Abstract :
In this paper, we present a novel design of an OLED system that is integrated with a mechanical energy harvesting polymer film and energy storage polymer film (patent pending). The system is configured in multiple stacked layers to form a thin, flexible, and light-weight assembly, for applications in energy harvesting displays, electronic papers, touch-input-pads, novel packaging, and much more. Initial results on the energy storage characteristics of the polymer film, the performance of a polyfluorene based OLED, and discussions on the mechanical energy transduction are presented.
