Abstract
OLEDs are playing an important role in flexible displays, smart wearable, in-vehicle displays, and other fields. Foldable OLED panels consist of multiple layers of film. To ensure the reliability, some key films such as the OLED should be placed on the neutral plane, which is usually achieved by adjusting the thickness of each layer. In this paper, genetic algorithm is introduced to find the optimum configurations of the thickness of each layer. Based on the mathematical express of the stress happening on each film when an OLED panel is folded, the objective function can be defined and the optical thicknesses of some layers can be got. The simulation results show that with such optical thickness configuration, the stresses on key films can effectively reduce. The method proposed in the paper can help improve the folding performance of a foldable OLED panel.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Society for Information Display publishes original works dealing with the theory and practice of information display. Coverage includes materials, devices and systems; the underlying chemistry, physics, physiology and psychology; measurement techniques, manufacturing technologies; and all aspects of the interaction between equipment and its users. Review articles are also published in all of these areas. Occasional special issues or sections consist of collections of papers on specific topical areas or collections of full length papers based in part on oral or poster presentations given at SID sponsored conferences.
