Mitsubishi
OLED
On December 2005, the company announced their development of new blue
phosphorescence Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) material which has four times
greater luminous efficiency than currently used fluorescent material, and can be
manufactured at lower cost than other OLED processes; it uses a wet-coating
process, and could be applied for large panels.
OLED devices emit light when an electric current is applied and do not require a
backlight to function. They consume less power, have a wider viewing angle, and
display a brighter image with a refresh rate a thousand times faster than LCDs.
According to Mitsubishi, the new OLED device also employs hole blocking material
and hole injection material to achieve 30cd/A efficiency at an intensity of 100 cd/m2
(external quantum efficiency: 13 percent), more than twice that of conventional blue
wet-coating type OLEDs.
