Eastman Kodak today announced the introduction of a highly efficient OLED material that will enable low-power, full-color displays
with outstanding lifetimes. The new material, trademarked KODAK OLED
Material EK-GD403, utilizes green dopant technology to deliver a new
level of OLED display performance and reliability.
Green dopants are materials that control color output and boost
efficiency.
"Kodak has continued to make greater than 50
percent year-over-year improvements in OLED luminance efficiencies over
the past few years, and we will continue to fill the pipeline with new
innovation to ensure that Kodak OLED materials are ready for use in
emerging large-market applications," said
Corey Hewitt, Operations Manager and Vice President, Kodak OLED Systems (we had an interview with Corey a few months ago).
KODAK OLED Material EK-GD403, used in combination with Kodak OLED
Material EK-BH109, provides low-voltage green OLEDs with luminous
efficiencies greater than 31 cd/A and lifetimes in excess of 65,000
hours (from an initial luminance of 1,000 cd/m(2)
and results in an external quantum efficiency of 8.7%.
