The development of alternative organic light-emitting diode (OLED) fabrication technologies for high-definition and low-cost displays is an important research topic as conventional fine metal mask-assisted vacuum evaporation has reached its limit to reduce pixel sizes and manufacturing costs. Here, we report an electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing method to fabricate small-molecule OLED pix...

Significant amount of emitted light from an organic light emitting diode (OLED) is trapped as a result of total internal reflection (TIR) on a glass–air interface. One of the strategies to increase the light extraction efficiency is using a scattering thin film. A model is built using the Monte Carlo ray tracing method to simulate Mie scattering. Almost 100% of light trapped by the TIR can be e...

Juhn Suk Yoo Hojin Lee Jerzy Kanicki Chang-Dong Kim In-Jae Chung Abstract — A novel pixel circuit for electrically stable AMOLEDs with an a-Si:H TFT backplane and top-anode organic light-emitting diode is reported. The proposed pixel circuit is composed of five a-Si:H TFTs, and it does not require any complicated drive ICs. The OLED current compensation for drive TFT threshold voltage variation...

Hybrid light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods and polymers (single and blended) are fabricated and characterized. The ZnO nanorods were grown by the chemical bath deposition method at 50 o C. Three different LEDs, either with blue emitting, orange-red emitting or their blended polymer together with ZnO nanorods were fabricated and studied. The current-voltage characteri...

A polysilicon transistor based active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) pixel with high pixel to pixel luminance uniformity is reported. The new pixel powers the OLEDs with small constant currents to ensure consistent brightness and extended life. Excellent pixel to pixel current drive uniformity is obtained despite the threshold voltage variation inherent in polysilicon transistors....

There has been increasing interest inflexible displays and electronics. Flexibility is desirable because it promises low cost manufacture and offers new and emerging applications. A number of competing flexible display technologies are being developed including Electrophoretic, Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), and flexible LCDs. Plasma displays have also entered the flexible display arena. ...

A pixel design for active matrix organic light emitting diode (AM-OLED) displays employing hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) is proposed. The proposed pixel circuit, which composed of five TFTs and one capacitor, could compensate the shift of threshold voltage of OLED as well as the threshold voltage of a-Si:H. We fabricated the pixel circuits on the glass sub...
