INTRODUCTION
As thin display technology improves, TV sets will be available in wider
shapes and sizes. Fold-up TVs and wearable TVs, similar to wearable PCs will
be launched soon.
A plethora of display technologies catering to different requirements of
different applications are available. Electroluminescent(EL) displays, vacuum
fluorescent displays (VFDs), and light emitting diodes (LEDs) have a wide
operating temperature range and luminescent characteristics
OLEDs are lightweight, durable, power efficient and ideal for portable
applications. OLEDs have fewer process steps and also use both fewer and
lower- cost materials than LCD displays. Universal Display believes that OLEDs
can replace the current technology in many applications due to the following
performance advantages over LCD.
Greater brightness
Faster response time for full motion video
Fuller viewing angles
Lighter weight
Greater environmental durability
More power efficiency
Broader operating temperature ranges
Greater cost-effectiveness

Displays are an essential element of industrial and Consumer products.
Once considered as simple indicator lights, these have become vital in the
performance of computing, medical imaging, process control and entertainment
systems. From video systems to kitchen appliances and portable computers, or
even your digital watch, displays are inevitable.
Most devices provide users with useful information on a display. In a way,
the display is an indicator of the quality of that product. If the information
depicted is consistently wrong-for instance, a watch always running fastthe
quality of the product is perceived as poor. The same is true with information
display. The poor quality of the image displayed means that the product is also of
poor quality.
A plethora of display technologies catering to different requirements of
different applications are available. Electroluminescent (EL) displays, vacuum
fluorescent displays (VFDs), and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have a wide
operating temperature range and luminance characteristics, but limited colour
reproduction. EL displays are suited to instrumentation and military applications,
while VFDs are used in automotive dashboards and traffic lights. Organic LEDs
(OLEDs) are likely to replace liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in the near future.
Digital display technology (DDT) is a breakthrough in visual technology.
It enables engineers to create thin wide-screen TVs, flat TVs, wall TVs, and even
TV screens that you can fold up like newspapers. Professor Ifor Samuel at the
University of St Andrews in Scotland, who is conducting research on this
technology, predicts, In a few years, it will be possible to make TV screens
which can he rolled up when not in use, information displays on roller blinds, and
light-emitting clothing for fashion or safety applications. So days are not far off
when you will be able to customise the shape of your TV as if it were an article
of clothing.

EVOLUTION
Organic semiconductors have been the subjects of intense scientific
investigation for the past 50 years. These materials primarily consist of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen. Organic materials weak intermolecular bonds in the solid
state give them properties of both semiconductors and insulators. Organic
semiconductors attracted industrial interest when it was recognized that many of
them are photoconductive under visible light. This discovery led to their use in
electro photography and as light valves in LCDs.
Organic materials have often proved to be unstable. When exposed to air,
water, or ultraviolet light, their electronic properties can degrade rapidly. Low
carrier mobility characteristic of organic materials obviates their use in high-
frequency (greater than 10 MHZ) applications. These shortcomings are
compounded by the difficulty of both purifying and doping the materials.
But in1987 Ching Tang and Steven Van Slyke of Eastman Kodak Co.,
Rochester, N.Y., successfully addressed many of these problems when they
produced the first efficient light emission from a two-layer organic structure
resembling a pn junction. The Kodak group used a class of synthetic dyes to
develop a device called a small-molecule OLED that produced light with about 1
percent efficiency. The materials used consist of often no more than 30 or 40atoms covalently bonded into stable individual molecular units called monomers.
Unlike small molecule compounds, polymers are long chain molecules
whose monomer segments are attached in a continuous covalently bonded high-
molecular weight chain. Polymers tend to be environmentally rugged and flexible
although, like small molecules, their electronic properties can rapidly degrade
when exposed to oxygen or water.

