  • Patent number: 9140428
    Abstract: Novel devices comprising a layer including compounds that are capable of triplet triplet annihilation up conversation (TTA-UC) and techniques for operating the same are provided. In particular, the up-conversation layer absorbs light emitted by the OLED device and emits up-converted light with shorter wavelength in response. These devices and techniques may be used to provide improved lifetime for blue emitting devices.

  • Publication number: 20150213747
    Abstract: Techniques, devices, and systems are provided that allow for driving a device such as an OLED in various pulsed modes in which a momentary luminance greater than an apparent luminance at which the OLED is to be driven is used. The use of one or more pulsed modes allows for the lifetime of the OLED to be extended and reduces image sticking. Pulsed modes are also provided that allow for color tuning of the device by activating different portions of one or more emissive areas of the device.

    Abstract: Arrangements of pixel components that allow driving three or less of four or more sub-pixels to emit an original color signal are disclosed. A first projection of the original color signal may be projected onto the two sub-pixel's color space. The first projection may then be projected onto a second projection corresponding to the color space of a third pixel. The third pixel may be driven based on the second projection only two of the remaining at least three sub-pixels may be driven based on the third pixel being driven.

  • Patent number: 8866377
    Abstract: An organic light emitting device is provided having an emissive layer with an internal interface. The concentration of a second phosphorescent material in a second organic layer is different from the concentration of a first phosphorescent material in a first organic layer, creating the interface. The materials in the first and second organic layers may be the same or different. In addition to this interface within the emissive layer, the device has one or more features designed to mitigate failure mechanisms which may be associated with electrons or excitons passing from the cathode through the emissive layer to damage organic layers on the anode side of the emissive layer. In addition, devices are provided having an interface within the emissive layer as described above, and a lower energy emissive material on at least one side of the interface.

  • Publication number: 20140231768
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) architecture in which efficient operation is achieved without requiring a blocking layer by locating the recombination zone close to the hole transport side of the emissive layer. Aryl-based hosts and Ir-based dopants with suitable concentrations result in an efficient phosphorescent OLED structure. Previously, blocking layer utilization in phosphorescent OLED architectures was considered essential to avoid exciton and hole leakage from the emissive layer, and thus keep the recombination zone inside the emissive layer to provide high device efficiency and a pure emission spectrum.

  • Publication number: 20140209888
    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.

  • Publication number: 20140084269
    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.
