1.INTRODUCTION
An OLED(organic light-emitting diode) is a light-emitting diode (LED) in which
the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film oforganic compound which emits
light in response to an electric current. This layer of organic semiconductoris
situated between two electrodes. Generally, at least one of these electrodes is
transparent. OLEDs are used to create digital displays in devices such as
television screens, computer monitors, portable systems such as mobile
phones, handheld games consoles and PDAs.
An OLED display consists of very thin sandwiched layers of materials. When an
electric current is supplied, the negatively charged electrons in the cathode layermove through the organic substances towards the positively charged anode
layer. The reverse happens from the anode's side, as positively charged
electrons are drawn towards the cathode leaving holes in the conductive
material. These positively charged holes jump to the organic material to
recombine with electrons, which causes electroluminescent light. The chemical
composition of the organic material dictates which colors of light are produced

Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) offer great promise in displays of all sizes
and shapes, and in both commercial and home lighting solutions. OLEDs, ororganic electro-luminescent (OEL) devices as some call them, are already in use
as mobile device displays and mobile phone displays. Prototype large screen
and HD OLED televisions always draw the eye away from any other model
regardless of its size. In addition OLED technology lends itself to innovative solid-
state lighting, as well as flexible lighting solutions and flexible displays, even
displays based on organic TFTs.

OLED-A provides a forum for the interchange of technical and market
information. Our membership includes companies involved in small-molecule
OLED technology and polymer technology (PLED or light-emitting polymers).OLED-A serves its membership by fostering the more rapid development of
OLED technology and OLED products; serving as a resource on OLED markets
and products for media and investors; functioning as a catalyst in the
development of standards for OLEDs; and providing a forum to promote and
market OLED technology products.
OLEDs are used in television screens, computer monitors, small, portable
system screens such as mobile phones and PDAs, watches, advertising,
information, and indication. OLEDs are also used in light sources for space
illumination and in large-area light-emitting elements. Due to their early stage ofdevelopment, they typically emit less light per unit area than inorganic solid-state
based LED point-light sources.
There are two main families of OLEDs: those based on small molecules and
those employing polymers. Adding mobile ions to an OLED creates a light-
emitting electrochemical cell or LEC, which has a slightly different mode of
operation. OLED displays can use eitherpassive-matrix (PMOLED) oractive-
matrix addressing schemes. Active-matrix OLEDs (AMOLED) require a thin-film
transistorbackplane to switch each individual pixel on or off, but allow for higher
resolution and larger display sizes.
An OLED display works without a backlight. Thus, it can display deep black
levels and can be thinner and lighter than a liquid crystal display (LCD). In low
ambient light conditions such as a dark room an OLED screen can achieve a
highercontrast ratio than an LCD, whether the LCD uses cold cathode
fluorescent lamps orLED backlight.

2.HISTORY OF OLED DISPLAY
Fig.2.Sony XEL-1, the world's first OLED TV.
The first observations ofelectroluminescence in organic materials were in the
early 1950s by Andr Bernanose and co-workers at the Nancy-Universit,
France. They applied high-voltage alternating current (AC) fields in air to
materials such as acridine orange, either deposited on or dissolved in cellulose
or cellophane thin films. The proposed mechanism was either direct excitation of
the dye molecules or excitation of electrons.
In 1960, Martin Pope and co-workers at New York University developed ohmic
dark-injecting electrode contacts to organic crystals.They further described the
necessary energetic requirements (work functions) for hole and electron injecting
electrode contacts. These contacts are the basis of charge injection in all modern
OLED devices. Pope's group also first observed direct current (DC)
electroluminescence under vacuum on a pure single crystal ofanthracene and
on anthracene crystals doped with tetracene in 1963using a small area silver
electrode at 400 V. The proposed mechanism was field-accelerated electron
excitation of molecular fluorescence.
Pope's group reported in 1965that in the absence of an external electric field, the
electroluminescence in anthracene crystals is caused by the recombination of a
thermalized electron and hole, and that the conducting level of anthracene is
higher in energy than the exciton energy level. Also in 1965, W. Helfrich and W.
G. Schneider of the National Research Council in Canada produced double
injection recombination electroluminescence for the first time in an anthracene

