Solution Overview

Problem

Organic light emitting display devices experience color defects and differences due to variations in peak wavelength when viewed from different positions or angles, making it difficult to achieve a uniform color display.

Innovation Solution

The design optimizes the moving range of the peak wavelength of the electroluminescence (EL) spectrum by setting a peak wavelength of EL spectrum (PWES) structure, ensuring the peak wavelength remains within a specific range (e.g., ±10 nm) across various positions and angles, using a configuration with emission layers and charge generation layers to maintain consistent color coordinates.
