Abstract

Since 1992, Philips has been developing polymer OLEDs resulting in a first commercial monochrome display just 10 years later. Philips is now focusing on the technology development required to mass-produce full-color polymer OLDE displays, based on passive and active-matrix addressing. High precision inkjet printing has been chosen as the deposition technology for the OLED material. In this paper, we give an overview of the activities of Philips in the area of mobile OLED applications and explore the route towards large screen OLED television.