single crystal using hole and electron injecting electrodes, the forerunner of
modern double injection devices. In the same year, Dow Chemical researchers
patented a method of preparing electroluminescent cells using high voltage(5001500 V) AC-driven (1003000 Hz) electrically insulated one millimetre thin
layers of a melted phosphor consisting of ground anthracene powder, tetracene,
and graphite powder. Their proposed mechanism involved electronic excitation at
the contacts between the graphite particles and the anthracene molecules.
Device performance was limited by the poor electrical conductivity of
contemporary organic materials. This was overcome by the discovery and
development of highly conductive polymers.
Electroluminescence from polymer films was first observed by Roger Partridge at
the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom. The device consisted of
a film of poly(n-vinylcarbazole) up to 2.2 micrometres thick located between two
charge injecting electrodes. The results of the project were patented in 1975and
published in 1983.
The first diode device was reported at Eastman Kodak by Ching W.
Tang and Steven Van Slyke in 1987.This device used a novel two-layer structure
with separate hole transporting and electron transporting layers such that
recombination and light emission occurred in the middle of the organic layer. This
resulted in a reduction in operating voltage and improvements in efficiency and
led to the current era of OLED research and device production.
Research into polymer electroluminescence culminated in 1990 with J. H.
Burroughes et al. at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge reporting a high
efficiency green light-emitting polymer based device using 100 nm thick films
ofpoly(p-phenylenevinylene).

3.OLED Components
FIG.3. OLED structure
Like an LED, an OLED is a solid-state semiconductordevice that is 100 to 500
nanometers thick or about 200 times smaller than a human hair. OLEDs can
have either two layers or three layers of organic material; in the latter design, the
third layer helps transport electrons from the cathode to the emissive layer. In
this article, we'll be focusing on the two-layer design.
An OLED consists of the following parts:
Substrate (clear plastic, glass, foil) - The substrate supports the OLED.
Anode (transparent) The anode removes electrons (adds electron "holes")
when a current flows through the device.
Organic layers - These layers are made of organic molecules or polymers.

Conducting layer - This layer is made of organic plastic molecules that transport
"holes" from the anode. One conducting polymer used in OLEDs is polyaniline.
Emissive layer - This layer is made of organic plastic molecules (different ones
from the conducting layer) that transport electrons from the cathode; this is where
light is made. One polymer used in the emissive layer is polyfluorene.
Cathode (may or may not be transparent depending on the type of OLED) - The
cathode injects electrons when a current flows through the device.
The biggest part of manufacturing OLEDs is applying the organic layers to the
substrate. This can be done in three ways:
Vacuum deposition or vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE) - In a vacuum
chamber, the organic molecules are gently heated (evaporated) and allowed to
condense as thin films onto cooled substrates. This process is expensive and
inefficient.
Organic vapor phase deposition (OVPD) - In a low-pressure, hot-walled reactor
chamber, a carrier gas transports evaporated organic molecules onto cooled
substrates, where they condense into thin films. Using a carrier gas increases the
efficiency and reduces the cost of making OLEDs.
Inkjet printing - With inkjet technology, OLEDs are sprayed onto substrates just
like inks are sprayed onto paper during printing. Inkjet technology greatly reduces
the cost of OLED manufacturing and allows OLEDs to be printed onto very largefilms for large displays like 80-inch TV screens or electronic billboards.

4.How do OLEDs Emit Light?
FIG.4. OLED creating light
OLEDs emit light in a similar manner to LEDs, through a process
calledelectrophosphorescence.
The process is as follows:
The battery or power supply of the device containing the OLED applies a voltageacross the OLED.
An electrical current flows from the cathode to the anode through the organic
layers (an electrical current is a flow of electrons). The cathode gives electrons to
the emissive layer of organic molecules. The anode removes electrons from the
conductive layer of organic molecules. (This is the equivalent to giving electron
holes to the conductive layer.)

At the boundary between the emissive and the conductive layers, electrons find
electron holes. When an electron finds an electron hole, the electron fills the hole
(it falls into an energy level of the atom that's missing an electron). When thishappens, the electron gives up energy in the form of a photon of light (see How
Light Works).
The OLED emits light.
The color of the light depends on the type of organic molecule in the emissive
layer. Manufacturers place several types of organic films on the same OLED to
make color displays.
The intensity or brightness of the light depends on the amount of electrical
current applied: the more current, the brighter the light.

