Advancing Phosphorescent OLED Displays (Printed Electronics Europe 2019)

OLED displays are now in commercial production for a range of products from cell phones, tablets, UHD TV's, and newly emerging applications such as AR/VR headsets and wearable devices. OLED illumination can also provide for a healthy display, minimizing the output of damaging deep blue wavelengths. In this presentation we outline how we are ensuring that our PHOLED technology meets the ever more demanding performance requirements of future products, and we will outline how our technology can further improve their performance at lower cost, as well as improve personal health.
