Water stable and matrix addressable OLED fiber textiles for wearable displays with large emission area

Abstract Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) fibers with favorable electroluminescence properties and interconnectable pixel configurations have represented the potential for wearable electronic textile displays. Nevertheless, current technology of OLED fiber-based displays still leaves to be desired due several challenges, including limited emission area lack encapsulation systems. Here we present a fibrous display that can attain large long-term stability by implementing addressable networks comprised integrated phosphorescence designing multilayer encapsulations. The fiber configuration offers decoupled functional surfaces an 1-dimensional array data-addressing conductor. Tailored triadic metal/ultrathin oxide/polymer enables not only oxygen/water permeation inhibition but also controllable conductive channels dielectric antifuses. Together reliable bending stability, operation textiles in water manifests feasibility device concept toward water-resistant full-emitting-area
