A 13.5‐in. Quad‐FHD flexible CAAC‐OS AMOLED display with long‐life OLED device structure

In this study, the device structure of a white tandem organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) was changed to control the emission area and thereby achieve less luminance decay. A long‐life 13.5‐inch 4 K flexible c‐axis‐aligned crystal oxide semiconductor (CAAC‐OS) active‐matrix OLED with less color shift and high resolution was fabricated using this long‐life white OLED, transfer technology, and a CAAC‐OS field‐effect transistor.     

High‐performance white OLEDs with high color‐rendering index for next‐generation solid‐state lighting

Abstract— Several white‐OLED structures with a high color‐rendering index (CRI) were investigated for lighting applications. A two‐unit fluorescent/phosphorescent hybrid white OLED achieved an excellent CRI of 95, high luminous efficacy of 37 lm/W, and long lifetime of over 40,000 hours at 1000 cd/m². White‐OLED lighting panels of 8 × 8 cm for high‐luminance operation were fabricated, and a stable emission at 3000 cd/m² was confirmed. Quite a small variation in chromaticity in a different directions was achieved by using an optimized optical device structure. With a light‐outcoupling substrate, a higher efficacy of 56 lm/W, high CRI of 91, and longer half‐decay lifetime of over 150,000 hours at 1000 cd/m² was achieved. All‐phosphorescent white OLEDs placed on the light‐outcoupling substrate show a high CRI of 85 and higher efficacy of 65 lm/W with a fairly good half‐decay lifetime of over 30,000 hours. With a further voltage reduction and a high‐index spherical extractor, 128 lm/W at 1000 cd/m² has been achieved.     

Highly efficient single‐unit white OLED device with emission from both singlet and triplet excitons

We succeeded in developing a single‐unit hybrid organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) device with efficient light emission from both a phosphorescent layer and a fluorescent layer. The single‐unit hybrid OLED achieved a power efficiency higher than that of a two‐unit hybrid tandem OLED with phosphorescent and fluorescent layers.     

A 3.0‐in. 308‐ppi WVGA AMOLED with a top‐emission white OLED and color filter

Abstract— A 3.0‐in. 308‐ppi WVGA top‐emission AMOLED display with a white OLED and color filters, driven by LTPS TFTs demonstrating a color gamut of >90% and a Δ(u′,v′) of <0.02 is reported. A white‐emission source with a unique device structure was developed using all fluorescent materials and yielded efficiencies of 8.45% and 16 cd/A at 4000 nits with CIE color coordinates of (0.30, 0.32).     

Development of a liquid crystal with fine‐pitch light‐source display (LFD) using an organic light‐emitting diode (OLED)

Abstract— A novel display system, refered to as an LFD (liquid crystal with fine‐pitch light‐source display) is proposed. In an LFD, an auxiliary light source patterned with a fine pitch is attached to a reflective liquid‐crystal display (LCD), and a light shield is formed on the observer's side of the light source. A vertical‐alignment LCD (VA‐LCD) is attached as the reflective LCD, and an organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) is attached as the fine‐pitch light source. An LFD can produce bright, high‐contrast images under any ambient light. A test sample was built and its display characteristics confirmed.
