Abstract:
An organic light emitting device is provided. The device has a plurality of regions, each region having an organic emissive layer adapted to emit a different spectrum of light. The regions in combination emit light suitable for illumination purposes. The area of each region may be selected such that the device is more efficient that an otherwise equivalent device having regions of equal size. The regions may have an aspect ratio of at least about four. All parts of any given region may be driven at the same current.
Abstract:
Phosphorescent organometallic complexes comprising phenylquinolinato ligands are provided. High efficiency organic light emitting devices comprising these compounds are also described.
Abstract:
OVJP depositors having an exhaust aperture incorporated into the center of a flow retarder (510) are provided. Multiple flow retarders may be used to increase uniformity for applications such as OLED lighting that require larger features. Flow retarders may transect a delivery aperture completely or may extend part way through its length.
Abstract:
A method for improving the operation of an OLED includes maximizing on-radiative transfer of excited state energy from the OLED's organic emissive material to surface plasmon polaritons in an enhancement layer by providing the enhancement layer no more than a threshold distance away from the organic emissive layer; and emitting light into free space from the enhancement layer by scattering the energy from the surface plasmon polaritons through an outcoupling layer that is provided proximate to the enhancement layer but opposite from the organic emissive layer.
Abstract:
Imidazophenanthridine ligands and metal complexes are provided. The compounds exhibit improved stability through a linking substitution that links a nitrogen bonded carbon of an imidizole ring to a carbon on the adjacent fused aryl ring. The compounds may be used in organic light emitting devices, particularly as emissive dopants, providing devices with improved efficiency, stability, and manufacturing. In particular, the compounds provided herein may be used in blue devices having high efficiency.

Abstract:
Organic light-emitting devices having a multi-component organic electroluminescent layer. The organic electroluminescent layer comprises a phosphorescent dopant and a host material that is a mixture of at least three different compounds: a wide band gap host compound, an electron-transporting host compound, and a hole-transporting host compound.
