Organic light-emitting device research focuses on the use of small-molecule and polymer materials to make organic electroluminescent displays, with both passive-and active-matrix technologies. This paper will focus on the characteristics of red, green, and blue electroluminescent polymers suitable for fabricating monochrome and full-color passive-matrix displays. The stability of polymer OLEDs, and the use of ink-jet printing for direct high-resolution patterning of the light-emitting polymers will also be discussed. It will be shown that the performance of light-emitting polymers is at the brink of being acceptable for practical applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
