摘要： A method for forming an electronic device such as a passive color OLED display. Bottom electrodes are patterned onto a substrate in rows. Raised posts formed by photoresist are patterned into columns oriented orthogonally to the bottom row electrodes. One or more organic layers, such as R, G, B organic emissive layers are patterned over the raised posts and bottom electrodes using organic vapor jet printing (OVJP). An upper electrode layer is applied over the entire device and forms electrically isolated columnar electrodes due to discontinuities in the upper electrode layer created by the raised columnar posts. This permits patterning of the upper electrodes over the organic layers without using photolithography. A device formed by this method is also described.

摘要： A device is provided having a first electrode, a second electrode, a first photoactive region having a characteristic absorption wavelength λ1 and a second photoactive region having a characteristic absorption wavelength λ2. The photoactive regions are disposed between the first and second electrodes, and further positioned on the same side of a reflective layer, such that the first photoactive region is closer to the reflective layer than the second photoactive region. The materials comprising the photoactive regions may be selected such that λ1 is at least about 10% different from λ2. The device may further comprise an exciton blocking layer disposed adjacent to and in direct contact with the organic acceptor material of each photoactive region, wherein the LUMO of each exciton blocking layer other than that closest to the cathode is not more than about 0.3 eV greater than the LUMO of the acceptor material.
