ANATOMY OF LED LAMP 10
OLED: LAMP ADVANTAGES Planar light source Printable process (and hence low cost) Flexible light source Transparent light source Less costly fixtures and heat sink (if needed) When will all these be realized?? 11
OLED: LIFE PERFORMANCE (All Fluorescent) 12 John Hamer et.al System design for a wide color gamut TV sized AMOLED display, Journal of the SID 16/1, 2008, pp.3-14
WHITE OLED: ALL FLUORESCENT Known for long life at high current density (20 ma/cm 2 ) All colors including Blue is more stable and Blue has longer life than phosphorescent blue Efficiency is low-triplet transition forbidden (25 lm/w at 1000 cd/m 2 ) 13
PHOSPHORESCENT BLUE Debatable for long-term life performance 100% phosphorescent OLEDs (RGB phos materials) for high intensity of light is not embraced by the industry for mass mfg. The life performance of Phos Blue has shown remarkable improvement but not as good as fluorescent blue and not used in commercial product. 14
WHITE OLED: ALL PHOSPHORESCENT High efficiency 4x compared to Fluorescent white Short Life of blue in the mix degrades the color stability as the OLED ages High light output shortens the life of White OLED Efficiency dip takes place at high light output. 15
HYBRID WHITE OLED: FLUORESCENT BLUE AND PHOS RED AND GREEN Best of both worlds Good color stability because of stable fluorescent blue Efficiency advantage because of phos red and green Blue is inefficient- triplets transition forbidden 16
HYBRID WHITE OLED: FLUORESCENT BLUE AND PHOS RED AND GREEN 17
WHITE OLED: FLUORESCENT PUMPED PHOLED (FP-PHOLED) Triplets on Fluorescent blue is employed to pump phos orange and thus triplets of fluor blue are utilized Good color stability in life Efficiency nearly equal to all PHOLED white Long life Reduced efficiency dip (droop, roll-off) 18

CONCLUSION OLED research should concentrate on FP- PHOLED for Lighting Application Good Color stability, long life, high efficiency and reduced efficiency dip BEST OF ALL WORLDS exist in FP-PHOLED. The mechanism of triplet-triplet annihilation should be investigated in detail to solve the problem of efficiency dip. Plenty of lessons available from inorganic LEDs to solve efficiency dip problem- notable are (i) Charge overflow at high current densities (ii) Auger emission losses at high current densities. 33
