  • Publication number: 20240114741
    Abstract: Devices, arrangements, and techniques are provided to improve the color saturation of displays such as OLED displays while avoiding or substantially reducing any increase in power consumption that typically would be associated with such increase in saturation. A three-subpixel per pixel red/green/blue (RGB) architecture is provided as well as a four sub-pixel approach which uses two red sub-pixels for each pixel (red/red/green/blue, or R1R2GB).

  • Patent number: 11594697
    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: 20230056000
    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.