A typical OLED is composed of a layer of organic materials situated between two
electrodes, the anodeand cathode, all deposited on a substrate. The organic

have conductivity levels ranging from insulators to conductors, and therefore are
considered organic semiconductors. The highest occupied and lowest
unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) of organic semiconductorsare analogous to the valence and conduction bands of inorganic semiconductors.
Originally, the most basic polymer OLEDs consisted of a single organic layer.
One example was the first light-emitting device synthesized by J. H. Burroughs et
al., which involved a single layer ofpoly(p-phenylene vinylene). However
multilayer OLEDs can be fabricated with two or more layers in order to improve
device efficiency. As well as conductive properties, different materials may be
chosen to aid charge injection at electrodes by providing a more gradual
electronic profile, or block a charge from reaching the opposite electrode and
being wasted.Many modern OLEDs incorporate a simple bilayer structure,consisting of a conductive layer and an emissive layer. More recent
developments in OLED architecture improves quantum efficiency (up to 19%) by
using a graded heterojunction. In the graded heterojunction architecture, the
composition of hole and electron-transport materials varies continuously within
the emissive layer with a dopant emitter. The graded heterojunction architecture
combines the benefits of both conventional architectures by improving charge
injection while simultaneously balancing charge transport within the emissive
region.
During operation, a voltage is applied across the OLED such that the anode ispositive with respect to the cathode. A current ofelectrons flows through the
device from cathode to anode, as electrons are injected into the LUMO of the
organic layer at the cathode and withdrawn from the HOMO at the anode. This
latter process may also be described as the injection ofelectron holes into the
HOMO. Electrostatic forces bring the electrons and the holes towards each other
and they recombine forming an exciton, a bound state of the electron and hole.
This happens closer to the emissive layer, because in organic semiconductors
holes are generally more mobile than electrons. The decay of this excited state
results in a relaxation of the energy levels of the electron, accompanied by
emission ofradiation whose frequency is in the visible region. The frequency of
this radiation depends on the band gap of the material, in this case the difference
in energy between the HOMO and LUMO.
As electrons and holes are fermions with half integerspin, an exciton may either
be in a singlet state or a triplet state depending on how the spins of the electron
and hole have been combined. Statistically three triplet excitons will be formed

for each singlet exciton. Decay from triplet states (phosphorescence) is spin
forbidden, increasing the timescale of the transition and limiting the internal
efficiency of fluorescent devices. Phosphorescent organic light-emittingdiodes make use ofspinorbit interactions to facilitate intersystem
crossing between singlet and triplet states, thus obtaining emission from both
singlet and triplet states and improving the internal efficiency.
Indium tin oxide (ITO) is commonly used as the anode material. It is transparent
to visible light and has a high work function which promotes injection of holes into
the HOMO level of the organic layer. A typical conductive layer may consist
ofPEDOT:PSSas the HOMO level of this material generally lies between the
workfunction of ITO and the HOMO of other commonly used polymers, reducing
the energy barriers for hole injection. Metals such as barium and calcium areoften used for the cathode as they have low work functionswhich promote
injection of electrons into the LUMO of the organic layer. Such metals are
reactive, so they require a capping layer ofaluminium to avoid degradation.
Single carrier devices are typically used to study the kinetics and charge
transport mechanisms of an organic material and can be useful when trying to
study energy transfer processes. As current through the device is composed of
only one type of charge carrier, either electrons or holes, recombination does not
occur and no light is emitted. For example, electron only devices can be obtained
by replacing ITO with a lower work function metal which increases the energybarrier of hole injection. Similarly, hole only devices can be made by using a
cathode comprised solely of aluminium, resulting in an energy barrier too large
for efficient electron injection.

