  • Publication number: 20260150485
    Abstract: Light emitting devices are provided that include an outcoupling layer in which asymmetric nanoparticles are disposed, where the nanoparticles are aligned such that the difference between each nanoparticle's major axis and the average direction of the major axes of all nanoparticles is minimized. The use of aligned, physically asymmetric nanoparticles leads to improved outcoupling and performance of the device.

  • Patent number: 12588382
    Abstract: The present invention relates to OLED devices and stacks for OLED devices that include a symmetric emissive-layer architecture. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to an emissive stack having three layers, wherein the top and bottom layers emit light in the same or similar color region while the middle layer emits light in a different color region than the other two layers. In such an embodiment, the three layers are in contact with each other with no other layers in between. The symmetric emissive-layer architecture of the present invention can be used to improve the color stability of OLED devices.

  • Publication number: 20250331384
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to reduced power consumption OLED displays at reduced cost for reduced information content applications, such as wearable displays. Image quality for wearable displays can be different than for high information content smart phone displays and TVs, where the wearable display has an architecture that in includes, for example, an all phosphorescent device and/or material system that may be fabricated at reduced cost. The reduced power consumption can facilitate wireless and solar charging.
