Organic light emitting display (oled)materials pioneer OLED-T has unveiled a new host material that is said to bring ‘significant benefits’ over existing materials.
According to the company, the host layer is a critical part of an oled, determining efficiency and lifetime. The latest material – called E746 – is intended as a direct replacement for aluminium quinolate (Alq3), the most commonly used host material.
E746 is said support an increase in current efficiency of between 30% and 50% and a power efficiency improvement of up to 80% OLED-T also claims display lifetimes can be at least doubled.
“OLED-T is well positioned to take advantage of the growing market of oleds through its portfolio of materials. E746 offers superior performance as a host material, compared with existing oled materials, and crucially can be used as a direct replacement for aluminium quinolate, meaning display manufacturers can gain the benefits using existing manufacturing processes,” said Myrddin Jones, OLED-T’s ceo.
OLED-T has developed E746 for oleds in mobile devices, where its power consumption and lifetime performance benefits are expected to deliver improved product performance.
