Abstract

A double-sided display comprises a first organic light emitting device with a first transparent substrate, and the first organic light emitting device illuminates toward the first substrate. A second organic light emitting device with a second transparent substrate opposite to the first substrate, and the second organic light emitting device illuminates toward the second substrate. The first organic light emitting device is separated from the second organic light emitting device by a gap. A controller, coupled to the first and second organic light emitting devices, receives a control signal to individually switch the power of the first and second organic light emitting devices.

Claims (14)

1. A double-sided display, comprising

a first substrate;

a second substrate;

a first organic light emitting device, disposed on the first substrate, for illuminating toward the first substrate;

a second organic light emitting device, disposed on the second substrate, for illuminating toward the second substrate, wherein the first organic light emitting device is separated from the second organic light emitting device by a gap;

a first switch coupled to the first organic light emitting device for conducting a power supply to the first organic light emitting device;

a second switch coupled to the second organic light emitting device for conducting the power supply to the second organic light emitting device; and

a controller, coupled to the first and second switches, for individually controlling the first and second switches based on a control signal.

2. The double-sided display as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

an encapsulant filled between the first and second substrates and forming an isolated sealed space therebetween.

3. The double-sided display as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a software module for generating the control signal applied to the controller.

4. The double-sided display as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a hardware module for generating the control signal applied to the controller.

5. The double-sided display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second organic light emitting devices comprises an active matrix organic light emitting diode or a passive matrix organic light emitting diode.

6. The double-sided display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second organic light emitting devices comprises a side-by-side organic light emitting diode or a white organic light emitting diode.
