OLED-TV Display/Monitor Technology News

Cambridge Display Technology and Sumation announced substantially improved lifetime data for green and red P-OLED materials.

Data from spin coated devices using a common cathode and interlayer material demonstrate lifetimes(1) for recently developed solution-processable green and red P-OLED materials of 78,000 hours and 67,000 hours, respectively, from an initial luminance of 1000 candelas per square meter, or cd/m2. This is equivalent(2) to approximately 445,000 hours and 420,000 hours from an operating brightness of 400cd/m2 for these materials. These latest lifetimes represent a 60% and 280% increase in performance for green and red materials over results that were announced in May and March of this year, respectively.

Chief Executive Officer of CDT, Dr. David Fyfe commented, "Once again, we are reporting tremendous progress on materials developed at Sumation and tested at CDT's facilities. Rapid material development continues unabated and is a testament to the excellent collaboration between Sumation's research centers in the U.K. and Japan."
