Analysis of organic light emitting diode displays for avionics and military applications

This project will allow for Prof. Ian Hill, in the Physics and Atmospheric Science Department of DalhousieUniversity and Luxell Technologies Inc. to work together to address questions that Luxell has but does nothave the capabilities to answer. The data generated at Dalhousie University will assist Luxell in makingstrategic decisions. The goal of this project is to undertake the advanced analysis of different front edge OLEDdisplay materials to assess their ability to meet specifications for advanced avionics and military applications.Both rigid and flexible displays will be considered, and other materials would include high performanceorganic compounds. Given the novelty of these materials, different manufacturers report the specifications ofthe materials in different ways using different units of measure, which make a side-by-side comparison basedsolely on the manufacturers specifications impossible. Testing will include luminance, power efficiency,colour gamut, viewing angle dependence of luminance and/or colour purity, display lifetime, and possiblyaccelerated lifetime at elevated temperatures and/or humidity. The compatibility of these displays with Luxell'sproprietary manufacturing methods, and perhaps new methods suited specifically to OLED displays will be assessed.
