Publication number: 20240087183Abstract: A pixelated color display where the emission corresponds to a color space comprised of three regions: an outer boundary of the entire color space which is defined by the most saturated colors; an inner region formed by less saturated colors which is defined by an inner region boundary; and between the inner region boundary and the outer boundary, an intermediate region where at least one color is approximated by dithering between a most saturated color and a less saturated color.

Publication number: 20230133040Abstract: An optical upconverter, comprising a photodiode coupled to a stacked organic light emitting diode (OLED), the stacked OLED comprising at least two OLED light-emitting units separated by a charge-generation layer (CGL), wherein photocurrent generated by the photodetector causes light emission from the stacked OLED. The photodiode generates a photocurrent when exposed to an input light of a first frequency band as well as light of a second frequency band which is the same as that emitted by the stacked OLED. This creates an avalanche effect that increases the amount of overall emission. The photodiode can be a layer between the electrodes of the stacked OLEDs. A constant voltage bias that is below the threshold voltage can be applied to the electrodes of the stacked OLED. The photodiode can be an admixture of two materials, preferably organic. The upconverter can be divided into pixel segments as part of a display.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Noel C.
