  • Patent number: 8878164
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode, known under the abbreviation OLED, and to a method for the production of such an organic light-emitting diode. According to the invention, an OLED or organic light-emitting diode having an emitter layer (5) is produced, said emitter layer emitting white light in particular. The emitter layer (5) is arranged within a lossy, optical resonator. The optical path length between the two reflecting layers of the resonator determines the color of the light emitting from the optical resonator and, consequently, from the light-emitting diode. In order to be able to create a variety of colors, there must be different optical path lengths between the two reflecting surfaces. The correspondingly different distances can be produced in only one work step, in contrast to the prior art, by a photolithographic method.

    Abstract: An organic EL element (11) includes a light emitting layer (15) which has a two-layer structure, and a first light-emitting layer (15a) is made from a host material which includes LUMO shallower than (i) LUMO (19) of a phosphorescent light emitting material and (ii) LUMO of a host material, from which a second light-emitting layer (15b) is made. Further, the second light-emitting layer (15b) is made from a host material which includes HOMO deeper than (i) HOMO (18) of the phosphorescent light emitting material and (ii) HOMO of the host material, from which the first light-emitting layer (15a) is made. This makes it possible (i) to block holes from moving to the second light-emitting layer (15b) and (ii) to block electrons from moving to the first light-emitting layer (15a). As a result, a probability that the holes and the respective electrons recombine with each other is increased. It is therefore possible to reduce a driving voltage of an organic EL element (11).

  • Publication number: 20140217365
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to IR photodetectors with gain resulting from the positioning of a charge multiplication layer (CML) between the cathode and the IR sensitizing layer of the photodetector, where accumulating charge at the CML reduces the energy difference between the cathode and the CML to promote injection of electrons that result in gain for an electron only device. Other embodiments of the invention are directed to inclusion of the IR photodetectors with gain into an IR-to-visible up-conversion device that can be used in night vision and other applications.
