 What the Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode
Consist of :
The Top Layer is the Cathode layer
made of tungsten releases electrons
when current is run through it.

Emissive Layer removes electrons from

the cathode layer to make light.

Conductive layer is made from a type of

organic plastic that removes the
electron wholes

Then the Anode Layer that consist of

removing and adding electron holes
while the current is running through it
and is made from graphite particles

Followed by the Substrate layer is used

to support the Organic LED and is made
up of glass, clear plastic
 Some Advantages of Using Organic LED’s

The Flexible Organic LED is easily mass produced because of its unique
ability to be printed out on Ink Jet printers and sometimes Screen Printing
Technologies.

The enable people to see a wide ranged of colors and sit from almost any
angle without degrading the picture quality even at 90 degree angles.

It also has the unique ability to use less energy because of how its made up
and has better response time than other LED’s.

The problem of the longevity of the Organic LED has been over come by
adding a thin sheet of metal in with it.
