    JOURNAL OF DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY, VOL. 12, NO. 6, JUNE 2016 605 Grid Optimization of Large-Area OLED Lighting Panel Electrodes Haoning Tang, Yibin Jiang, Ching Wan Tang, and Hoi-Sing Kwok, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—Luminance loss resulting from potential drop on the transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode due to its relatively high resistivity is one of the most essential issues in the design of large-area organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting panels. One solution is to pattern metal grid with low sheet resistance on the ITO electrode. However, the shape, height, and width of the metal grid element have a great influence on the final luminance uniformity of the device. In this paper, a method is proposed to op- timize these parameters in order to get the best luminance unifor- mity for large-area OLED lighting panels. The method takes two grid geometry parameters—height and width—into account and predicts the highest relative luminance by finite element method simulations under different operating voltages.

  • THE KEY VOL 8 NO 3 JUN 1891.Pdf
    THE KEY. VoL. VIII. JUNE, 1891. No.3. THE PAN-HELLENIC CONVENTION. BosTON, Mass., April 16-17, 1891. WEDNESDAY afternoon, April 15, the Kappa Kappa Gammas of . Boston University ushered in this most auspicious Convention by an informal tea to delegates, visitors and fraternity women of Boston. The spirit of the occasion was contagious ; the interest aroused by the arrival of delegates, the desire to inspect strange badges and the pleasure afforded by the opportunity of meeting fraternity women known long by name through the various magazines, having created an enthusiasm that would be neither suppressed nor controlled. The earnestness and sinceri­ ity of the young women present was at once apparent, each face in itself inviting study and making of the whole a body evidently capable of any­ thing undertaken ; and the Convention, so pleasantly inaugurated, meant just that : its delegates were representative college women who by reason of their ability and preeminently because of their fitness by training for leadership are destined to be the leaders among women. A spirit of hearty good will prevailed everywhere and a courtesy for difference of opinion that was as noticeable as gratifying ; but the differ­ ences were found not so many or so great as might be expected. It was re!!dily seen that theground upon which fraternity is based is not the exclu­ sive property of any one fraternity organization but is held in common, and that on this ground the delegates had met and from it they would consider the topics of interest to all and the evils common to the fraternity system.
