background

● Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been expected for next generation of displays and lightings
● Recently liquid-OLEDs with liquid organic semiconductors (LOSs) have been developed
● Our research group proposed microfluidic OLEDs, which integrated liquid-OLEDs with microfluidic technologies (Fig. 1)

summary

● Greenish-blue and yellow LOSs were applied as liquid emitters
● Integrated 60-µm microchannels were fabricated
● Greenish-blue and yellow liquid emitters were alternately injected into the fine microchannels (Fig. 3)
● White light was generated with simultaneous greenish-blue and yellow emissions (Fig. 4 (a), (b))


predominance

● Formation of crack-free light-emitting layer taking advantage of liquid flowability
● Recovery emission via reinjection of new LOSs
● On-demand multicolor light emission

application/development

● Next generation displays and lightings
● On-demand portable biochip