Small molecules
FIG.6.structure ofAlq3
Efficient OLEDs using small molecules were first developed by Dr. Ching W.
Tang et al. at Eastman Kodak. The term OLED traditionally refers specifically tothis type of device, though the term SM-OLED is also in use.
Molecules commonly used in OLEDs include organometallic chelates (for
example Alq3, used in the organic light-emitting device reported by Tang et al.),
fluorescent and phosphorescent dyes and conjugated dendrimers. A number of
materials are used for their charge transport properties, for
example triphenylamine and derivatives are commonly used as materials for hole
transport layers. Fluorescent dyes can be chosen to obtain light emission at
different wavelengths, and compounds such
as perylene, rubrene and quinacridone derivatives are often used.[30]
Alq3 hasbeen used as a green emitter, electron transport material and as a host for yellow
and red emitting dyes.
The production of small molecule devices and displays usually involves thermal
evaporation in a vacuum. This makes the production process more expensive
and of limited use for large-area devices than other processing techniques.
However, contrary to polymer-based devices, the vacuum deposition process

enables the formation of well controlled, homogeneous films, and the
construction of very complex multi-layer structures. This high flexibility in layer
design, enabling distinct charge transport and charge blocking layers to beformed, is the main reason for the high efficiencies of the small molecule OLEDs.
Coherent emission from a laser dye-doped tandem SM-OLED device, excited in
the pulsed regime, has been demonstrated. The emission is nearly diffraction
limited with a spectral width similar to that of broadband dye lasers.
Polymer light-emitting diodes
FIG.7. poly(p-phenylenevinylene
Polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED), also light-emitting polymers (LEP), involve
an electroluminescent conductive polymerthat emits light when connected to an
external voltage. They are used as a thin film forfull-spectrum colour displays.
Polymer OLEDs are quite efficient and require a relatively small amount of power
for the amount of light produced.
Vacuum deposition is not a suitable method for forming thin films of polymers.
However, polymers can be processed in solution, and spin coatingis a common
method of depositing thin polymer films. This method is more suited to forming
large-area films than thermal evaporation. No vacuum is required, and the
emissive materials can also be applied on the substrate by a technique derived
from commercial inkjet printing.However, as the application of subsequent layers

thermal evaporation in vacuum. An alternative method to vacuum deposition is to
deposit a Langmuir-Blodgett film.
Typical polymers used in PLED displays include derivatives ofpoly(p-
phenylenevinylene) and polyfluorene. Substitution of side chains onto the
polymer backbone may determine the colour of emitted light or the stability and
solubility of the polymer for performance and ease of processing.
While unsubstitutedpoly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) is typically insoluble, a
number of PPVs and related poly(naphthalene vinylene)s (PNVs) that are soluble
in organic solvents or water have been prepared via ring opening metathesis
polymerization.
Phosphorescent materials
FIG.8. Ir(mppy)3, a phosphorescent dopant which emits green light.
Phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes use the principle of electro
phosphorescence to convert electrical energy in an OLED into light in a highly
efficient manner, with the internal quantum efficiencies of such devices
approaching 100%.
Typically, a polymer such as poly(n-vinylcarbazole) is used as a host material to
which an organometallic complex is added as a dopant. Iridium complexessuchas Ir(mppy)3are currently the focus of research, although complexes based on
other heavy metals such as platinumhave also been used.
The heavy metal atom at the centre of these complexes exhibits strong spin-orbit
coupling, facilitating intersystem crossing between singlet andtriplet states. By
using these phosphorescent materials, both singlet and triplet excitons will be
able to decay radiatively, hence improving the internal quantum efficiency of the

device compared to a standard PLED where only the singlet states will contribute
to emission of light.
Applications of OLEDs in solid state lighting require the achievement of high
brightness with good CIE coordinates (for white emission). The use of
macromolecular species like polyhedral oligomericsilsesquioxanes (POSS) in
conjunction with the use of phosphorescent species such as Ir for printed OLEDs
have exhibited brightnesses as high as 10,000 cd/m2.