CONSTRUCTION
A fundamental difference between small molecule and polymeric device is
the manner in which they are constructed.
Small molecule OLEDs are grown on a glass or plastic substrate to form a
multi-layer structure about 100 nm thick. The substrate is first coated with a
conducting transparent electrode such as indium tin oxide (ITO) which serves as
the anode. This is followed by a thin hole-transporting organic layer HTL.
Typically made from chemicals called diamines. An organic light-emitting layer
of comparable thickness is then deposited on the ETL surface. A low work
function is necessary to ensure efficient low-resistance injection of electrons
from the cathode on to the ETL.

Changing composition of the layers tunes the OLED emission colors
across the visible spectrum. Green emission can be achieved by doping an
electron-conducting organic matrix called Alq3, with either a small amount of an
iridium phosphor or fluorescent dyes. The pigment perylene when doped in to an
ETL known as CBP emits blue light. Lanthanide complexes and porphyrin
pigments have been used to efficiently emit red light when doped in to Alq3 or
CBP. As in small-molecule devices, changing the chemistry of the polymer can
tune the color of an OLED.

WORKING
Both polymeric & small molecule OLEDs operate by accepting charge
carriers of opposite polarities, electrons and holes, from the cathode and anode
contacts respectively. An externally applied voltage drives these carriers into the
recombination region where they form a neutral bound state, or exciton. There
are two types of excitons formed, called singlets and triplets. On average one
singlet and three triplets are formed for each four electron hole pairs injected into
the exciton formation region of the OLED.
Recombination of the singlet occurs within a few nanoseconds of
formation. This leads to a photon emission and is called fluorescence.
Recombination of the triplet exciton is slow (taking about 1 ms to 1 second) and
when it does occur usually results in heat rather than light. But if a heavy
metal atom such as iridium or platinum is placed in an organic molecule, the
characteristics of singlet and triplet excitons mix speeding the emission of light to
within l00ns-l00s. The kind of emission is called phosphorescence.
Currently, efficiencies of the best doped polymer and molecular OLEDs
exceed that of incandescent light bulbs. Efficencies of 20 lumens per watt have
been reported for yellow greenemitting polymer devices, and 40lm/W attained
for phosphorescent moleculer OLEDs, compared to less than 20 lm/W for a
typical incandescent light bulb. Soon efficiencies of 80lm W a value comparable
to that of fluorescent room lighting will be achieved using phosphorescent
OLEDs.
Polymer OLED structures can be simpler than small-molecule structures.
The first polymer layer (in contact with ITO) can serve solely as a hole-

injecting/conducting layer, in some cases a single layer is used for electron and
hole injection, conduction and light emission. Polymer OLEDs also often operate
at lower power than small-molecule devices. Due to their high conductivity,
polymer- based devices have operating voltages in the 2-5V range, which is l-2V
lower than small molecule OLEDs.
The challenge to making full-color polymer-based displays is very
different from that for making such displays using small-molecule OLEDs.
Solution chemistry makes it difficult to deposit and pattern a polymer pixel of
one color, and then repeat the process using a second color emitter because thesolvents employed may dissolve or attack the devices already on the substrate,
Several schemes have been suggested to dodge this problem. One particularly
promising method involves depositing a single blue-emitting polymer, and then
selectively diffusing green and red dyes into adjecent regions. However, it has
proved difficult to keep the diffusing dyes from bleeding into regions nearby.
Seiko Epson Corp. of Nagano, Japan, and Cambridge Display Technology Ltd.,
Cambridge. England are pursuing a second approach in which the various
polymer constituents of a full color display are locally deposited using ink
jet printing. Here, control of the thickness and shape of the droplet. which
eventually sets into a high resolution pixel, remains an as yetunsolved
problem. hence polymeric OLEDs not Used commonly

FULL COLOUR DISPLAY
One the of the principal reason that OLED technology has attracted such
intense interest is its potential for use use in-full colour displays that might
eventually replace active matrix LCDs. A display consists of a matrix of contacts
made to the bottom and top surfaces of each organic light emitting element or
pixel. To generate a full-colour image, it is necessary to vary the relative
intensities of three closely spaced, independently addressed pixels, each emitting
one of the three primary colours of red, green or blue.
Optical filtering of white OLEDs can produce acceptable red, green and
blue emission as in the diagram. But this method sacrifices efficiency due to the
large amount of light absorbed in the filters

Less efficiency is lost by using a single blue or ultra violet OLED to pump
organic fluorescent wave length downconverters, also known as colour
changing media (CCM) as in diagram. Each CCM filter consists of a material
that efficiently absorbs blue light and re-emit the energy as either green or red
light, depending on the compound used.
Organic thin films may lead to the practical realization of low-cost very
high-resolution, full-colour displays.

