Abstract
An organic light-emitting diode display which can display independent images on both sides is described. This display can be driven with passive matrix or active matrix schemes. The invention combines a unique stacked organic diode structure and special driving schemes involving time-sequential reversed fields.
Claims6
A double-sided organic light emitting diode (OLED) architecture for emitting light from both sides using independent driving voltages, the architecture comprising:
- an opaque middle electrode, configured to act as an anode for a first OLED and a cathode for a second OLED;
- a semitransparent cathode corresponding to the first OLED;
- a transparent anode corresponding to the second OLED;
- and
- a driving circuit, comprising a driving thin-film transistor (TFT) for driving both the first OLED and the second OLED, wherein a source or drain of the driving TFT is connected to both the semitransparent cathode corresponding to the first OLED, and the transparent anode corresponding to the second OLED;
- wherein the driving circuit is configured to provide signals to the first OLED and the second OLED corresponding to independent images that are opposite in sign and interlaced in time, and wherein signals of one sign drive the first OLED and signals of the other sign drive the second OLED.
