OLED-TV Display/Monitor Technology News

Alps Electric Co Ltd developed a polymer OLED panel based on a printing technology and exhibited it at the company's exhibition, Alps Show 2008, which took place from Sept 25 to 26, 2008.

According to the company, the panel uses a film substrate on which a getter, in addition to the emission layer and the electrodes, is formed by printing. The getter is used to absorb water, etc.

The panel can be formed by all sorts of printing techniques such as gravure printing and inkjet printing. It is likely that gravure printing will be used when an inexpensive material is used, whereas inkjet and other printing methods will be used when an expensive material is applied only to the light emitting region.
