摘要
We review recent results in the field of organic light-emitting devices (OLED's), with particular attention to the application of organic light-emitting devices to ultra-lightweight, full color, flat-panel displays. We show that OLED brightness, efficiency, operating voltage, and lifetime is sufficient to compete with other flat-panel display technologies such as backlit liquid crystal displays. We describe a novel, tunable OLED consisting of vertically stacked, transparent light-emitting devices which can serve as a color-tunable element in high-resolution full-color displays. In addition, the unique physical properties of organic thin films allow for flexible, conformable, or foldable displays which are unobtainable with conventional, inorganic semiconductor technologies.
