Abstract: | Abstract— Organic light‐emitting‐device (OLED) devices are very promising candidates for flexible‐display applications because of their organic thin‐film configuration and excellent optical and video performance. Recent progress of flexible‐OLED technologies for high‐performance full‐color active‐matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays will be presented and future challenges will be discussed. Specific focus is placed on technology components, including high‐efficiency phosphorescent OLED technology, substrates and backplanes for flexible displays, transparent compound cathode technology, conformal packaging, and the flexibility testing of these devices. Finally, the latest prototype in collaboration with LG. Phillips LCD, a flexible 4‐in. QVGA full‐color AMOLED built on amorphous‐silicon backplane, will be described. |
