OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is a display technology for use in mobile devices and televisions. OLED describes a specific type of thin-film display technology in which organic compounds form the electroluminescent material.
INTRODUCTION
4
HOW OLED WORKS?• Injects electrons
Cathode
• polyflourene
Emissive Layer
• polyaniline
Conductive Layer
• Removes electrons
Anode
• Clear plastic
Substrate
5
HOW OLED WORKS?Voltage applied across cathode and anode• Typically 2v-10v
Current flows from cathode to anode
• Electrons flow to emissive layer• Electrons removed from conductive layer
leaving holes• Holes jump into emissive layer
Electron and hole combine and light emitted
6
HOW OLED WORKS?
Different colours• Type of organic molecule in the
emissive layer • 3 molecules used –RGB
Intensity / Brightness• Amount of current
7
HOW OLED WORKS?
8
Passive Matrix OLEDPerpendicular cathode/anode strip orientation
Light emitted at intersection (pixels)
External circuitry• Turns on/off pixels
Large power consumption
9
Active Matrix OLEDFull layers of cathode, anode, organic molecules
Thin Film Transistor matrix (TFT) on top of anode• Internal circuitry to determine which
pixels to turn on/off
Less power consumed then Passive Matrix OLED• Used for larger displays
10
Advantages over LEDs & LCDs• Thinner, lighter and more flexible
• Plastic substrates rather then glass
• High resolution (<5um pixel size) and fast switching (1-10um)
• Do not require backlight, light generated
• Low voltage, low power and emissive source
• Robust Design (Plastic Substrate)
• Brighter- good daylight visibility
• Larger viewing angles -170o
11
Advantages over LEDs & LCDs
12
Advantages over LCDs•The power consumption of the OLED panel is only dependent on the pixels that are lit in the images.
•OLEDs have dynamic power consumption when displaying different images.
•LCD with backlights consumes essentially constant power disregarding the images that are displayed.
13
Advantages over LCDs
14
APPLICATIONSTransparent OLED
• Only have transparent components (substrate, cathode and anode)
• When turned off, are up to 85 percent as transparent as their substrate.
• When turned on, it allows light to pass in both directions.
15
APPLICATIONSFoldable OLED
• substrates made of very flexible metallic foils or plastics.
• Very lightweight and durable reduces breakage.
• Attached to fabrics to create "smart" clothing, such as outdoor survival clothing.
16
White OLED
• White OLEDs emit white light that is brighter, more uniform and more energy efficient than that emitted by fluorescent lights.
• It can replace fluorescent lights that are currently used in homes and buildings.
APPLICATIONS
17
CHALLENGES• blue organics have much shorter lifetimes
• Expensive
• Susceptible to water
• Overcome multi-billion dollar LCD market
18
Conclusions
Expensive
Flexibility and thinness will enable many applications
OLED will replace current LED and LCD technologies
Integrated touch OLED display will be potential competitive item.
A good candidate of green solution for display.
