OLEDs are the screens of the future. With less energy and costs they are able to replace old applications and allow new applications.
OLEDs are electronic devices produced by placing a series of organic thin films
between two electrodes. If an electrical current is applied, a bright light is
emitted. Since organic light emitting
diodes (OLED) based were discovered in 1987
the interest in this work increased rapidly. The advantages of OLEDs are impossible
to overlook. OLEDs are ultra-thin, very light and energy-saving. They provide a
fuller viewing angle, a brighter picture and cause less production costs than liquid
crystal systems. Many new applications are already in their development stages.
First fixed mass-produced OLEDs are already being used as colored graphic displays,
not just in cameras and car radios but also in mobile phones. As flexible OLEDs
they will allow even further applications.
