OLED-TV Display/Monitor Technology News

OLED-T, a developer and manufacturer of world-class organic light emitting diode (OLED) materials and device structures, today announced a green phosphorescent OLED material with world class efficiency performance.

The new material called E255a has a high colour saturation making it ideal for a broad range of product applications in single colour and full colour displays. The material also has a very high efficiency delivering high brightness at low power making it ideal for mobile product applications with either passive matrix or active matrix driving.

OLED-T has already established a world class materials and technology portfolio in the charge injection, transportation and host areas and the new material expands this line-up into the emitter area. OLED-T is also developing phosphorescent red and fluorescent blue materials in order to offer manufacturers a single source of all the materials required to manufacture an OLED display.

“OLED-T is well positioned to take advantage of the growing market of OLED displays through its portfolio of materials for OLED displays. The new green material exceeds the requirements for consumer applications. These performance results are impressive and a tribute to the research and development team at OLED-T,” said Myrddin Jones, CEO, OLED-T..

“ The combination of high efficiency and high colour saturation are very hard to achieve and they firmly position the company as a world-class provider of materials for OLED displays,” added Jones.said Myrddin Jones, CEO, OLED-T.

The University of Hong Kong has manufactured OLED demonstrators using E255a and has reported a device efficiency of 40 cd/A at 1000 cdm-2 with a very saturated green colour coordinate of (0.28, 0.64) which is wider than commercially available LCD products.

OLED is developing into an important market for the display industry as well as the chemical industry. Materials are estimated to make-up 20 per cent of the value of the OLED supply chain.

The worldwide flat panel display market was worth $70 billion in 2006 and is forecast to rise to $100 billion by 2010 according to display industry analysts. OLED is the fastest growing non-LCD display technology and by 2010 it is predicted that the sector will be worth more than $2.5 billion.

E225a will be available for customer sampling from January 2008 and can be deposited onto any desired substrate by vacuum coating methods.
