Duty ratio drive prediction model of lifetime degradation for organic light emitting diode‐on‐silicon microdisplay

Abstract

AbstractA duty ratio drive prediction (DRDP) model of luminance degradation for organic light emitting diodes (OLED) microdisplay is proposed in this paper. The traditional stretched exponential decay (SED) model is not applicable for OLED driven by duty ratio. The DRDP model introduces the duty ratio as the variables affecting the lifetime of OLED. By fitting the undetermined coefficients with the measured luminance data, the quantitative relationships among the initial luminance, duty ratio, and OLED lifetime are obtained. Meanwhile, the model quantifies the phenomenon of spontaneous luminance recovery, which occurs when OLED switches from bright to dark. Finally, the DRDP model is used to compensate the luminance degradation of OLED driven by duty ratio. The experimental results show that the average prediction accuracy of DRDP model for white, red, green, and blue (W/R/G/B) OLED degradation trend is 0.9623. The average prediction accuracy of W/R/G/B OLED lifetime is 0.6119, which is greater than that of SED model. The lifetime is extended by 89.83% after compensation.
