 What is an OLED ?
OLED - Organic Light Emitting
Diode

An OLED is a light emitting

diode (LED) which emissive
electroluminescent layer is
composed of a film of organic
compounds.
 HISTORY
• First developed in the early 1950s in France.
• 1960s-AC-driven electroluminescent cells using doped
anthracene was developed.
• In 1987 Chin Tang and Van Slyke introduced the first
light emitting diodes from thin organic layers.
• In1990 electroluminescence in polymers was
discovered.
ARCHITECTURE OF OLED
• SUBSTRATE.

• ANODE

• ORGANIC LAYER:
1-Conductive layer
2-Emmisive layer

• CATHODE.
 TYPES OF OLED
Passive OLEDs
• The organic layer is between cathode
& anode run perpendicular.

• The intersections
form the pixels.

• Easy to make.

• Use more power.

• Best for small screens.

Active OLEDs
• Full layers of cathode and
anode.

• Anode over lays a thin film

transistor (TFT).

• Requires less power.

• Higher refresh rates.

• Suitable for large screens

 APPLICATION OF OLED
• Televisions
• SONY
• LG transparent TV

• Cell Phone screens

• Wrist Watch
• Computer Screens
• Laptops
• Desktops

• Bendable Devices
• Portable Device displays
• Philips Go Gear MP3 Player
 ADVANTAGES
• Faster response time than LCDs
• Consume significantly less energy
• Can be transparent when off
• Flexible and Conformal Displays
• Thinner display-No backlight required
• Better contrast ratio
• Safer for the environment
• Wider viewing angles; up to 170 degrees
• OLEDs refresh almost 1,000 times faster
then LCDs
• Low cost materials and fabrication method
• Less Expensive than LCD due to lesser
components
• Can be made using plastic screens; LCDs
require glass backing
 DISADVANTAGES
OLED seems to be the perfect technology for all
types of displays, but it also has some problems:

• Lifetime - While red and green OLED films have

longer lifetimes (46,000 to 230,000 hours), blue
organics currently have much shorter lifetimes (up
to around 14,000 hours)
• Manufacturing - Currently, manufacturing is
more expensive than LCDs
• Water - Water can easily damage OLEDs
• OLED screens are even worse than LCD in
direct sunlight
• Overall luminance degradation
• Limited market availability
FUTURE USES FOR OLED
 Manufacturers focusing on
finding a cheap way to
produce.

 "Roll-to-Roll"
Manufacturing.

 Increasing efficiency of
blue luminance.

 Boosting overall lifespan

FUTURE USES FOR OLED
 Data glass
 GPS system
 OLED – in future cars
 Curved OLED displays, placed on non-flat surfaces
 And many more we cannot even imagine today

YOUR PATIENCE
• Electroluminescence (EL) is an optical 
phenomenon and electrical phenomenon in 
which a material emits light in response to 
an electric current passed through it, or to a 
strong electric field
• A pixel (or picture element) is the smallest item
of information in an image
 A thin-film transistor (TFT) is a special kind
of field-effect transistor made by depositing thin
films of a semiconductor active layer.
 The refresh rate is the number of times in a second that
display hardware draws the data it is being given

ROLL TO ROLL PRINTING

•The flexible OLED element capable of being produced using

roll-to-roll printing technology.
•The ROLLED project under European researchers coordinated
by VTT.
FAST RESPONSE TIME
OLED LCD

Fast response time means full motion graphics can be

displayed
CONSTANT CONTRAST RATIO
• Wide viewing angle.
SONY PSP2 CONCEPT
• Oled rollable display.

A flexible OLED display that

can be rolled around the main
electronics core but, when
charged, automatically
stiffens with minimal bezel
surround.
BENDABLE OLED DISPLAY

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology is threatening

the Liquid Crystal Display, or LCD, standard because of its
flexibility, low power consumption and versatility.
OLED DATA GLASS
Developed by Students at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany
A pair of interactive data eyeglasses that can project an image
onto the retina from an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) micro-
display, making the image appear as if it's a meter in front of the wearer.
Similar headwear only throws up a static image,
Just the movement of the eyeball, to scroll through information.
