ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (OLED)

ABSRACT

Organic light emitting diodes operate on the principle of converting electrical energy
into light, a phenomenon known as electroluminescence. They consist of emissive
electroluminescent layer comprised of a film of organic compounds(Carbon, Hydrogen
and Oxygen).In its simplest form, an OLED consist of a layer of luminescent material
sandwiched between two electrodes when an electric current is passed between the
electrodes through the organic layer, light is emitted with a color that depends on the
particular material used.

When OLEDs are used as pixels in flat panel displays that have some
advantages over backlit active-matrix LCD displays-greater viewing angle, lighter weight
and quicker response. Since only the art of the display that is actually lit up consumes
power, the most efficient available today use less power

Based on these advantages OLEDs have been proposed for a wide range
of display applications including head- mounted computers, Digital cameras virtual
reality games, and mobile phones as well as medical, automotive, and other industrial
applications.
