Abstract
Since Samsung introduced its first-generation Super active-matrix organic light-emitting display (AMOLED) displays on Galaxy S smartphones in 2010, AMOLED technology has garnered significant attention, driving the establishment of numerous production lines. LG launched AMOLED TVs using white OLED (WOLED) technology in 2013, followed by Samsung's mass production of quantum dot (QD)-OLED panels in 2021. In 2024, Huawei unveiled the world's first three-fold AMOLED smartphone. These advancements required decades of research to evolve from experimental prototypes to cutting-edge products. Over the past 30 years, OLED components have been extensively reviewed. However, other critical elements for constructing displays remain less explored. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the key materials essential for AMOLED development, with a particular focus on the four key components: substrates, thin-film transistors, OLEDs, and optical films.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
