A method for manufacturing and grading OLED devices is described,
comprising the steps of: a) manufacturing OLED devices having a plurality
of pixels; b) measuring pixel brightness and uniformity variation of each
of the OLED devices prior to burning-in the OLED devices; c) correcting
the pixel brightness and uniformity variation of each of the OLED devices
prior to burning-in the OLED devices; d) grading each of the corrected
OLED devices prior to burning-in the OLED devices; e) burning-in OLED
devices graded as acceptable prior to burning-in the OLED devices; f)
measuring burned-in pixel brightness and uniformity variation of each of
the burned-in OLED devices; g) re-correcting the pixel brightness and
uniformity variation of each of the burned-in OLED devices; and h)
grading each of the re-corrected, burned-in OLED devices. The present
invention has the advantage of providing improved yields in manufacture
of OLED displays having acceptable uniformity and thereby reducing the
cost of manufacturing an OLED display.
