The 3D-printer used for the photoresist exposures was a Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K. Avoid the new update (1.9) of the Chitubox-software supplied with this printer because it does not work properly. Version 1.8 or earlier does works correctly.

Some people got a bit angry, sad, or even emotional because of my rather cynical closing remark (which suggests planned obsolence of these devices). In a way, I guess that is a good thing, because I myself am very much against such practices. But unfortunately this remark also misses some of the nescessary nuance: with OLED devices it is still difficult to achieve the same long operational life times that we know from LCD -displays, due to the limited stability of some of the materials. An aspect I should have added is that, even though it is possible to achieve very long shelf life in research by using exotic packaging methods, these methods can not always be transferred directly to mass production. For example, the metal seal shown in the video was made of a metal mixture that is unacceptable for production based on environmental considerations. Also, the packaging was quite expensive to manufacture. When bringing a product to the market, the design is always the sum of considerations regarding quality, price and environmental impact. And since consumers nowadays are not always prepared to pay for quality, regrettably there is a lot of inferior products on the market.

An INCREDIBLE Video!!! I preferred people being upfront on what Could happen, then saying Good Luck, we build it to specs, and it fails later ( wait...why did I have a failed product ). On a side note.... this probably explains why this happened to me on an OLED display in my home.

I think from your tone it should be obvious that you are not delighted by the practice of limited design life. Thank you for making it a conversation point. Planned obsolescence is when there is a better design choice for long life and it is NOT TAKEN, not when a marketing compromise has to be made.

I have 3 of the first commercial color portable oled devices, nokia n85(2008) galaxy s(2009) and Cowon s9 (2008). Nokia and galaxy used for 3 years maybe before storing in the shelf, cowon s9 almost continuous use for 12 years. None of them developed burn in, while a lot of my later oled phones did (galaxy s7 active likes to turn pinkish for example), i tried to find examples on the web of this devices getting burn in, very few in a decade. I think the oled devices are long lived (so far), but samsung changed the chemical recipe at some point and the newer devices are more prone to burn in.

Really, really nice work putting this video together! The brightness of your oled is much higher than I'd expect. Now I'm curious about hole transport vs injection...
@HuygensOptics
@HuygensOptics 2 года назад
Thanks Ben. Concerning the difference between hole injection and transport layers: I'm not an expert on this, but I think the hole injection is specifically intended to match electrostatic potentials at the anode in order to create as many holes in the material as possible. The transport layer has a high P-type conductivity. So the voltage drop over the transport layer is relatively low and the field over the luminescent layer will be relatively high. In this way it is possible to inject a lot of holes into the electroluminescent layer and at the same time cause most of the recombination to take place in the luminescent layer.

Even if I understand how OLED and lcd screens work I still can't believe how the hell we managed to push that technology to microscopic size and make hi-dense screens that push hundreds of pixels in space of one mm... The same with processors, we managed to squeeze so much transistors in such small space... Also damn... I still sometimes think that 1990 was few years ago... We are old...

I watched this video in hopes of closing the perceived gap between OLED being science and not just magic. Seeing how much it took just to get a barebones low resolution single color display almost reinforces the belief that these OLED panels on phones and such are secretly magic. I'm not well studied in chemistry and electric engineering but I could understand the general concepts in this video, and I still have to take a huge leap of faith to believe my phone screen and TVs aren't just magic instead.

Interesting to hear about the challenges of OLEDs and making them scalable. Seriously great work, thanks for sharing!

My dad worked at a company for a while which worked on a brightness compensation algorithm for oled screens in the mid 2000s. As the oled ages it gets dimmer and they figured out a way to boost the voltage to compensate for this without causing bright/dark spots.
@Tattlebot
@Tattlebot 2 года назад
As I understand, dimming in OLEDs occurs due to the current causing migration of cathode ions into further layers, quenching the phosphorescence. As it is a function of applied current, the lifetime of the display is determined by its operating voltage.

@@gf2e While those are good points, what you're describing is technological obsolescence (new tech is better and old tech is deprecated) instead of planned obsolescence (intentionally designed so that it has to be replaced by the same or very similar product). Tech obsolescence despite being more nuanced (kinda bad but at least understandable), can still be mitigated if the intent for device longevity is there. At a minimum an old smartphone can still be used as an alarm clock for instance even if it no longer works as a phone. While some design intent into creating a longer lasting device may result in an upgradable or more feature full product.

FASCINATING presentation!! If you assume the business is operating under the "manufacturing model", yes, long lasting parts are not good for business. But if the business is operating under the "service of" model of business, then parts that last a REALLY long time are MUCH more profitable and can put landfills out of business. The motto of the manufacturing model of business is: "the more widgets you sell, the more money you make" or another way to say it is: "the more garbage you produce, the more money you make". The motto for the "service of" business model is: "the more satisfied subscribers you have the more money you make". In this model, the incentive is to make things last a long time, require the least possible service provider intervention and minimize energy and resource consumption.

On a side note to vacuum vapour deposition. I am a second generation radio and TV Tech. Just as vacuum tubes were being phased out, I discovered that the main reason valves needed to be replaced was not because the cathode lost its ability to emit electrons, but because of international deposition (vacuum vapour deposition) of the tungsten from the cathode material on the insulating surfaces over the time the valve was used. I actually built a high voltage spark generator (same as a Taser) which you could see destroy the tungsten deposited on the insulating surfaces and I used to "repair low emmisive valves" and picture tubes. You could see blue spark's inside the glass envelope until the tungsten deposited was gone. This use to fix a lot of valves, including Boost diodes and Line Output valve's and bring them up like new ! I think I saw reference to this in a device advertised in America for boosting valves (vacuum tubes). And yes you could actually see the tungsten being blown off the inside of the glass envelope thus removing what was a high resistance leakage between the pins. And NO it did NOT reactivate the cathode material, you could see exactly what was happening inside the glass envelope !

Hola, Francisco...... It was an Incredible video, I hope that you can replicate this work, for me I don't have the ability nor the equipment to do such a-thing. But All the best to you in your work / Buena Suerte en su trabajo!! From a Big city in California!!

Also for me a trip down memory lane as I have worked at Aixtron before, developing deposition machines for OLED production. Was a great time!

Enthusiasm and well voiced. I always wanted to learn what makes a clean room what it is and to work in lithography for futuristic displays and interferometry. Your work from seven months ago on Logic circuits of light also very neat.. .

Excellent! A brilliant detail, I like the explanation of "organic" - how could you keep your head away from jargon. I, being a chemist, would never think of explaining this term losing the listeners.

Thank you for your contributions. I have always been fascinated with LED’s and it’s technology since I was in high school in 82. It’s only the past year I’ve gotten back to basics with electronics again. How things have changed.

Oh WOW! How I wish YOU had been my chemistry/physics teacher at college. I feel like I learned more in the last 20mins than I did in a whole year at college. Thank you. Going to look at your other videos now and will most likely subscribe. Regards Mark in the UK

As much as I enjoyed the manufacturing process, I did enjoyed the theoretical explanations more as it took me back in time to my physical/organic chemistry class when I was a chemistry student.

When I cracked my phone screen, I saw the exact same degradation pattern - Over the course of a few days black regions slowly spread out from the regions that were damaged until the whole screen stopped working. It''s neat to be able to understand exactly why and how that happened!
