Tianma's NFB and PSF: New OLED Technologies for Brighter, More Efficient Displays

Tianma's new OLED materials NFB and PSF boost efficiency, reduce power use, and prolong screen life. NFB is the world's first fluorescent blue tech for OLEDs, while PSF improves green emission.

Tianma Microelectronics has unveiled a new generation of OLED materials that merge two technologies: NFB, or New Fluorescent Blue, and an updated version of PSF, which stands for Phosphorescent Sensitized Fluorescence. Tianma claims NFB is the world's first technology of its kind for fluorescent blue light.

The primary goal of NFB is to boost the efficiency of blue OLED emission, which has long been one of the toughest obstacles in OLED panel development. Tianma employs a two-layer blue emitting material designed to cut wasted energy, reduce power draw, and prolong screen life. The company also highlights a hardware-based reduction in blue light output, aiming to make displays easier on the eyes.

The new-generation PSF technology handles more efficient energy delivery and produces high-purity green light. Tianma says it has advanced in resolving a chronic issue with green OLED materials, where high efficiency typically comes at the cost of stability.
