OLED efficiency improved by electrode

Colorado-based start-up Coled has given further details of its electrode modification which increases the efficiency of OLED displays.

We have a self-assembly system which acts as an energy-adjusting barrier layer between organic and inorganic at the hole-injection electrode, Coled chief scientist and CEO Dr Neil Gough told Electronics Weekly.

This means it is deposited on an ITO electrode before the light-emitting polymer or small-molecule emitter is laid down. Compared to a display without the barrier layer, at the same current you get the same brightness at a lower voltage drop, claimed Gough.
