    Oled : Organic Light Emitting Diode

    OLED (organic light emitting diode) is a light emitting diode that uses organic compounds that emit light when electric current is applied. OLEDs were first developed in the 1950s but modern OLEDs were introduced in 1987. OLEDs have an organic emissive electroluminescent layer sandwiched between a cathode and anode layer. There are two main types - passive and active OLEDs. Current research is focused on improving efficiency and lifespan. OLEDs are being used in TVs, phones, keyboards, and other portable displays due to their thinness, viewing angle, and ability to display true black. Future uses include transparent and flexible lighting and displays.

    What is an OLED?
    OLED - Organic Light Emitting Diode
    An OLED is any light emitting diode (LED) which emissive electroluminescent layer is composed of a film of organic

    compounds.

    History of OLEDs
    First developed in the early 1950s in France Early technology would emmite a short burst of light when a voltage was applied This early form applied high-voltage alternating current field to crystalline thin films of acridine orange and quinacrine. 1960s - AC-driven electroluminescent cells using doped anthracene was developed In a 1977 paper, Shirakawa et al. Reported high conductivity in similarly oxidized and iodine-doped polyacetylene. In 1987 Chin Tang and Van Slyke introduced the first light emitting diodes from thin organic layers. In 1990 electroluminescence in polymers was discovered.

    Architecture of OLEDs
    Substrate (clear plastic, glass, foil) - The substrate supports the OLED. Anode (transparent) - The anode removes electrons (adds electron "holes") when a current flows through the device. Organic layer: o Conducting layer - This layer is made of organic plastic molecules that transport "holes" from the anode. One conducting polymer used in OLEDs is polyaniline. o Emissive layer - This layer is made of organic plastic molecules (different ones from the conducting layer) that transport electrons from the cathode; this is where light is made. One polymer used in the emissive layer is polyfluorene. Cathode (may or may not be transparent depending on the type of OLED) The cathode injects electrons when a current flows through the device.

    Types of OLEDs
    Passive OLEDs The organic layer is between strips of cathode and anode that 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

    Current Research for OLEDs


    Manufacturers focusing on finding a cheap way to produce o "Roll-to-Roll" Manufacturing Increasing efficiency of blue luminance

    Boosting overall lifespan

    Applications of OLEDs
    TVs Cell Phone screens Computer Screens Keyboards (Optimus Maximus) Lights Portable Divice displays

    OLEDs as a Light Source

    OLED Televisions

    Optimus Maximus Keyboard


    Small OLED screen on every key 113 OLED screens total Each key can be programmed to preform a series of functions Keys can be linked to applications Display notes, numerals, special symbols, HTML codes, etc... SD card slot for storing settings

    Advantages of OLEDs
    OLED Displays Vs. LCD and Plasma Much faster response time Consume significantly less energy Able to display "True Black" picture Wider viewing angles Thinner display Better contrast ratio Safer for the environment Has potential to be mass produced inexpensively OLEDs refresh almost 1,000 times faster then LCDs OLED Lighting Vs. Incandescent and Fluorescent Cheaper way to create flexible lighting Requires less power Better quality of light (ie. no "Cold Light") New design concepts for interior lighting

    Disadvantages of OLEDs
    OLED Displays Vs. LCD and Plasma Cost to manufacture is high Overall luminance degradation Constraints with lifespan Easily damaged by water Limited market availability

    OLED Lighting Vs. Incandescent and Fluorescent Not as easy as changing a light bulb
