OLED: A GREAT BREAKTHROUGH IN DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY

OLED: A GREAT BREAKTHROUGH IN DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT: Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) operate on the principle of converting electrical energy into light, a phenomenon known as electroluminescence. They exploit the properties of certain organic materials which emit light when an electric current passes through them. In its simplest form, an OLED consists of a layer of this luminescent material sandwiched between two electrodes. When an electric current is passed between the electrodes, through the organic layer, light is emitted with a color that depends on the particular material used. In order to observe the light emitted by an OLED, at least one of the electrodes must be transparent. Organic EL is obtained simply by placing a charge-transporting and light-emitting organic material between two electrodes (one of which is transparent) and applying a suitable bias. The organic material may be either a polymer, deposited by various solution processing techniques, or low molecular weight molecules (commonly called small molecules), deposited by evaporation or sublimation in vacuum. Total device thickness (excluding the substrate) is less than 1 micron. When biased, charge is injected into the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) at the anode (positive), and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) at the cathode (negative), and these injected charges (referred to as holes and electrons, respectively) migrate in the applied field until two charges of opposite polarity encounter each other, at which point they annihilate and produce a radiative state.
Are you tired of slow modem connections? Cellonics Incorporated has developed new technology that may end this and other communications problems forever. The new modulation and demodulation technology is called Cellonics. In general, this technology will allow for modem speeds that are 1,000 times faster than our present modems. The development is based on the way biological cells communicate with each other and nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS). Major telcos, which are telecommunications companies, will benefit from the incredible speed, simplicity, and robustness of this new technology, as well as individual users. In current technology, the ASCII uses a combination of ones and zeros to display a single letter of the alphabet (Cellonics, 2001). Then the data is sent over radio frequency cycle to its destination where it is then decoded. The original technology also utilizes carrier signals as a reference which uses hundreds of wave cycles before a decoder can decide on the bit value (Legard, 2001), whether the bit is a one or a zero, in order to translate that into a single character.
