Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Guided By : Prof. S.M.Rajput


What is an OLED?

● An OLED is an electronic device made by


placing a series of organic thin films 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 Emit Light
● 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.