FIG.12. Passive-matrix OLED
PMOLED means Passive Matrix Organic light emitting diode. Like the first LCDs
to be commercialized, the first OLEDs to reach the marketplace in the late 1990s
used a passivematrix drive configuration. Passive-matrix OLEDs are particularly
well suited for small-area display applications, such as cell phones and
automotive audio applications. Universal Display Corporations PHOLED
materials and technology are currently incorporated in a commercialpassive-
matrix OLED display product that is manufactured and sold by Pioneer Tohoku
Corporation for use in a cell phone product (shown above) and under evaluation
for a number of other products. Universal Display Corporation has designed and
fabricated several passive matrix OLED prototypes to demonstrate the
performance of its PHOLED technology and materials. The prototype shown here
is a 128 x 64 pixel display built on a glass substrate usingour green and redPHOLED materials system.
OLED displays are activated through a current driving method that relies on
either a passive-matrix (PM) or an active-matrix (AM) scheme. In a
PMOLEDdisplay, a matrix of electrically-conducting rows and columns forms a
-
7/28/2019 Seminar Reprt1
18/36
OLED DISPLAY
BBDNIIT P a g e | 18
two-dimensional array of picture elements called pixels. Sandwiched between the
orthogonal column and row lines, thin films of organic material are activated to
emit light by applying electrical signals to designated row and column lines. Themore current that is applied, the brighter the pixel becomes. For a full image,
each row of the display must be charged for 1/N of the frame time needed to
scan the entire display, where N is the number of rows in the display. For
example, to achieve a 100-row display image with brightness of 100 nits, the
pixels must be driven to the equivalent of an instantaneous brightness of 10,000
nits for 1/100 of the entire frame time.
While PMOLEDs are fairly simple structures to design and fabricate, they
demand relatively expensive, current-sourced drive electronics to operate
effectively. In addition, their power consumption is significantly higher than that
required by a continuous charge mode in an active-matrix OLED. When
PMOLEDs are pulsed with very high drive currents over a short duty cycle, they
do not typically operate at their intrinsic peak efficiency. These inefficiencies
come from the characteristics of the diode itself, as well as power losses in the
row lines. Power analyses have shown that PMOLED displays are most practical
in sizes smaller than 2to 3 in diagonal, or having less than approximately 100row lines. PMOLEDs make great sense for many such display applications,
including cell phones, MP3 players and portable games.

FIG.13. Active-matrix OLED
Active-matrix OLED displays provide the same beautiful video-rate performance
as their passive-matrix OLED counterparts, but they consume significantly less
power. This advantage makes active-matrix OLEDs especially well suited for
portable electronics where battery power consumption is critical and for displays
that are larger than 2 to 3 in diagonal, as shown in this ultra -thin Sony prototype
above.
An active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display consists of OLED pixels that have
been deposited or integrated onto a thin film transistor (TFT) array to form a
matrix of pixels that illuminate light upon electrical activation. In contrast to a
PMOLED display, where electricity is distributed row by row, the active-matrix
TFT backplane acts as an array of switches that control the amount of current
flowing through each OLED pixel. The TFT array continuously controlsthe current
that flows to the pixels, signaling to each pixel how brightly to shine. Typically,
this continuous current flow is controlled by at least two TFTs at each pixel, one
to start and stop the charging of a storage capacitor and the second to provide a
voltage source at the level needed to create a constant current to the pixel. As a

result, the AMOLED operates at all times (i.e., for the entire frame scan),
avoiding the need for the very high currents required for passive matrix
operation.
Stacked OLEDs
Stacked OLEDs use a pixel architecture that stacks the red, green, and blue
subpixels on top of one another instead of next to one another, leading to
substantial increase ingamut and color depth, and greatly reducing pixel gap.
Currently, other display technologies have the RGB (and RGBW) pixels mapped
next to each other decreasing potential resolution.
Inverted OLED
In contrast to a conventional OLED, in which the anode is placed on the
substrate, an Inverted OLED uses a bottom cathode that can be connected to the
drain end of an n-channel TFT especially for the low cost amorphous silicon TFT
backplane useful in the manufacturing ofAMOLED displays..
6.5.White OLED
White OLEDs emit white light that is brighter, more uniform and more energy
efficient than that emitted by fluorescent lights. White OLEDs also have the true-
color qualities ofincandescent lighting. Because OLEDs can be made in large
sheets, they can replace fluorescent lights that are currently used in homes and
buildings. Their use could potentially reduce energy costs for lighting.
In the next section, we'll discuss the pros and cons of OLED technology and how
it compares to regular LED and LCD technology.

Wider viewing angles & improved brightness
FIG.14. Comparision between viewing angle of OLED and LCD
OLEDs can enable a greater artificial contrast ratio (both dynamic range and
static, measured in purely dark conditions) and viewing angle compared to LCDs
because OLED pixels directly emit light. OLED pixel colours appear correct and
unshifted, even as the viewing angle approaches 90 from normal.

