Grant Description

Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) There are two OLED Areas of Interest for this Announcement. It is recognized that OLED performance is based on a complex relationship between choice of substrate, transparent conductor, light emitting materials, conductive and blocking materials, electrode materials, and encapsulants. Enhancements in one technological area should not come at the expense of overall device performance. To this point, multiple areas of interest may be addressed in a single application. The primary objective of all proposed OLED research should be improved device efficiency with secondary objectives of improved device stability, luminance, and cost. (Applicable to Areas of Interest 5 and 6) Area of Interest 6: Strategies for improved light extraction of OLEDs  (DE-PS26-07NT43130-06) Vast improvements have been made recently in the extraction efficiency of LEDs. However, corresponding advancements have not yet been fully applied to OLED devices. This Area of Interest is seeking research into optical device design for improved light extraction, while maintaining, or improving, device stability and device cost. OLED devices have the possibility of using unique geometries or structures, unavailable to their inorganic LED counterparts, to enhance light extraction efficiency which have not been fully explored. Advancements to extraction efficiency in existing state of the art OLED devices may provide the final necessary enhancement to allow for the competitive performance of these devices. Suggested milestones for this research are enhancements to extraction efficiency, overall device efficiency, and device stability.
