In-line deposition of high-efficiency p-i-n organic light-emitting devices

OLED devices with electrically doped transport layers show low operating voltage, high efficiency and long lifetime. This paper demonstrates that the concept of p- and n-type electrical doping can be applied under manufacturing conditions. It shows that handling of dopants, adjustment of doping concentrations, and preparation of p-i-n type OLED stacks is possible with the worldwide first vertical in-line set-up. An in-line-manufactured highly efficient RGB-OLED-system is presented

Highly efficient p-i-n-type organic light emitting diodes on ZnO:Al substrates

Aluminum doped zinc oxide (ZAO) is presented in this letter as an alternative transparent electrode: optimized ZAO films offer excellent parameters for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The ZAO films are applied to various p-i-n-type OLEDs. By using green phosphorescent molecules in a double emitter structure, very high efficiencies were obtained, namely, 54.6 cd/A and 61.5 lm/W for 100 cd/m(2) at 2.78 V. Additionally, white OLEDs on ZAO demonstrated pure white emission independent of the luminance and high efficiencies of 12.6 cd/A and 14.5 lm/W for 100 cd/m(2) at 2.6 V, which is comparable to indium-tin-oxide based white OLEDs

Second generation OLED devices and systems: Inline evaporation, highly efficient OLED devices and novel driver/controller ASICs

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) have to be improved to achieve new market segments in displays and lighting applications. We present important steps towards achieving this goal in a combination of highly efficient devices, manufacturing and new driving aspects. It is generally expected that the manufacturing methods have to be made more efficient to achieve large market penetration. We firstly present results on a highly efficient RGB-OLED-system with doped transport layer, manufactured in the worldwide first vertical In-Line set-up. Additionally a second-generation passive matrix OLED controller/driver IC was developed. Though the design was application-specifically directed for the onto integration into an OLED minidisplay panel module (e.g., by pad layout design being closely related to display connection schemes), versatile service in various applications was focused on. Therefore, in general they may also act as application-specific standard products (ASSP), i f their built-in functions provide compatibility to a wide range of passive-matrix OLED panels. Additionally, the second generation supports various PMOLED display resolutions, area or full-color (RGB) operating modes and circuit techniques for OLED devices lifetime improvement

Integration of high-efficiency PIN organic light-emitting devices in lighting and optoelectronic applications

Displays based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) have rapidly developed and are commercially available since some time. However, in order to achieve large market penetration in new segments like lighting and optoelectronic, it is generally expected that the current status of the field has to advance in terms of manufacturing cost and integration possibilities. OLED devices with electrically doped transport layers show low operating voltage, high efficiency and long lifetime. In this paper we demonstrate that the concept of p- and n-type electrical doping can be applied under manufacturing conditions on the worldwide first vertical in-line fabrication setup for large area lighting applications. An in-linemanufactured highly efficient white-OLED-system will be presented. The driving of large area lighting tiles defines the resulting OLED lifetime and efficiency. In this paper we will present first results on the driving of large area lighting panels. Beside the lighting application the integration of highly efficient OLEDs for optoelectronic applications is an opportunity for innovative new applications. Microdisplays, integrated optocoupler and light barriers are few examples for the potential of OLEDs in optoelectronic applications. We will present results regarding the integration of highly efficient top-emitting PIN OLEDsTM for optoelectronic applications