8.DISADVANTAGES
Current costs
OLED manufacture currently requires process steps that make it extremely
expensive. Specifically, it requires the use of Low-Temperature Polysilicon
backplanes; LTPS backplanes in turn require laser annealing from an amorphous
silicon start, so this part of the manufacturing process for AMOLEDs starts with
the process costs of standard LCD, and then adds an expensive, time-
consuming process that cannot currently be used on large-area glass substrates.
Lifespan
The biggest technical problem for OLEDs was the limited lifetime of the organic
materials. In particular, blue OLEDs historically have had a lifetime of around
14,000 hours to half original brightness (five years at 8 hours a day) when used
for flat-panel displays. This is lower than the typical lifetime of LCD, LED
orPDP technologyeach currently rated for about 25,00040,000 hours to half
brightness, depending on manufacturer and model. However, some
manufacturers' displays aim to increase the lifespan of OLED displays, pushing
their expected life past that of LCD displays by improving light outcoupling, thus
achieving the same brightness at a lower drive current. In 2007, experimental
OLEDs were created which can sustain 400 cd/m2 ofluminance for over 198,000
hours for green OLEDs and 62,000 hours for blue OLEDs.
Color balance issues
Additionally, as the OLED material used to produce blue light degrades
significantly more rapidly than the materials that produce other colors, blue light
output will decrease relative to the other colors of light. This variation in the
differential color output will change the color balance of the display and is much
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_displayhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminancehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminancehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_display -

26/36
OLED DISPLAY
BBDNIIT P a g e | 26
more noticeable than a decrease in overall luminance.This can be partially
avoided by adjusting colour balance but this may require advanced control
circuits and interaction with the user, which is unacceptable for some users.Morecommonly, though, manufacturers optimize the size of the R, G and B subpixels
to reduce the current density through the subpixel in order to equalize lifetime at
full luminance. For example, a blue subpixel may be 100% larger than the green
subpixel. The red subpixel may be 10% smaller than the green.
Efficiency of blue OLEDs
Improvements to the efficiency and lifetime of blue OLEDs is vital to the success
of OLEDs as replacements for LCD technology. Considerable research has been
invested in developing blue OLEDs with high external quantum efficiency as well
as a deeper blue color. External quantum efficiency values of 20% and 19% have
been reported for red (625 nm) and green (530 nm) diodes,
respectively. However, blue diodes (430 nm) have only been able to achieve
maximum external quantum efficiencies in the range of 4% to 6%.
Water damage
Water can damage the organic materials of the displays. Therefore, improved
sealing processes are important for practical manufacturing. Water damage mayespecially limit the longevity of more flexible displays.
Outdoor performance
-
7/28/2019 Seminar Reprt1
27/36
OLED DISPLAY
BBDNIIT P a g e | 27
As an emissive display technology, OLEDs rely completely upon converting
electricity to light, unlike most LCDs which are to some extent reflective; e-
ink leads the way in efficiency with ~ 33% ambient light reflectivity, enabling the
display to be used without any internal light source. The metallic cathode in an
OLED acts as a mirror, with reflectance approaching 80%, leading to poor
readability in bright ambient light such as outdoors. However, with the proper
application of a circular polarizer and anti-reflective coatings, the diffuse
reflectance can be reduced to less than 0.1%. With 10,000fcincident illumination
(typical test condition for simulating outdoor illumination), that yields an
approximate photopic contrast of 5:1.
Power consumption
While an OLED will consume around 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an
image which is primarily black, for the majority of images it will consume 6080%
of the power of an LCD: however it can use over three times as much power to
display an image with a white background such as a document or website.This
can lead to reduced real-world battery life in mobile devices when whitebackgrounds are used

OLED technology is used in commercial applications such as displays for mobile

others. Such portable applications favor the high light output of OLEDs for
readability in sunlight and their low power drain. Portable displays are also used
intermittently, so the lower lifespan of organic displays is less of an issue.
Prototypes have been made of flexible and rollable displays which use OLEDs'
unique characteristics. Applications in flexible signs and lighting are also beingdeveloped. Philips Lightinghave made OLED lighting samples under the brand

