INTRODUCTION
These all devices may be possible in the
near future with the help of a technology
called Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.
What is an OLED?

 An OLED is any 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.
Cathode - The cathode injects electrons
into emissive layer.

Emissive layer - This layer is made of

polyfluorene that transport electrons
from the cathode. This is where light is
made.

Conducting layer - This layer is made of

polyaniline that transport "holes" from
the anode.

Anode – It is kept transparent.

Usually made up of Indium tin oxide (ITO)
that removes electrons.

Substrate - The substrate supports the

OLED.
How it works?
Types of OLEDs
Passive-matrix OLED
Active-matrix OLED
Transparent OLED
Top-emitting OLED
Foldable OLED
White OLED
 Passive Matrix

 The organic layers are

between strips of cathode
and anode.

 The intersections form the

pixels.

 Easy to make

 Uses more power

Active-matrix OLED

 Full layers of cathode and

anode.

 Anode overlays a thin film

transistor (TFT).

 Requires less power

 Higher refresh rates

 Transparent OLEDs

 Transparent OLEDs have only

transparent components
(substrate, cathode and anode)

 When turned off, are up to 85

percent as transparent as their
substrate.
 Top emitting OLEDs Foldable OLED

 Top-emitting OLEDs have a  Foldable OLEDs have substrates made of very

substrate that is reflective. flexible metallic foils or plastics.
 White OLED

 White OLEDs emit white light

that is brighter, more uniform
and more energy efficient.
Why it’s so great?

 Less power consumption

 Lower cost in the future
 Flexible Display
 Thin display
 Safer for environment
Better contrast ratio
Wider Viewing Angle
Major Drawbacks

Lifespan
Easily damageable
Outdoor performance
Complex fabrication methods
OLED VS OTHERS
 Future Aspects
 Finding a cheap way to produce
 “Roll-To-Roll” Manufacturing
 Increasing efficiency of blue OLED
 Increasing Lifespan of OLED
Corporation in OLED’s
