Abstract
Addressing the limitations of conventional inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in flexible visible light communication (VLC) applications, this study investigates the feasibility of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an integrated platform for illumination, display, and communication. The optoelectronic characteristics and modulation bandwidth of red, green, and blue (RGB) OLEDs were systematically measured. Based on the experimental data, a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) VLC system employing non-return-to-zero on-off keying (NRZ-OOK) modulation was constructed in simulation software for validation. The results indicate stable optoelectronic performance for all three primary-color OLEDs, with a maximum modulation bandwidth of 466 kHz achieved for the blue device. The system simulation demonstrates stable parallel transmission of three independent data channels, attaining a minimum bit error rate (BER) as low as 3.74×10-35 achieved for the green device. This work confirms the potential of OLEDs for emerging communication applications such as flexible displays and wearable devices.
