What is an OLED?
An OLED is a light emitting diode in
which organic layers are
responsible for light emission.
THE BASIC PRINCIPAL
Electroluminescence is a process in which a material emits light in
response to electrical field applied across it.

How do OLED emit light?
• A voltage is applied across the
anode and cathode.
• Current flows from cathode to anode
through the organic layer.
• Electrons are removed from
conductive layer leaving holes
• Holes jump in to emissive layer.
• Electron and holes combine and
emit light.
Types of OLEDs?
Active-matrix OLEDs
❏ Passive matrix OLEDs
Active-matrix OLEDs
• It employs active matrix in addressing pixels and uses a special type of thin
film technology.
• It is a display technology used in mobile devices, digital cameras,
media players and television.
• It consumes less power than Passive matrix OLEDs.
Passive-matrix OLEDs
• It refers to the arrangement of the driving electrodes in the OLED display .
• There is an array of horizontal and vertical conductors with the OLED
material between them.
• Cheaper arrangement then active-matrix OLEDs.
Advantages of OLEDs
1. Provides wider viewing angle(180 degrees).
2. Flexible
3. High brightness and contrast.
4. Fast response time.
Disadvantages of OLEDs
1. Short lifespan.
2. Costly as compared to LCD.
3. They are more prone to moisture damage.
Applications of OLEDs
Television Keyboards
Laptops Mobiles
CONCLUSION
Today we can summarize the situation of OLEDs displays as they have demonstrated
unrivalled and excellent performance in terms of image quality(contrast, colour etc).
Module-2
(Practical Project)
AIM
To show display on OLED display screen with the help of
ARDUINO BOARD and ARDUINO IDE software.
Components Required
Jumper Wires Arduino Uno board
128X64 Bread board
STEPS TO FOLLOW
STEP-1Fix the OLED display
screen on breadboard
and connect it with
Arduino UNO board.
CONNECTIONS
OLED screen Arduino board
VCC(power supply for display) 5V
GND(ground) GND
SDA(Serial data line) A4
SCK(Serial clock line) A5
Step-2 Connect Arduino with laptop by official Arduino
USB cable and install Arduino IDE software.
Data in port
STEP-3 In IDE software install library <Adafruit-SSD1306.h>.
Then write the code in arduino programming language which is called
sketch.
After coding, click on tools and select arduino uno and select the
port.
At last upload the code.
Importing library Selecting board and tools
OUTPUT