TECHNOLOGY
Universal Display Corporations OLED (Organic Light Emitting Device)
technology is focused on a number of key areas, including:
a) High Efficiency Materials
b) Transparent OLED (TOLED)
c) Flexible OLED(FOLED)
d) Passive and Active Matrices
e) Vertically Stacked, High Resolution OLED (SOLED)
f) Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD)
g) Organic Lasers
h) Patterning by Stamping
HIGH EFFICIENCY MATERIALS
UDC and its research partners have developed families of highly efficient
OLED materials. These materials emit light through the process of
electrophosphorescence.
In traditional OLEDs, the light emission is based on fluorescence, a
transition from a singletexcited state of a material. According to theoretical
and experimental estimation, the upper limit of efflciency of an OLED doped
with fluorescent material, is approximately 25%.
With our electrophosphorescent materials used as a dopant, which exploits
both singlet and triplet excited states, this upper limit is virtually eliminated.
Equipped with the potential of 100% efficiency. UDC is working towards the
commercialization of electrophosphorescent devices by optimizing the device
efficiency, color purity and device storage and operation durabilities.
Dept. of ECE MESCE Kuttippuram10
-
7/29/2019 Thin Display Full Report
11/27
Thin Displays Seminar Report 03
Such a process is facilitated by the development and modification of
charge transport materials, charge blocking materials and luminescent materials
and their incorporation into devices. In addition to the fabrication of high quality
devices. UDC is also committed to a high standard of device testing. Our
scientists and engineers have custom-developed sophisticated test hardware and
software for this purpose.
Cost effective processing: OLEDs are projected to have full-production level
cost advantage over most flat panel displays. With the advent of FOLEDtechnology, the prospect of roll-to-roll processing is created.
TRANSPARENT OLED(TOLED)
The Transparent OLED (TOLED) uses a proprietaly transparent contact to
create displays that can be made to be top-only emitting, bottom-only emitting, or
both top and bottom emitting (transparent). TOLEDs can greatly improve
contrast, making it much easier to view displays in bright sunlight.
Because TOLEDs are 70 % transparent when turned off, they may be
integrated into car windshields, architectural windows, and eyewear.
Their transparency enables TOLEDs to be used with metal foils, siliconwafers and other opaque substrates for top-emitting devices.
Directed Top Emission: TOLEDs also provided an excellent way to achieve
better fill factor and characteristics in high resolution, high information-
content displays using active matrix silicon backplanes.
Dept. of ECE MESCE Kuttippuram11

Thin Displays Seminar Report 03
Transparency: TOLED displays can be nearly as clear as
the glass or substrate theyre built on. This feature paves the way for
TOLED to be built into applications that rely on maintaining vision area.
Today, smart windows are penetrating the multi-billion dollar flat glass
architectural and automotive marketplaces. Before long, TOLEDs may be
fabricated on windows for home entertainment and teleconferencing
purposes, on windshields and cockpits for navigation and warming systems
and into helmetmounted or head-up systems for virtual reality
applications.
Enhanced highambient contrast: TOLED technology
offers enhanced Contrast ratio by using lowreflectance absorber (a black
backing) behind either top or bottom TOLED surface, contrast ratio can be
significantly improved over that in most reflective LCDs and OLEDs. This
feature is particularly important in daylight readable applications, such as
on cell phones and in military fighter aircraft cockpits.
Multi-stacked devices: TOLEDs are a fundamental
building block for many multi-structure (i.e. SOLEDs) and hybrid devices.
Bi-directional TOLEDs can provide two independent displays emitting
form opposite faces of the display. With portable products shrinking and
desired information content expanding, TOLEDs make it possible to get
twice the display area for the same display size.
FLEXIBLE OLED (FOLED)
FOLEDs are organic light emitting devices built on flexible substrates.
Flat panel displays have traditionally been fabricated on glass substrates because
Dept. of ECE MESCE Kuttippuram12
-

