Solution Overview

Problem

Current self-emission display devices face limitations in emission efficiency, color temperature, and visibility, particularly in tandem devices with multiple stacked layers, where achieving high resolution and integration while maintaining vivid color representation is challenging.

Innovation Solution

A white light emitting device is designed with a specific arrangement of emission layers, where the triplet energy levels of dopants are adjusted to improve efficiency and color temperature, featuring a first blue dopant with a triplet energy level equal to or higher than the green dopant, and a phosphorescent stack with emission layers emitting different colors to enhance color representation and visibility.
