Low-Temperature OLED Device

Super-long-lived charges releasable

Trapped charges with lifetimes exceeding 2 hours are observed in doped OLEDs, and alternating positive/negative pulse voltage detraps and recombines them to achieve tenfold light emission enhancement at low temperatures.

Advantages

Trapped charge lifetime exceeds 2 hours (at 20K)

Tenfold light emission enhancement (alternating positive/negative pulse vs. constant voltage drive)

Lifetime governed by charge spacing, not trap energy depth
