Overview

Experimental study demonstrates scalable fabrication of high-efficiency stretchable OLEDs via sacrificial-layer laser patterning, indicating viable manufacturing for free-form displays.

Key Points

  • To overcome substrate roughness and debris adhesion during laser patterning for scalable fabrication of high-performance stretchable OLEDs.
  • Implemented a sacrificial-layer-assisted laser patterning technique enabling lift-off removal of laser-generated residues.
  • Engineered low-roughness island–interconnector architectures using standard high-performance materials.
  • Evaluated device external quantum efficiency, cycling durability at 30% strain over 1000 cycles, and operational lifetime compared to rigid glass encapsulated OLEDs.
  • Achieved stretchable OLEDs with an external quantum efficiency exceeding 30%.
  • Demonstrated mechanical durability sustaining 30% stretchability over 1000 continuous cycles.
  • Yielded temporal luminance decay rates comparable to conventional encapsulated glass-based rigid counterparts.
