Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are thin, lightweight displays that emit light when electric current is passed through organic materials. OLEDs are used in devices like TVs, computer monitors, and smartphone displays. They operate based on the principle of electroluminescence and consist of a series of thin organic layers, including an emissive layer and conductive layers, sandwiched between a cathode and anode. Compared to LCDs, OLEDs provide brighter, clearer images with better viewing angles and require less power due to not needing backlights. However, OLEDs currently have shorter lifetimes and higher production costs than LCDs.

ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING Presented by:

DIODE (OLED) (025054) Originate from the class LEDs but with lower power consumption and combination of great colours. Work on the principle of electroluminescence: Optical & electrical phenomenon wherein certain materials emit light in response to an electric current passing through it. Are used to create digital displays in device such as TVs, computer monitors, smartphone displays etc. These diodes are about 100nm – 500nm thick, which are 200 times smaller than human hair. OLEDs are very expensive because they use ink-jet printing technology and sprays conductive polymer substances instead of ink. Bright & Clear Thin Light in weight Efficient viewing angle Require no backlight for functioning, reducing power consumption No mercury is required, eliminating disposal & pollution problems associated with the fluorescent lighting Lesser life time than LCDs Expensive and complex to fabricate Can be easily damaged by water, so extra protection is required • Cathode – Injects electrons when a current flows through the device. May be transparent or opaque, depending on the type of OLED. Materials used to build this layer are usually aluminium, barium, calcium, magnesium Emissive layer – made up of organic molecules which transport electrons from the cathode. One example polymer used is polyfluorene. Conductive layer – made up of organic plastic such as polyaniline which transport the holes from anode layer. Anode – a transparent layer which removes electrons or adds “holes” when a current flows through the device. Material for this layer is usually Indium tin oxide. Substrate – a thin sheet of glass or clear plastic with transparent conductive layer which supports the OLED structure. When power is applied to an OLED, the emissive layer becomes negatively charged and the conductive layer becomes positively charged. At the boundary between the emissive and the conductive layers, the electrons move from the negative emissive layer to the positive conductive layer, leading to a change in electrical levels and creating radiation that varies in frequency range of visible light. 1. PMOLED – Easy to fabricate and most efficient for small screens. Found in cellphones, MP3 players. 2. AMOLED – Consumes less power than PMOLEDs and efficient for large displays. Found in monitors, large screen TV, billboards. 3. Transparent OLED – Light-weight and portable. Found in heads-up display, glasses. 4. Foldable OLED – Light-weight and ultra thin. Can be used in building screen to reduce the possibility of breakage. 5. White OLED – Only emits white light. Can be used to replace fluorescent light, reducing the power consumption.
