  • Patent number: 8587191
    Abstract: A top-emitting or bottom-emitting OLED has a wide color gamut and reduces a variation in color with a viewing angle. The OLED includes a reflective electrode and a transmissive or semi-transmissive electrode disposed opposite each other; at least two organic emission layers (EMLs) interposed between the reflective electrode and the transmissive or semi-transmissive electrode; and an optical path control layer disposed on an outer surface of the transmissive or semi-transmissive electrode. A resonator is formed between the reflective electrode and the optical path control layer so a resonance mode of light extracted from the optical path control layer is a multi-resonance mode having at least two modes in a visible light region. A distance between the organic EMLs satisfies the condition of constructive interference between light beams emitted by the respective organic EMLs. A color display apparatus using the OLED are taught.

  • Patent number: 8552639
    Abstract: A white organic light emitting device (WOLED) includes electroluminescence (EL) red and blue light emitting layers disposed inside a cavity and a non-electroluminescence (NEL) green light emitting unit disposed outside the cavity or on a region inside the cavity where there are no combinations of electrons and holes. The green light emitting unit adjusts a green spectrum by resonating greenish blue light in the cavity, or is disposed on a path through which red and blue light output from the cavity travels and adapted to absorb the blue light and emit green light. A photoluminescence (PL) light emitting layer may be a capping layer covering the cavity. The capping layer functions as an optical path control layer controlling an optical path. A white spectrum is obtained by combining blue light and red light generated by EL and green generated by PL. This WOLED can operate at a low voltage.
