  • Patent number: 12364095
    Abstract: An OLED is disclosed that includes an enhancement layer having optically active metamaterials, or hyperbolic metamaterials, which transfer radiative energy from the organic emissive material to a non-radiative mode, wherein the enhancement layer is disposed over the organic emissive layer opposite from the first electrode, and is positioned no more than a threshold distance away from the organic emissive layer, wherein the organic emissive material has a total non-radiative decay rate constant and a total radiative decay rate constant due to the presence of the enhancement layer, and the threshold distance is where the total non-radiative decay rate constant is equal to the total radiative decay rate constant; and an outcoupling layer disposed over the enhancement layer, wherein the outcoupling layer scatters radiative energy from the enhancement layer to free space.

  • Publication number: 20250228124
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device that includes an emissive material or region including a host that is doped with a first material as an emitter that is an acceptor and a phosphorescent-capable second material as a sensitizer. The first material and the second material each has a first singlet state and a first triplet state. The first triplet state of the second material is not lower than the first triplet state of the first material. The second material transfers excitons to the first material and the excitons that transition to the first triplet state of the first material can be activated to the first singlet state of the first material through a thermal activation process.
