An organic polymer based display and method for making the same. The display is constructed on a flexible sheet having first and second surfaces, the first and second surfaces being parallel to one another. The flexible sheet is transparent to light of a first wavelength. A first electrode, which includes a first electrode layer in contact with the first surface, is deposited on the flexible sheet. The first electrode layer is also transparent to light of the first wavelength. A light-emitting layer that includes an organic polymer is deposited on the electrode layer. A second electrode that includes a second electrode layer in contact with the light emitting layer is deposited on the light-emitting layer. The light emitting layer generates light of the first wavelength when a potential difference is applied across the first and second electrodes. A light conversion layer is deposited in contact with the second surface of the flexible sheet. The light conversion layer absorbs light of the first wavelength and emitting light of a second wavelength. In an addressable pixelated display, the light conversion layer and one of the first or second electrodes are patterned as parallel strips overlying one another. |
