  • Patent number: 7221088
    Abstract: The present invention describes the use of red, green and, if necessary, blue dopants dispersed in a universal host material as the active emitting layer in OLEDs. The universal host is transparent in the visible region, and may be emissive in the blue region when used as the blue emitting species or possesses carrier transport properties. By dispersing the dopants in the universal host, efficient energy transfer from host to guest and/or direct carrier recombination on the dopant takes place resulting in bright red, green or blue emission, depending on the dopant. The resulting spectra are characteristic of the guest molecules.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030186078
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for fabricating an electroluminescent EL display, wherein the individual color pixels are formed by doping a common blue-emitting host with two or more photo-bleachable (or photo-oxidizable) dopants, such as red and green emitting organic materials. The host may also be doped with a blue emitting material that is not photo-bleachable.