10.2.Military Application
FIG.20.THE NEAR EYE
MICRODISPLAY
Low-power Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays are used in a growing
numbers of applications supporting dismounted soldiers and commanders in
situational awareness, thermal imaging, simulation and training. Two types of
OLED applications are currently under various phases of maturation the near-
eye microdisplays, developed by eMagin and Flexible OLED developed by
Universal Display Corp. (UDC).
OLED technology promises to revolutionize everything known about information
display, from video walls, to dynamic pricing in supermarkets. For the military,
Top-emitting OLED (TOLED) applications could include wrist-mounted,
featherweight, rugged PDAs and wearable electronic displays such as "display
sleeves" Other applications could be conformed, high-contrast automotive
instrument panels, windshield displays and visor mounted displays to be used by
for pilots, drivers and divers, etc. More futuristic applications could be utilized in
camouflage systems, "smart" light emitting windows/shades etc.
Until 2005, OLEDs were used primarily for testing. Yet, in 2004 and mostly by
2005, this technology is being integrated in more military systems and on the
long run is expected to replace most small form-factor LCD displays. Among the
applications where OLED technology is already maturing are near-eye displays
of virtual images When projected on a head mounted, helmet mounted or visor
(see-through) display, such image appears like an image in a movie theater or on
a computer monitor, but is created using magnifying optics from a very small
display near to the eye. Such an image displayed with very high resolution, can

appear solid and real, or made see-through depending on the type optics used.
Military and industrial customers are moving from the testing and evaluationphase into deployment. According to Kenneth Geyer, vice president of
development at Liteye Systems Inc, the company has ordered OLEDs in
production quantities, to supply orders received from military users in the USA,
Europe and Australia. Several systems have also been deployed to war fighters
in Iraq. "We anticipate additional programs moving into deployment phases in
2006 - 2007" said Geyer. Other users of OLED displays include SaabTech,

signal system with OLED display not only can provide good man-machine
interface, and adapt to the harsh outdoor environment, but also can achieve
multi-phase and multi-time control of traffic flow. The intelligent traffic signal
system with OLED display uses the ARM9 as processor, so a scientific algorithm
can be embedded in it to carry out effective control of traffic flow.

FIG.21. Source of Lighting That Evenly Illuminates Wide Surface Areas
Until now, spaces have been illuminated by point or linear light sources, such as
incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent lamps. OLED lighting, in contrast, has
characteristics not found in conventional lighting, emitting a uniform light from thewhole surface, over a large area. Moreover, OLED lighting closely resembles
natural light. Not only that, it does not include ultraviolet rays, which reduces
negative impact on the eye.

FIG.22.Lightweight, Thin, Flexible OLED Lighting Has Multiple Potential
Applications
With OLED lighting, the light source itself illuminates a wide area evenly. This
makes it possible to have an entire ceiling or wall serve as an illumination device.Moreover, if plastic film is used for the substrate base, then flexibly curved
lighting becomes a real possibility in the future. OLED lighting offers greater
potential for applications, including revolutionary design of indoor lighting and
new applications in interior spaces, illumination inside vehicles and aircraft, novel
monuments and artworks, and other exciting lighting options.
11. CONCLUSION
From above discussion we conclude that it is a field of rapid development in near
future. With the development in various technology this not only reduce the price
but also improve the quality of the display screen As it use organic chemical
which found in abundance , it reduce the problem of pollution . Organic molecule
and polymer have short life span, also they are bio degradable.

Organic light emitting diode will also improve the efficiency of the electronic
screen. It has more efficient than the LCD, LED and CRT. It has more brightness
and contrast ratio as compare with other type of screen. In future we not onlyuse this in screen technology but also use as illumination, it will replace LED,
bulb, CFL completely because of the inexpensive device and greater efficiency.
It will also open the exciting field of flexible screen which find even more use in
the near future. The screen which can foldable will find great use in TV,
wallpaper display, advertizing board etc. Also military use of this technology
will find it attractive.
But from the current technology OLED find several hurdle in its path such as
high cost of production, short life span of the organic compound , fading effect ,
low brightness ratio and differential power consumption for different colures etc
.
With the development of the technology the problems in field of the organic light
emitting diode will be resolve and. OLED will find greater use in near future .
