  • Patent number: 7285912
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescence device with a low reflectivity includes organic electroluminescence layers, a transparent electrode, a thin metal electrode, a control layer, and an auxiliary electrode. The transparent electrode and the thin metal electrode are sited on both sides of the OEL layer, respectively, in order to excite it to emit light. The auxiliary electrode and the thin metal electrode are mostly separated by a control layer. Both the auxiliary electrode and the thin metal electrode are locally connected to maintain electrically connected. Therefore, the control layer is not necessarily conductive and its material selection is not restricted by the requirement of work function matching with adjacent layers. The disclosed OLED device with a low reflectivity does not require a circular polarizer. It can be used for both active-matrix and passive-matrix OLED displays. The reflection of ambient light can be largely reduced to increase the contrast of the display panel.

  • Patent number: 7030552
    Abstract: A dual-screen organic electroluminescent display device is made by encapsulating two independent conventional organic electroluminescent displays inside two substrates to reduce its weight and thickness. Meanwhile, only one encapsulation step is carried out and encapsulation cost would be lower.

  • 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: 6127693
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel polymer light-emitting diode (LED) which can emit near white light with a broad spectrum, which LED comprises a transparent electrode as an anode, a metal electrode as a cathode, an organic light-emitting layer, and a hole transport layer and/or an electron transport layer, wherein the organic light-emitting layer contains a blend of a blue light-emitting poly (paraphenylene vinylene) copolymer and a red light-emitting alkoxy-substrituted PPV derivative in an appropriate relative ratio, such that, the novel LED can emit sun light-like yellowish white light with an broad electroluminescent spectrum covering the whole range of visible light without varying as the voltage increased. And wherein, by virture of introducing a hole transport layer and/or electron transport layer, the turn-on voltage of the device can be lowered and emission efficiency thereof is increased.
