Publication number: 20220336779Abstract: An OLED waveguide assembly including an organic light emitting diode assembly, a waveguide layer and a substrate. The organic light emitting diode assembly is separated from the waveguide layer by a spacer layer, and the organic light emitting diode assembly has a maximum emission at a wavelength of 470 nanometers. The waveguide layer is nanostructured. The substrate has pixel-dependent nanostructures with a lattice constant of approximately 400±50 nanometers, suitable for the emissions of the waveguide layer. The waveguide layer or a layer situated in front of the waveguide has the function of a wavelength converter having a maximum absorption at 470 nanometers and having a maximum emission at 620 nanometers. The lattice structure does not match the emission of the installed OLED. Ideally, all of the primary light is converted or any residual is filtered out. Further an OLED-waveguide assembly production method.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Martina Gerken, Janek Buhl, Matthias Bremer, Sabrina Hein
