  • Publication number: 20060237713
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a color organic electroluminescent display involves forming cathode electrodes on a substrate, and forming a first organic semiconductor layer having an electron-injection transporting property on the cathode electrodes. Solutions containing organic light-emitting material that can dissolve portions of the first organic semiconductor layer are patterned on the first organic semiconductor layer. Then, a solvent in the solutions is removed to form regions having second organic semiconductor layers and mixed organic semiconductor layers, wherein the second organic semiconductor layers are formed on the first organic semiconductor layer and are mostly composed of the organic light-emitting material, and the mixed organic semiconductor layers, composed of the organic light-emitting material and material constituting the first organic semiconductor layer, are embedded in the first organic semiconductor layer. Anode electrodes are formed over the first and second organic semiconductor layers.

  • Publication number: 20060033422
    Abstract: A full-color organic electroluminescence (OEL) display panel includes a substrate and a plurality of full-color OEL pixel devices in a matrix form as a display frame. Each of the pixel devices is composed of a plurality of sub-pixel regions, corresponding to R, G or B colors. Each of the specific color sub-pixel regions in the pixel device abuts the same specific color sub-pixel region of the adjacent pixel device thereof to form a double-sized area. With this arrangement of sub-pixel regions, it is easier to manufacture high-resolution full-color OLED panels by a metal-mask alignment process and high-resolution full-color PLED panels by an ink-jet printing process.

  • Publication number: 20060001364
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent stereoscopic image display apparatus includes a parallax layer and an organic electroluminescent device. The parallax layer is sited on the emission side of the organic electroluminescent device. The parallax layer transfers lights that are received by the right eye and left eye to be lights with different characteristics. A microretarder layer or a micropolarizer layer can be used as the parallax layer. The distance between the parallax layer and the organic electroluminescent device is minimized. So the view angle of the stereoscopic image display apparatus is increased.

  • Publication number: 20050176953
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a phenanthrene derivative having the following structure: wherein Ar1 and Ar2 independently are phenyl, nathphyl, heterocyclic group, polycyclic aromatic or polycyclic heterocyclic group with at least one conjugated substituent. The conjugated substituent can be an electron withdrawing group or electron donating group. The phenanthrene derivatives have semiconductor properties of electron transfer, electroluminescence (EL), and photoluminescence (PL). Intermolecular stacking can be avoided and electron-luminescent emission stability is enhanced when the derivatives are applied as a light-emitting material in organic EL devices due to the presence of the two stereo cyclopentane rings, such as a host compound or a dopant emitting blue light.

  • Patent number: 6586876
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic light-emitting device which provides an electroluminescence (EL) or photoluminescence (PL) device with high external quantum efficiency. The present invention forms a composite film layer with continuously changing refraction indices between an ITO transparent electrode and a substrate made of plastic or glass. The refraction index of the composite film layer is the same as the ITO electrode at the interface with the ITO electrode. It decreases along the direction perpendicular to the substrate in a linear or nonlinear way. The refraction index is the same as that of the plastic or glass at the interface with the substrate. This way can avoid reflection due to the difference in the refraction index across the interface. The excited light originally trapped in the ITO electrode can be guided outwards.

  • Publication number: 20030118950
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a full-color organic electro-luminescent device on an indium-tin-oxide glass substrate. A pattern is formed on the indium-tin-oxide glass substrate by the photolithography and the etching process. The indium-tin-oxide glass substrate is cleaned. An insulation pad is formed over the indium-tin-oxide glass substrate. A low shadow mask and a high shadow mask are sequentially formed over the insulation pad by conducting dry film photo-resist processes. A hole-transport layer is formed over the indium-tin-oxide glass substrate by conducting a vapor-depositing process. Three vapor-depositing processes are simultaneously conducted to form red, green and blue light-emitting layers on the hole-transport layer using the low shadow mask and the high shadow mask as a barrier. An electron-transport layer and a metal layer are serially formed over the light-emitting layers by conducting vapor-depositing processes.

  • Patent number: 6566805
    Abstract: A flexible organic electro-luminescent device is provided, in which a titanium dioxide-silicon dioxide composite layer is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of a transparent plastic substrate. A transparent conductive electrode and an organic luminescent layer are formed in sequence on one of surfaces of the composite layer. The organic luminescent layer is either small molecule luminescent material or polymer luminescent material. Then, a metal electrode is formed on the organic luminescent layer, and a silicon dioxide protecting layer is formed on the metal electrode to enclose the metal electrode and the organic luminescent layer completely. The titanium dioxide-silicon dioxide composite layer and silicon dioxide protecting layer are formed by ion-assisted electron gun evaporation in the temperature lower than 100° C., which does not result in the thermal loading to the small molecule and polymer organic electro-luminescent device.

  • Patent number: 6037190
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a full-color organic electro-luminescent device starts with forming an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer on a glass substrate, and then forming a blue-light emitting layer on the ITO layer. By irradiating predetermined portions of the blue-light emitting layer with certain light sources, pixels that emit different light colors are formed on the irradiated portions of the blue-light emitting layer. An electrode layer is then formed on the corresponding pixels, wherein the electrode layer is further covered by a protection layer. During the operation of the full-color OEL device of the invention, a driving voltage is applied on the ITO layer, the anode, and the electrode layer, the cathode.
