  • Publication number: 20240087183
    Abstract: 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. The dithering can be color spatial, temporal, or physical spatial dithering or combinations thereof. The display is an OLED, preferably a multimodal (white light-emitting) microcavity with a color filter array and can have 3 or more stacks of light-emitting units. The color dithering in the intermediate region allows for generation of colors that cannot be emitted directly by the display.

  • Publication number: 20230134894
    Abstract: An integrated OLED display, preferably a microdisplay, comprising a base display that emits a pixelated image and an overlying stacked OLED amplification structure where the OLED amplification structure has at least two light-emitting OLED units separated by a charge-generation layer and a photodiode layer which generates a photocurrent upon exposure to light from the base display as well as the light emitted by the OLED units; wherein the pixelated emission from the base display causes pixelated light emission from the OLED amplification structure. The base display can comprise a single light emitting OLED unit on top of a silicon-based backplane with components nominally rated at 5V or less. The base display emits IR, NIR or red light to which the photodiode layer is sensitive. Cross-talk between the pixels may be controlled by the use of opaque optical dividers.

  • Publication number: 20230133040
    Abstract: 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.
