Optical metasurfaces are starting to find their way into integrated devices, where they can enhance and control the emission, modulation, dynamic shaping, and detection of light waves. In this study, we show that the architecture of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays can be completely reenvisioned through the introduction of nanopatterned metasurface mirrors. In the resulting meta-OLED displays, different metasurface patterns define red, green, and blue pixels and ensure optimized extraction of these colors from organic, white light emitters. This new architecture facilitates the creation of devices at the ultrahigh pixel densities (>10,000 pixels per inch) required in emerging display applications (for instance, augmented reality) that use scalable nanoimprint lithography. The fabricated pixels also offer twice the luminescence efficiency and superior color purity relative to standard color-filtered white OLEDs.

Multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) offered exceptional solution for narrowband organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices in terms of color purity and luminescence efficiency, while the development of new MR skeleton remained an exigent task, especially for long wavelength region. We hereby demonstrate that a simple modification of the B (boron)-N (nitrogen) framework by sp3 -carbon insertion would significant bathochromic shift the short-range chargetransfer emission and improve the device performances. The bis(acridan)phenylenebased skeleton developed in this contribution presented a non-planar conformation and allowed facile introduction of isolating units to prevent triplet-involved quenching, deriving two luminophores with quantum yields approaching 90% and narrow FWMHs below 30 nm in film state. Corresponding green-emissive devices realized superior performances comparing to the planar carbazolyl-based MR-TADF analogues, with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) up to 28.2% and small efficiency rolloff without the involvement of any sensitizing host

AbstractWe demonstrate an electrically-driven metal-dielectric photonic crystal emitter by fabricating a series of organic light emitting diode microcavities in a vertical stack. The states of the individual microcavities are shown to split into bands of hybridized photonic energy states through interaction with adjacent cavities. The propagating photonic modes within the crystal depend sensitively on the unit cell geometry and the optical properties of the component materials. By systematically varying the metallic layer thicknesses, we show control over the density of states and band center. The emergence of a tunable photonic band gap due to an asymmetry-introduced Peierls distortion is demonstrated and correlated to the unit cell configuration. This work develops a class of one dimensional, planar, photonic crystal emitter architectures enabling either narrow linewidth, multi-mode, or broadband emission with a high degree of tunability.