of structural and processing constraints. Flexible materials have significant
performance advantages over traditional glass substrates.
FOLEDs Offer Revolutionary Features for Displays:
Flexibility: For the first time, FOLEDs may be made on a
wide variety of substrates that range form optically-clear plastic films to
reflective metal foils. These materials provide the ability to conform, bend
or roll a display into any shape. This means that a FOLED display may be
laminated onto a helmet face shield, a military uniforms shirtsleeve, an
aircraft cockpit instrument panel or an automotive windshield.
Ultralightweight, thin form: The use of thin plastic
substrates will also significantly reduce the weight of the f1at panel displays
in cell phones, portable computers and especially, large televisionson
thewall.
For eg.. the weight of a display in a laptop may be significantly reduced by using
FOLED technology.
Durability: FOLEDs will also generally be less breakable, more impact resistant
and more durable compare to their glass-based counterpart.
PASSIVE AND ACTIVE MATRICES
How passive Matrix works?
Passive Matrix displays consist of an array of picture elements, or pixels,
deposited on a patterned substrate in a matrix of rows and columns. In an OLED
display, each pixel is an organic light emitting diode, formed at the intersection
of each column and row line. The first OLED displays like the first LCD (Liquid
Crystal Displays), are addressed as a passive matrix. This means that to
Dept. of ECE MESCE Kuttippuram13
-

14/27
Thin Displays Seminar Report 03
illuminate any particular pixel, electrical signals are applied to the row line and
column line (the intersection of which defines the pixel). The more current
pumped through each pixel diode, the brighter the pixel looks to our eyes.
How Active Matrix works?
In an active matrix display, the array is still divided into a series of row
and column lines, with each pixel formed at intersection of a row and column
line. However, each pixel now consists of an organic light emitting diode
(OLED) in series with a thin film transistor (TFT). The TFT is a switch that cancontrol the amount of current flowing through the OLED.
In an active matrix OLED display (AMOLED). information is sent to the
transistor in each pixel, telling it how bright the pixel should shine. The TFT then
stores this information and continuously controls the current flowing through the
OLED. In this way the OLED is operating all the time, avoiding the need for the
very high current necessary iii a passive matrix display.
Universal Display Corporations proprietary technologies should enable
extremely efficient active matrix OLEDs. Our new high efficiency material
systems are ideally suited for use in active matrix OLED displays, and their high
efficiencies should result in greatly reduced power consumption. The TOLED
architecture enables the organic diode, which is placed in each pixel to emit its
light upwards away from the substrate. This means that the diode can be placed
over the TFT back plane, resulting in a brighter display.
UDC is collaborating with other organizations to develop TFT technology
compatible with plastic substrates, in order to commercialize highly efficient
bright active matrix flexible OLEDs.

