9‐3: The Latest Technology Breakthroughs for 31” 4K Flexible Printed OLED TV Display Technology

Abstract

The flexible printed OLED TV display technology will be able to create new application market, such as rollable/foldable TV, in the future. It's TV Mobiles. Since the TCL (TCL CSOT, Guangdong Juhua Printed Display Technology Co. Ltd. & TCL Corporate Research) has successfully demonstrated the 31” FHD flexible printed OLED TV, there are a lot of technology breakthroughs for improving the panel performance and cost reduction. The co‐planar top gate Oxide TFT device architecture, printing OLED top emission device architecture with new OLED materials, MURA free ink jet printing technology with unique bank design, advanced encapsulation technology with new inorganic material for panel performance improvement are developed. Especially innovative mechanical release technology without using laser lift off technology is developed for cost reduction and production yield up in flexible printed OLED TV MP line. Based on these technology breakthroughs, 31” 4K flexible printed OLED TV with high resolution(142ppi) are fabricated.The performance of 31” flexible printed OLED TV is, 4K high resolution (3840x2160, 142ppi), luminance: FW 150nits, excellent C/R; > 1M:1, color gamut: DCI‐P3: >99%, wide viewing angle (Δu'v' < 0.02): ≥ +/‐ 45°, A/R: 47.75%, and curvature radius: 20mmIn this paper, the panel performance of 31” 4K high resolution flexible printed OLED TV and the latest technology breakthroughs are discussed in details.
