Multicolor organic light emitting devices
First Claim
1. A multicolor display, comprising:
- a plurality of multicolor light emitting device pixel structures arranged in rows and columns to provide a display surface with each pixel structure consisting of at least one multicolor light emitting device structure wherein each device structure comprises first, second and third light emitting devices (LED'"'"'s) stacked one upon the other to form a layered structure, with each LED separated by a transparent conductive layer, and whereby said display can be biased via said conductive layers to cause said multicolor light emitting devices to emit light when biased.

Abstract
A multicolor organic light emitting device employs vertically stacked layers of double heterostructure devices which are fabricated from organic compounds. The vertical stacked structure is formed on a glass base having a transparent coating of ITO or similar metal to provide a substrate. Deposited on the substrate is the vertical stacked arrangement of three double heterostructure devices, each fabricated from a suitable organic material. Stacking is implemented such that the double heterostructure with the longest wavelength is on the top of the stack. This constitutes the device emitting red light on the top with the device having the shortest wavelength, namely, the device emitting blue light, on the bottom of the stack. Located between the red and blue device structures is the green device structure. The devices are configured as stacked to provide a staircase profile whereby each device is separated from the other by a thin transparent conductive contact layer to enable light emanating from each of the devices to pass through the semitransparent contacts and through the lower device structures while further enabling each of the devices to receive a selective bias.

7. A multicolor, energizable, light emitting display comprising:
-
a plurality of energizable, light emitting structures; each of said structures comprising a plurality of transparent, light emitting devices (LED) that are stacked on each other; each of said LEDs in each of said structures being operative to emit a different color light when energized; and means for selectively energizing at least one of said LEDs in each of said structures so that the color produced by each of said light emitting structures is determined by which LED or LEDs in each light emitting structure is energized so that light emitted from said structures creates an image having a predetermined shape and color. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
