Improving OLED technology for displays

Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are brightly emissive, efficient, have fast switching speeds, and are paper-thin in format, propelling their use as an emerging flat panel display technology. However, two primary challenges prevent OLEDs from dominating the large-area display market: the extension of OLED display lifetime and development of simple, scalable fabrication techniques compatible with small molecule organic thin films. The principle contributions we report are (1) introduction and analysis of a novel optical feedback technique for extending the lifetime of OLED displays (2) the experimental demonstration and theoretical analysis of contact stamping for patterning multi-color OLED displays.
