We fabricated OTFT-OLED display panel by using Ag-paste for source and drains electrode of OTFTs. The OTFTs were fabricated by solution processes such as spin-coating for PVP gate dielectric and screen printing for S/D electrodes with Ag-paste, except pentacene active layer which was deposited by evaporation. The mobility was 0.024 cm2/V.sec , off state current ${\sim}10-11A$, threshold voltage 7.6 V and on/off current ratio ${\sim}105$. The panel consisted of 16 x 16 pixels and each pixel consisted of 2 OTFTs, 1 Capacitor and 1 OLED. The pixels successfully worked in terms of current magnitude supplied to OLED and the control ability of driving and switching OTFTs.

To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, we applied impedance spectroscopy to analysis on OLED degradation mechanism by monitoring impedance change during constant voltage aging, and modeling OLED with lumped circuit elements. Change in each element value was used to explain charge accumulation and field redistribution in each organic layer.

We propose a new pixel structure for Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED). The proposed pixel structure can display full color images by compensating threshold voltage (Vth) variation of driving TFTs. And we obtain an improved contrast ratio(C/R) of higher than 600:1

An organic light-emitting diode(OLED) has advantages of low power driving, self light-emitting, wide viewing angle, excellent high resolution, full color, high reproduction, fast response speed, simple manufacturing process, or the like. However, there are still a number of challenges to get over in order to put it to practical use as a high performance display. First of all, the most important thing is to improve the efficiency of the OLED element in order to commercialize it. To this end, its efficiency can be improved by lowering the driving voltage through the improvement of structure of the OLED element and the application of new organic substance. Therefore, in this study, we have manufactured a red OLED element by applying fluorescent dyes to the emitting layer of the element having the structure of ITO/TPD/ Znq2+DCJTB /Znq2/Al and the structure of ITO/CuPc/NPB/ Alq3+DCJTB/Alq3/Al, in order to light-emitting various colors or improve the brightness and the efficiency, and then we have evaluated its electrical and optical characteristics.

In this paper, the hole injection layer(HIL) materials have been synthesized and analyzed. Their HOMO levels are $4.93{\sim}5.22\;eV$, and their energy band gaps are $2.74{\sim}3.19\;eV$. Their glass transition temperatures($T_g$) are all above $114^{\circ}C$, which implies that they are highly thermal-stable. The green OLED devices with a structure of ITO(150 nm)/NEW_HIL(50 nm)/NPB(30 nm)/$Alq_3$(50 nm)/Al:Li(100 nm) were fabricated and tested, incorporating these newly synthesized HIL materials. According to the test results of OLED devices, the I-V-L performances of these devices increase in the following sequence: ELM307 > ELM200 > ELM321 > ELM327 > ELM325. In addition, the OLED device with ELM307 as a HIL has the highest brightness and efficiency at the same driving voltage. These experimental results have shown that ELM307 can be used as one of the most promising candidates for HIL materials.

A new voltage-driven pixel circuit using soluble-processed organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) for an active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) is proposed. The proposed circuit is composed of four switching TFTs, one driving TFT and one storage capacitor. The proposed circuit can compensate for the degradation of OLED current caused by the threshold voltage shift of the OTFT. The simulation results show that the variation of OLED current corresponding to a 3V threshold voltage shift is decreased by 30% compared to the conventional 2TlC structure.

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel with $64\;{\times}\;64$ pixels utilizing the charge-pump (CP) pixel addressing method was fabricated using conventional thin-film processes. Each pixel consists of a-Si:H Schottky diode and $ITO/SiO_2/ITO$ capacitor. It is shown that CP-OLED is technically feasible for information display and a driving voltage below $4V_{pp}$ is enough for nominal operation.

OLED devices with a multilayer structure were fabricated using newly synthesized hole transport materials. We confirmed that ELM229 and ELM339, hole transport materials did not affect the electroluminescence color, and that by adopting this novel hole transport materials, OLEDs with a lower driving voltage but a higher efficiency were developed.

We have demonstrated the enhancement of the power efficiency and device lifetime of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by introducing the ETL 1 / ETL2 (composite ETL) structure between EML and cathode and the HIL1 (composite HIL) / HIL2 between anode and HTL. Compared to reference devices retaining conventional architecture, novel OLED structure shows an outstanding EL efficiency that is 1.6 times higher (${\sim}4.5$ lm/w versus ${\sim}$ 2.71 lm/w for the reference device) and lower driving voltage $({\bigtriangleup}V>1V)$, but also a longer lifetime and smaller operating voltage drift over time. It is suggested in this work that the device performance can be improved by in-situ ohmic contact through novel electron controlled structure and reduction of charge accumulation in the interface through composite HIL

In this paper, we proposed a new driving scheme to reduce the motion blur and save the power for OLEDs(organic light emitting diodes). We adopted a DVS (dynamic voltage scaling) method to reduce power consumption and the division of TV field to improve motion blur. In the proposed scheme, BEW (Blur Edge Width) was decreased to the ratio of 1/4 compared to the conventional scheme under the optimal conditions. In this scheme, the gray levels to which the DVS method can be applied were divided into much smaller groups depending on the number of subfields. Therefore, our scheme does not guarantee less power consumption for every image compared to the conventional scheme. However, the new scheme can move the gray levels adopting the DVS to higher gray levels. Thus, we can save power even when having images at high gray levels.
