  • Publication number: 20060238120
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to avoid the above-mentioned problems and provide a multicolor OLED display with improved power efficiency that reduces the need for precisely patterning one or more of the OLED layers. This object is achieved by an OLED display having at least red, green, and blue colored pixels, including a magenta light emitting layer provided over a substrate for red and blue pixels and a green light emitting layer provided over the substrate for producing at least a green pixel. It is also achieved by first and second color filters in operative relationship with the magenta light-emitting layer to respectively produce red and blue pixels.

  • Publication number: 20060105198
    Abstract: A method for selecting two different light-emitting materials for use in an OLED device, each of which produces different color light, which combine to produce white light. Each light emitting material has its own point on a chromaticity diagram, and the light-emitting materials are selected such that, when a line is drawn between the first point and the second point, it passes through a desired white area defined on a chromaticity diagram.

  • Publication number: 20050176230
    Abstract: A method of making an electronic device in which a conductive electrode has been formed over a substrate including using a liquid to clean the conductive electrode, heating in a processing station the conductive electrode to a temperature which dries the conductive electrode and thereby removes residual cleaning liquid applied during the cleaning step, and providing an oxidizing plasma in the processing station to modify the properties of the conductive electrode. The method also includes producing a fluorocarbon plasma in the processing station to form a fluorocarbon layer over the modified conductive electrode, and further processing the structure to produce the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20050147844
    Abstract: An OLED device produces white light more effectively matching the response of multicolor filters in an OLED device including an anode and a cathode and an organic EL element disposed between the anode and cathode having at least two different dopants for collectively emitting white light. The device includes a color filter array disposed over the EL element and including at least three separate filters having bandpass spectra for passing red, green, and blue light, respectively, in response to white light to produce preselected color outputs, and the composition of one or more of the dopants being selected to change the spectrum of the white light to be compatible with the spectrum of the color filters by having peak responses in the white light spectrum corresponding to the bandpass spectra of the red and blue color filters whereby the white light more effectively matches the responses of the color filters.
