  • Publication number: 20180033839
    Abstract: A full-color display and techniques for fabrication thereof are provided. The display includes first and second continuous independently addressable organic emissive layers disposed over a single substrate or between two substrates or portions of a flexible substrate. The use of continuous emissive layers of a limited number of colors allows for a relatively high resolution display to be achieved without the use of fine metal masks or similar components.

  • Publication number: 20170125718
    Abstract: OLEDs containing a stacked hybrid architecture including a phosphorescent organic emissive unit and two fluorescent organic emissive units are disclosed. The stacked hybrid architecture includes a plurality of electrodes and a hybrid emissive stacked disposed between at least two of the electrodes. The stack contains at least three emissive units and at least two charge generation layers. At least one of the three emissive units is a phosphorescent organic emissive unit and at least two of the three emissive units are fluorescent organic emissive units. More specifically, the two fluorescent organic emissive units may be blue organic emissive units that emit light from the same or different color regions.

  • Publication number: 20170092699
    Abstract: Arrangements of pixel components that allow for full-color devices, while using emissive devices that use blue color altering layers in conjunction with blue emissive regions, that emit at not more than two colors, and/or that use limited number of color altering layers, are provided. Devices disclosed herein also may be achieved using simplified fabrication techniques compared to conventional side-by-side arrangements, because fewer masking steps may be required.
