Understanding Organic Light Emitting Diodes

This document discusses organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). It begins with an explanation of what an OLED is, describing it as a thin film of organic material that emits light when electric current is applied. It then covers the structure of OLEDs, how they operate by flowing current through organic layers which causes light emission, and the types including passive matrix, active matrix, transparent, top-emitting, flexible and white OLEDs. The document lists advantages such as thinness, brightness, low power consumption and ease of production, and disadvantages like vulnerability to fluids and lifetime issues. It concludes with examples of OLED use in devices like phones, TVs and watches.

What is an OLED?
An OLED is an electronic device that contains
thin film containing organic compound between
two conductors. When electrical current is
applied, a bright light is emitted.

A device that is 100 to 500 nanometers thick or


about 200 times smaller than a human hair.

The OLED Structure

How OLEDs Operate
The battery or power supply of the
device containing the OLED applies a
voltage across the OLED.

An electrical current flows from the


cathode to the anode through the organic
layers. (an electrical current is a flow
of electrons)

At the boundary between the emissive


and the conductive layers, electrons find
electron holes.

The OLED emits light.
