Introduction
Uses organic light emitting diode(OLED).
Emerging Technology for displays in devices.
Main principle behind OLED technology is
electroluminescence.
Offers brighter, thinner, high contrast, flexible
displays.
What is an OLED?
OLEDs are solid state devices composed of thin films
of organic molecules that is100 to 500 nanometres
thick.
They emits light with the application of electricity.
They doesn’t require any backlight. i.e., they are self
emitting.
They are made from carbon and hydrogen.
History
The first OLED device was developed by Eastman
Kodak in 1987.
In 1996, pioneer produces the world’s first commercial
PMOLED.
In 2000, many companies like Motorola, LG etc
developed various displays.
In 2001, Sony developed world’s largest fullcolor
OLED.
History (contd.)
In 2002, approximately 3.5 million passive matrix
OLED sub-displays were sold, and over 10 million
were sold in 2003.
In 2010 and 2011, many companies announced
AMOLED displays.
Many developments had take place in the year 2012.
Features
Flexibility.
Emissive Technology.
Light weight and thin.
Low power consumption.
High contrast, brighter and perfect display from all
angles.

Colour Generation
Different approaches for fabricating red, green and
blue pixels.
- Red, green and blue individual pixels.
- White emitter and colour filters.
- Blue emitter and colour converters.
- Stacked OLED
Colour Generation(figure)
Working Principle
A voltage is applied across the anode and cathode.
Current flows from cathode to anode through the organic
layers.
Electrons flow to emissive layer from the cathode.
Electrons are removed from conductive layer leaving holes.
Holes jump into emissive layer .
Electron and hole combine and light emitted.

Types of OLED
Six types of OLEDs
Passive matrix OLED(PMOLED).
Active matrix OLED(AMOLED).
Transparent OLED(TOLED).
Top emitting OLED.
Flexible OLED(FOLED).
White OLED(WOLED).
OLED Advantages
Thinner, lighter and more flexible.
Do not require backlighting like LCDs.
Can be made to larger sizes.
Large fields of view, about 170 degrees.
Faster response time.
Brighter.
High resolution, <5μm pixel size.
OLED Disadvantages
Expensive.
Lifespan.
Water damage.
Colour balance issues .
Applications
Major applications of OLED technology are
OLED TV.
Mobile phones with OLED screens.
Rolltop Laptop.
Conclusion
Organic Light Emitting Diodes are evolving as the next
generation displays.
As OLED display technology matures, it will be better
able to improve upon certain existing limitations of
LCD including
high power consumption
limited viewing angles
poor contrast ratios.
