Abstract
—: Organic light‐emitting device (OLED) technology has recently been shown to demonstrate excellent performance and cost characteristics for use in numerous flat‐panel‐display (FPD) applications. Universal Display Corp. (UDC), together with its academic partners at Princeton University and the University of Southern California, are developing high‐efficiency electrophosphorescent OLEDs, based on triplet emission. These material systems show good lifetimes, and are well suited for the commercialization of low‐power‐consumption full‐color active‐matrix OLED displays. Their very high conversion efficiencies may even allow them to be driven by amorphous‐silicon backplanes, and in this paper we consider design guidelines for an amorphous‐silicon pixel to minimize display non‐uniformities due to threshold voltage variations.
