  • Patent number: 9818804
    Abstract: A hybrid pixel arrangement for a full-color display is provided, which includes an inorganic LED in at least one sub-pixel, and an organic emissive stack in at least one other sub-pixel. In an embodiment, a first sub-pixel is configured to emit a first color, and includes an inorganic LED, a second sub-pixel is configured to emit a second color, and includes a first portion of a first organic emissive stack configured to emit an initial color different from the first color. A third sub-pixel is configured to emit a third color different from the initial color, and includes a second portion of the first organic emissive stack, and a first color altering layer disposed in a stack with the second portion of the first organic emissive stack.

  • Publication number: 20170207281
    Abstract: Full-color pixel arrangements for use in devices such as OLED displays are provided, in which multiple sub-pixels are configured to emit different colors of light, with each sub-pixel having a different optical path length than some or all of the other sub-pixels within the pixel.

  • Publication number: 20170186970
    Abstract: Host materials with pentafluorophenyl substitution are described. These compounds are designed for, and used for hosting aza substituted dopants that may be susceptible to intramolecular deprotonation. In addition, the fluorinated substitution aids with electron transport within the emissive layer.

  • Publication number: 20170162802
    Abstract: An organic light emitting device (OLED) is provided. The OLED has an anode, a cathode, and an emission layer, disposed between the anode and the cathode, including a first emitting compound; wherein the first emitting compound is capable of functioning as a blue phosphorescent emitter in the OLED at room temperature; wherein the first emitting compound has PLQY of less than 90% at room temperature; wherein the OLED has an external quantum efficiency of between 8% and 20% at 1 mA/cm2.

  • Publication number: 20170133631
    Abstract: A method for improving the operation of an OLED includes maximizing on-radiative transfer of excited state energy from the OLED's organic emissive material to surface plasmon polaritons in an enhancement layer by providing the enhancement layer no more than a threshold distance away from the organic emissive layer; and emitting light into free space from the enhancement layer by scattering the energy from the surface plasmon polaritons through an outcoupling layer that is provided proximate to the enhancement layer but opposite from the organic emissive layer.

  • Publication number: 20150380666
    Abstract: Compounds having the structure of Formula M(LA)x(LB)y and Formula III, are disclosed. In Formula M(LA)x(LB)y, Ligand LA is and ligand LB is a mono anionic bidentate ligand. In these compounds, metal M has an atomic number greater than 40; x is 1, 2, or 3; y is 0, 1, or 2; x+y is the oxidation state of metal M; L11 represents a linking group selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl; L12 represents a linking group selected from NR15 and PR15; each R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R11, R12, R13, R14, and R15 is independently selected from a group of substituents, wherein any adjacent substituents are optionally joined to form a fused or unfused ring; and LA and LB are optionally joined to form a ligand that is at least tetradentate. Formulations and devices, such as OLEDs, that include the compound of Formula M(LA)x(LB)y are also described.
