Abstract

Advances in white OLED tandem architecture are discussed.With these structures, stable and low-power full color AMOLED displays can be fabricated that are anticipated to be suitable for large area applications such as TVs. With a tandem architecture, efficient (24 cd/A) OLED structures with exceptional stability (${\sim}100,000\;h$ at $1000\;cd/m^2$) are described. In addition, excellent color gamut (>100% NTSC) can be attained by incorporating advanced color filters into the AMOLED backplane in a typical bottom-emitting configuration.
