A Study of Accelerated Life Test of White OLED Based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation Using Lognormal Distribution

In this paper, accelerated life tests of white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) are conducted to obtain failure data at normal operation conditions. The lognormal distribution function was applied to describe WOLED life distribution. Log mean and log standard deviation were determined by maximum likelihood estimation. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was performed, and the results further confirmed that WOLED life met the lognormal distribution. Numerical results indicated that WOLED life followed the lognormal distribution. It was also found that the acceleration model was consistent with inverse power law.
