Flexible OLED, Structure, Fabrication.Abstract
Flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) technology with thin, light in weight, and free in design have been developed and perfected rapidly. The versatility of flexible OLED technology has been effectively proved in the sectors of displays, lighting, and medicine. In this article, the structure and fabrication of flexible OLED were introduced. Normal flexible OLED device construction includes flexible OLED substrate, barrier layers, electrode and organic layer. The flexible OLED is made on the substrate. The barrier layer is used to shield the OLED material from airborne oxygen and humidity. The electrodes are used for electricity, and the organic layer is used for light. The production processes of flexible OLED include coat-debond with advantages such as good stability and thermal conductivity, bond-debond with the advantage of simple and convenient and roll-to-roll [R2R] method with advantages of low cost, and mass production. Additionally, the application fields of these methods have been highlighted.
