Published on: November 4, 2022

  • Utilized photochemical crosslinking of oxetane groups to create insoluble polymer networks, similar to photoresist patterning.
  • Employed consecutive deposition of red, green, and blue luminescent polymers to create RGB pixelated displays.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a patterning technique for electroluminescent polymers with resolution sufficient for pixelated matrix displays.
    • Fabricated multi-color OLED devices using consecutive deposition of RGB polymers.
    • Achieved device efficiencies comparable to state-of-the-art OLEDs with slightly reduced onset voltages.

    Conclusions:

    • Introduced a new class of electroluminescent polymers enabling photoresist-like patterning for multi-color OLEDs.
    • This approach overcomes limitations of previous solution-processing techniques for high-resolution display fabrication.
    • The developed polymers offer a promising route towards cheaper, simpler, and high-performance multi-color OLED manufacturing.
