Abstract

Studies of combinatorial fabrication and screening of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are reviewed. These studies include screening of luminescent materials, electron and hole transport layers, lower-gap emitting guest dopants in small molecular emitters, and electronically doped polymeric anodes. The review focuses on screening of 2-dimensional (2-d) small molecular UV/violet arrays, 1-d blue-to-red arrays, and 1-d intense white OLED libraries, and briefly describes arrays fabricated to study Förster energy transfer in guest-host OLEDs. It demonstrates that combinatorial fabrication of OLEDs has become a powerful tool for screening OLED materials and configurations, and for studying their basic properties.
