A Novel Class of Blue PhOLED Emitter Materials

A Novel Class of Blue PhOLED Emitter Materials
Field
Advanced Materials
Patent
IP00584

Key Problem and Market Opportunity

  • OLED are increasingly used to replace LCD as flat panel display technology
  • Phosphorescent emitter materials are preferred over florescent emitter materials in the fabrication of OLED because the external quantum efficiency (EQE) is four times higher 
  • Since the life time of blue phosphorescent emitters are too short for practical applications, current OLED products use red and green phosphorescent emitters and blue fluorescent emitters 
  • There is a desire to develop blue phosphorescent emitters with high EQE and long lifetime 
  • The OLED emitter material market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 35% from 2017 to reach US$ 2.5 billion by 2020.