VERTICALLY STALKED, HIGH RESOLUTION OLED (SOLED)
The stacked OLED (SOLED) Universal Display Corporations award-
winning, novel pixel architecture that is based on stacking the red, green, and
blue subpixels on top of one another instead of next to one another as is
commonly done in CRTs and LCDs. This improve display resolution up to three-
fold and enhances full-color quality. SOLEDs my provide the high resolution
needed for wireless worldwideweb applications.
What is a SOLED?
SOLED display consists of an array vertically-stacked TOLED sub-
pixels. To separately tune color and brightness, each of the red, green and blue
(R- GB) subpixel elements is individually controlled. By adjusting the ratio of
current in the three elements, color is tuned. By varying the total current through
the stack,brightness is varied. By modulating the pulse width, gray scale is
achieved. With this SOLED architecture, each pixel can, in principle, provide full
color. Universal Display Corporations SOLED technology may be the first
demonstration of an vertically integrated structure, where intensity, colour and
gray scale can be independently tuned to achieve high-resolution full-colour.
Scalable to large pixel size: In large screen displays, individual pixels are
frequently large enough to be seen by the eye at short range. With the S x S
format, the eye may perceive the individual red, green and blue instead of the
intended colour mixture. With a SOLED, each pixel emits the desire colour and,
thus, is perceived correctly no matter what size it is and from where it is viewed.
Dept. of ECE MESCE Kuttippuram15
-
7/29/2019 Thin Display Full Report
16/27
Thin Displays Seminar Report 03
In addition to being a transparent light emitter, the top indium-tin-oxide
surface of the TOLED can serve as the hole-injecting electrode for a second
TOLED built on top of the first device as shown
Each device in the stack is then independently addressable and can be
tailored to emit its own colour through the adjacent transparent organic layers,
the transparent contacts, and the glass substrate. This allows the entire area of the
vertically stacked pixel to emit any mixture of the three primary colours.
SOLED architecture is a significant departure from the traditional side by
side (SxS) approach used in CRTs and LCDs today compared to SxS
configuration, SOLEDs offer compelling performance enhancements:
Full colour tunability: SOLEDs offer fullcolour
tunability for true colour quality at each pixelvaluable when colour
fidelity k important.
High resolution: SOLEDs also offer 3x higher resolution
than the comparable SxS display. While it takes 3 SxS pixels (an R,G,B)lo
generate full colour display, it takes only one SOLED pixel or one-third the
area to achieve the same. This is especially advantageous when maximizing
pixel density is important.
Dept. of ECE MESCE Kuttippuram16
-
7/29/2019 Thin Display Full Report
17/27
Thin Displays Seminar Report 03
Nearly 100% fill factor: SOLEDs also maximize fill factor.
For example. when a full colour calls for green, the red &blue pixels are
turned off in the SxS structure. By comparison all the pixels turn on green
in a SOLED under the same conditions. This means that SOLED color
definition and picture quality are superior.
Scalable to large pixel size: In large screen displays,
individual pixels are frequently large enough to be seen by the eye at short
range. With the S x S format, the eye may perceive the individual red, green
and blue instead of the intended colour mixture. With a SOLED, each pixel
emits the desire colour and, thus, is perceived correctly no matter what size
it is and from where it is viewed.
ORGANIC VAPOR PHASE DEPOSITION (OVPD)
Universal Display Corporation and its research partners at Princeton
University have developed a transformational technology which can reduce the
cost and increase the efficiency of the OLED production process.
The technology, Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD), can enable a
low cost, precise, high throughput process for fabricating OLEDs.
Dept. of ECE MESCE Kuttippuram17
-
7/29/2019 Thin Display Full Report
18/27
Thin Displays Seminar Report 03
The OVPD production process utilizes a carrier gas stream in a hot walled
reactor at very low pressure to precisely deposit the thin layers of organic
materials used in OLED displays. Conventional OLED fabrication equipment
evaporates the organic molecules at high temperature and pressure. OVPD offers
the ability to precisely control the multi-source deposition required for full-color
OLED displays. The OVPD design should also be adaptable to the rapid, uniform
deposition of organics on large-area substrates and for roll-to-roll processing.
Universal Display is developing the production equipment in partnership
with AIXTRON AG of Aachen, Germany, the leading manufacturer of precisionsemiconductor production equipment for LEDs. The equipment will be sold
exclusively by AIXTRON under royalty-bearing licenses from UDC.
ORGANIC LASERS
Organic lasers, based on UDC's pioneering work with Princeton
University, have the potential to revolutionize yet another industry.
An organic laser is a solid-state device based on organic materials and
structures similar to those used in UDC's display technologies. An optically-
pumped organic laser demonstrates five key laser characteristics: spatial
coherence, a clear threshold, strongly polarized light emission, spectral line
narrowing, and the existence of laser cavity modes. To realize commercialpotential, the key technical challenge today is to demonstrate a mechanism for
the electrical pumping of these lasers.
The use of small-molecule organic materials opens the door to an entirely
new class of light emitters for diode lasers. These organic lasers may offer:
Greater color variety

