Organic Light Emitting Diode

Introduction
Imagine having high-definition TV
8O inches wide
less than a quarter inch thick
consume less power &
can be rolled up when u are not
using
Is it possible??
Yes, it is possible by using OLED technology

Organic Light Emitting Diode

Before technologies
In this field first came the small LED displays (which can
show only the numeric contents)
Then came heavy jumbo CRTs ,which are used till now.
the problem is they are very heavy, bulky, couldnt carry
them form one place to other place.
Next to CRTs LCDs came into existence. which are lighter in
weight compare to CRTs. the drawback in LCDs is the
efficient result is obtained only in some particular
directions.

What is 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.

Organic Light Emitting Diode

Birth of OLED
First successfully created by Ching
Tang and Steve Van Slyke in 1987 at
Kodak Labs.
First tests very efficient, simple to
make
Showed potential for displays

History
First developed in the early

1950sinFrance
1960sACdriven
electroluminescent cells was
developed
In 1987 Chin Tang and Van
Slyke introduced the first light
emitting diodes from thin
organiclayers.
In 1990 electroluminescence in
polymerswasdiscovered.

Anode(transparent):The anode
removes electrons (adds
electron "holes") when a
current flows through the
device.

Organiclayer:
o

Conducting layerThis layer is made


of organic plastic molecules that
transport "holes" from the anode. One
conducting polymer used in OLEDs is
polyaniline.

EmissivelayerThislayerismadeof
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.
