Improvement of PDP discharge efficiency based on macro‐cell studies

Abstract— In this paper we explain how macro‐cells (real PDP cells scaled‐up a hundred times) with external and removable electrodes have been validated by comparison with real panels and modeling and used to optimize the luminous efficacy of real PDPs. We illustrate the application of the macroscopic PDP tool to optimize the electrode configuration of short‐gap discharges towards higher luminous efficacy, as well as its use in conjunction with 2D and 3D modeling to lower the operating voltages of high‐efficacy long‐gap discharges triggered by auxiliary electrodes.     

Electrical simulations of doped multilayer organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) under temperature stress for high current densities

Abstract— This work aims at explaining and predicting the influence of the thickness of organic materials, dye doping, and space‐charge effects on charge‐carrier transport at different operating temperatures for high current densities (50 ≤ J ≤ 7000 mA/cm²). For the purpose of determining these influences, current‐voltage characteristics for typical electrically doped multilayer organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been simulated. The results of the simulations concur with experimental data.
