1
IP Status: PCT Pending; Application number PCT/US2022/044322
Fully 3D-printed OLED displays have been fabricated.
Applications
- Rapidly prototype and fabricate OLED displays
- Manufacture displays with novel morphologies and configurations
Technology Overview
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a novel method to fully fabricate active electronic devices, including OLED displays, entirely on a 3D printer. By combining extrusion and spray-printing techniques, a multimodal printing methodology was developed to successfully fabricate flexible OLED displays. This novel 3D printing approach allows for the rapid fabrication of OLED displays with novel morphologies without the need for microfabrication facilities.
