High-Performance Tandem White Micro-OLEDs for Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality Displays

Abstract

To achieve wide-gamut and high-efficiency tandem white OLED (WOLED) microdisplays, we propose a new structure leveraging high-order antinodes and patterned microcavities. The color gamut coverages of 95% Rec. 2020 and 92% Rec. 2020 can be achieved in B/G/R tandem WOLED with a moderate microcavity and B/YG tandem WOLED with a strong microcavity, respectively. We have also boosted the optical efficiency by 62% for the tandem B/YG WOLED using the high-order antinodes at optimal conditions. Such a WOLED microdisplay helps reduce the power consumption of virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) displays while keeping a wide color gamut.
