Abstract. Whole device printing is presented for realizing full colour displays with red (R), green (G) and blue (B) organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this process, the whole OLED structure is transferred from a patterned mould to a glass substrate. Therefore, a simple step and repeat of the transfer of each of R, G and B OLED for RGB pixels completes the fabrication of the full colour display over a given area. A difference in the work of adhesion at two interfaces enables the transfer. A 'rigiflex' mould is used for the printing. It is rigid enough to allow sub-100 nm resolution and yet flexible enough for intimate contact with the glass substrate, which permits large area application.
