Abstract

We provide a systematic and quantitative analysis of the design of flat panel displays (FPDs) based on organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). Key performance parameters are estimated for OLED-based displays; system issues, including addressing schemes and strategies required to achieve full color displays, are treated quantitatively. Furthermore, addressing schemes for recently demonstrated, full color, high resolution stacked OLEDs are discussed. Our analysis shows that OLED technology is suitable for many FPD applications, and can provide performance superior to that achieved using alternative display technologies.
