| 20090121624 | STABLE BLUE PHOSPHORESCENT ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES - Novel combination of materials and device architectures for organic light emitting devices are provided. In some aspects, specific charge carriers and solid state considerations are features that may result in a device having an unexpectedly long lifetime. In some aspects, emitter purity is a feature that may result in devices having unexpectedly long lifetime. In some aspects, structural and optical considerations are features that may result in a device having an unexpectedly long lifetime. In some aspects, an emissive layer including an organic phosphorescent emissive dopant and an organic carbazole host material results in devices having an unexpectedly long lifetime. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100090241 | EMISSIVE LAYER PATTERNING FOR OLED - An organic light emitting device is provided. The device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic emissive stack disposed between the anode and the cathode. The device may be a “pixel” in a display, capable of emitting a wide variety of colors through the use of independently addressable “sub-pixels,” each subpixel emitting a different spectrum of light. In the most general sense, the device includes a first subpixel and a second subpixel, and at least one of the anode and the cathode has independently addressable first and second regions corresponding to the first and second subpixels. The device includes an emissive stack disposed between the anode and the cathode. The emissive stack includes a first organic emissive layer and a second organic emissive layer. The first organic emissive layer is disposed between the anode and the cathode, and extends throughout the first and second regions. The second organic emissive layer is disposed between the anode and the cathode, and extends throughout the second region but not the first region. The second organic emissive layer is disposed closer to the cathode than the first organic emissive layer. The first organic emissive layer is emissive in the first region, and the second organic emissive layer is emissive in the second region. | 04-15-2010 |

The device has a first organic light emitting device, a second organic light emitting device, a third organic light emitting device, and a fourth organic light emitting device. The device may be a pixel of a display having four sub-pixels. The first device may emit red light, the second device may emit green light, the third device may emit light blue light and the fourth device may emit deep blue light. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100244069 | NOVEL OLED DISPLAY ARCHITECTURE - A device is provided. The device includes first, second and third subpixels. The first sub-pixel includes an emissive layer having a first emitting material but not a second emitting material. The second sub-pixel includes an emissive layer having the second emitting material but not the first emitting material. The third sub-pixel includes an emissive layer having both the first and second emitting materials. A method of fabricating the device is provided. For a three subpixel device, a first electrode layer is deposited, having a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel. Then, in a first patterned deposition process, a first emitting material is deposited on the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel, but not the second sub-pixel. Then, in a second patterned deposition process, a second emitting material is deposited on the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel, but not the first sub-pixel. Then, a second electrode layer is deposited. The first, second and third subpixels may be defined, for example, by patterning in either or both of the first and second electrode layers. Preferably, the device and method include a fourth subpixel. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20110012095 | NON-BLOCKED PHOSPHORESCENT OLEDS - An organic light emitting diode (OLED) architecture in which efficient operation is achieved without requiring a blocking layer by locating the recombination zone close to the hole transport side of the emissive layer. Aryl-based hosts and Ir-based dopants with suitable concentrations result in an efficient phosphorescent OLED structure. Previously, blocking layer utilization in phosphorescent OLED architectures was considered essential to avoid exciton and hole leakage from the emissive layer, and thus keep the recombination zone inside the emissive layer to provide high device efficiency and a pure emission spectrum. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110057171 | Long lifetime Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) Structures - An organic light emitting device is provided having an emissive layer with an internal interface. The concentration of a second phosphorescent material in a second organic layer is different from the concentration of a first phosphorescent material in a first organic layer, creating the interface. The materials in the first and second organic layers may be the same or different. In addition to this interface within the emissive layer, the device has one or more features designed to mitigate failure mechanisms which may be associated with electrons or excitons passing from the cathode through the emissive layer to damage organic layers on the anode side of the emissive layer. In addition, devices are provided having an interface within the emissive layer as described above, and a lower energy emissive material on at least one side of the interface. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110062462 | Novel Device Structure - Organic light emitting devices are provided having multiple subpixels. An organic spacer layer is provided in at least one subpixel to protect the emissive layer of the at least one subpixel from overspray due to the deposition of a different emissive layer in a nearby subpixel. More generally, a first device is provided, where the first device comprises a multicolor organic light emitting device. The first device may be the multicolor organic device itself. Or, the first device may be a larger device, such as a consumer device, that includes one or many of the multicolor organic devices. The multicolor organic light emitting, device further comprises multiple subpixels. In the most general case, there are at least a first subpixel and a second subpixel. | 03-17-2011 |
