Technology Trend of Polymer Light Emitting Diodes

Speaker: Prof. Chain-Shu Hsu

College of Science, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan

Abstract:

This seminar will discuss the recent progress in the field of polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs). In the first part, I will review the best performance light emitting polymers which include the classes of poly (p-phenylene vinylene) poly (diphenyphenylene vinylene) and polyfluorene. Next, different approaches to obtain high efficiency white light PLEDs will be discussed, such as using homojunction between emissive layers. Finally, the inkjet printing process of PLEDs as the most promising manufacturing approach for full color PLED displays will be addressed, followed by a brief prospect of the nano-structure enhanced PLED technology. 

Pizza lunch will be served at noon!