Tunability
Further miniaturization
Easier processing
Lower cost in a host of end uses
Potential applications include optical memories (e.g., compact discs and
digital versatile discs (DVDs), CD-ROMs, optical scanners, sensors, and laser
printers.
PATTERNING BY STAMPING
Universal Display Corporation and its research partners, Princeton
University and University of Southern California, have developed a novel
process for patterning electrodes in OLEDs which shows promise of making
them more efficient and less expensive to manufacture.
This invention is based on a cold welding process to pattern electrodes to
sizes as small as 12 microns. UDC has been granted the exclusive worldwide
license for these and other associated technologies.
This technology is potentially cost-effective, offers high throughput and is
well-suited for large-area and roll-to-roll fabrication. It is a valuable addition to
UDC's portfolio of innovative OLED technologies for this emerging industry.

A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN OLEDS
Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation (CMO), Taiwan, and IBM Japan,
have jointly developed OLEDs based on advanced amorphous silicon. The full-
colour 50.8 cm (20-inch) OLED displays consumes less power than competitive
flat-panel technologies and allows full-size computer displays and flat-panel TV
screens. The costs involved in fabrication are less.
OLEDs have long been heralded as the display technology of the future,but have so far failed to compete with conventional technologies beyond displays
of small size and law information content, such as car radio and cell phone
displays that are available in the market. A major limitation has been the
expensive polycrystalline silicon which drives light emission in the organic
layers.
The revolutionary prototype by CMO and IBM offers amorphous siliconas a perfect alternative. Amorphous silicon is an unordered material structure,
which can, unlike polycrystalline silicon, be implemented easily and cost-
effectively over large areas. The use of existing ITT- LCD manufacturing
prpcess and facility for commercial production of OLEDs is another milestone
achieved with the tech nology.
The advanced amorphous silicon cir cuitry, together with superiorperformance characteristics of the light-emitting layers themselves as well as the
overall device architecture, results in a display that is comparable to a high-end
LCD display of the same size and resolution, with half the power consumption at
typical desktop-dis play brightness, better colour saturation, and larger viewing
angle. The display has WXGA resolution (1280 x 768) and bright ness of 300
cd/rn and consumes 25W power. The full video capability extends its usab to
large flat-panel TVs. 0

CONCLUSION
Organic materials are poised as never before to transform the world of
circuit and display technology. Major electronics firms such as Philips and
Pioneer, and smaller companies such as Cambridge Display Technology,
Universal Display and Uniax, are betting that the future holds tremendous
opportunity for the low cost and some times surprisingly high performance
offered by organic electronic and opto electronic devices. Using organic light-
emitting devices (OLEDs), organic full colour displays may eventually replace
liquidcrystal displays (LCDs) for use with laptop and eve desktop computers.
Such displays c deposited on flexible plastic coils, eliminating the fragile and
heavy glass substrates used in LCDs, and can emit bright light without the
pronounced directionality inherent in LCD viewing, all with efficiencies higher
than can be obtained with in incandescent light bulbs.
Organic electronics are already entering commercial world. Multi colour
automobile stereo displays are now available from Pioneer Corp., of Tokyo and
Royal Philips Electronics ,Amsterdam is gearing up to produce born OLED back
lights to be used in LCDs and organic integrated circuits.
The first products using organic displays are already being introduced into
the market place. And while it is always difficult to predict when and what future
products will be introduced, many manufactures are now working to introduce
cell phones and 1 digital assistants with OLED displays with in the next one or
two years. The ultimate goal of using high efficiency, phosphorescent flexible
OLED displace in lap top computers and even for home video applications may
be no more than a few years in to the future.
The portable and light weight OLED displays will soon cover our walls
replacing the bulky and power hungry cathode ray tube.
