Chemistry Seminar - New Materials for OLED Display
Development of new phosphorescent emitter materials for Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display and lighting applicationsDr. Tommie RoysterCEO & FounderR-Display and Lighting, LLCAbstract:Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology has transitioned from the research laboratory to a position of broad application for display and lighting consumer electronics. Currently, high-end smart phones predominately incorporate OLED display screens to take advantage of superior imaging capability. High efficiency phosphorescent emitter materials incorporated in OLED devices have enabled the market penetration, specifically red and green emitters. Commercial phosphorescent blue emitter materials presents a technology and market gap due to material stability problems under device operation. Therefore, less efficient blue fluorescent emitters are required for commercial applications. This technology gap establishes a great opportunity for innovative start-up companies. R-Display & Lighting is primarily focused on delivering highly efficient and device-stable blue emitter materials to the OLED industry. Within the presentation, fundamental principles of OLED technology will be covered, in addition to critical aspects of operating a chemical based startup company.Speaker Bio:Tommie L. Royster received his doctorate degree in Inorganic/Organometallic Chemistry from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has over 20 years of experience in technology development starting his career at Eastman Kodak Company (EKC). His work over the years has focused on development of electronic materials and thin-film device fabrication processes. The last 7 years of his tenure at EKC were spent directing and managing OLED product development as part of the OLED Display Business Unit. Dr. Royster has been a significant contributor to the advancement of OLED and other electronic materials with a publication portfolio that includes 30 U.S. patents and patent applications. He founded R-Display & Lighting in 2012 to further advance OLED material technology however full-time operation did not begin until 2013. As the CEO, Dr. Royster leverages his OLED material development experience to direct and lead the company to deliver advanced emitter materials for the growing OLED industry markets.
