Abstract

A self-charging organic electroluminescent display is disclosed. A solar cell and an organic electroluminescent device are installed on a same substrate or different substrates. Using the photoelectric conversion property of the solar cell, the solar energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in a battery. Therefore, the electrical energy converted from the solar energy can be provided for the organic electroluminescent device to emit light, forming a self-charging organic electroluminescent display module.

Claims (9)

1. A self-charging organic electroluminescent display module, comprising:

a common substrate;

at least one solar cell formed on the common substrate;

an opaque insulating layer formed on the solar cell; and

an organic electroluminescent device formed on the opaque insulating layer;

wherein the solar cell provides necessary electrical power for the organic electroluminescent device to function and the common substrate, the solar cell, and the organic electroluminescent device are packaged together.

2. The self-charging organic electroluminescent display module of claim 1 , further comprising a common cover corresponding to the locations of the solar cell and the organic electroluminescent device, wherein a packaging adhesive is employed to combine the common substrate and the common cover.

3. The self-charging organic electroluminescent display module of claim 1 , wherein the solar cell is an inorganic solar cell.

4. The self-charging organic electroluminescent display module of claim 1 , wherein the solar cell is an inorganic solar cell.
