ELECTRODELESS ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE AND LCD SYSTEMS USING SAME

摘要

An electrodeless organic light-emitting device (10) and LCD systems using same are disclosed. The electrodeless organic light-emitting device (10) includes an organic light-emitting structure (200) with at least one organic light-emitting layer (250), and an illuminator (100) operably disposed to illuminate the organic light-emitting structure (200) with redirected light (114D). The redirected light (114D) causes the one or more organic light-emitting layers (250) to emit light (254), which constitutes the illumination from the organic light-emitting device (10). An LCD system includes the electrodeless organic light-emitting device (10) operably arranged relative to an LCD panel to receive the illumination (254). The organic light-emitting layer (250) can be segmented, with each segment emitting a primary color of light. The organic light-emitting layer segments are aligned with the cells of the LCD panel to define pixels for forming a display image. The LCD system can be configured to have a non-black background color when in the "off" state. Methods of forming illumination and display light are also disclosed.
