to each sub-pixel or group of sub-pixels are also provided. In some configurations, the voltage to be applied to a sub-pixel may be selected based upon the number of emissive layers in the sub-pixel.
Abstract:
Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are provided that include two red emissive dopants. The two dopants may be disposed within a common organic emissive layer in an OLED, or each may be disposed in a separate layer. Configurations including multiple layers having multiple dopants are also provided, in which a first red dopant is disposed in a separate organic layer from a second red dopant, and a common dopant of another color, such as green, is disposed in each organic layer. Devices as disclosed herein are capable of providing an R9 value of at least 80, and of providing white light with a CRI of at least 80.
