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:
The present invention provides organic light emitting devices having a combined emission from at least two emissive materials, a fluorescent blue emissive material and a phosphorescent emissive material. The device may further comprise additional fluorescent or phosphorescent emissive materials. In preferred embodiments, the invention provides OLEDs having three different emissive materials - a red emissive material, a green emissive material and a blue emissive material. The invention provides a device architecture which is optimized for efficiency and lifetime by using a combination of fluorescent and phosphorescent emitters. Further, in preferred embodiments the device architecture provides a high color-stability of the light emission over a wide range of currents or luminances.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for evaporating a solid organic material by sublimation using an infrared guiding heater which minimizes temperature gradients in the bulk of the organic target. The bulk is heated to a temperature below the sublimation temperature of the target. A localized area of the target is sublimated by the infrared guiding heater while regulating the temperature of the bulk. The vapor is then deposited over, and condensed on, a substrate to form a solid organic layer.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a conventional 0rganic light emitting diode (OLED)(156) having one reflective electrode in combination with a least one transparent OLED in stacked configuration functioning as backlighting in a transflective display apparatus such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) (180). Preferably, at least two transpa rent OLEDs (154,152) are arranged in a stacked configuration with one conventio -nal OLED (156), each of the tree OLEDs emitting light of a different bandwidth (161N,161G,161B). The reflective electrode (117)located behind the backlight also serves as a reflecting plate for the display. This arrangement enhances reflectivity and permits color sequencing in the transmissive mode, allowing all the components of a full color display (i.e.red, green, blue) to emit through the same pixel without the need for a color filter
