What Is OLED? • Organic Light Emitting Diodes • Paper thin organic material that illuminates light with small electric charge. • Organic because the emitting layers are made up of organic compounds. • Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and others
How Does OLED Work? • Organic chemicals are burned onto thin layers of glass. • Five layers are then sandwiched together. • The molecules react and get “excited” and illuminate!
How is OLED Used Today? • TVs • Monitors • Cell Phone Screens • Lighting
Benefits of OLED • Replace Old TV screens that contain mercury. • Incredibly vibrant, clear, and sharp display! • Clear display from 180º • Thinner then a credit card! • Energy efficient, uses significantly less energy to run • Infinite future possibilities!
Issues with OLED • Production costs • Availability of materials • Short life
Lighting! Chandeliers, desk lamps Uniform lighting! Flexible/thin (low shipping cost) Wallpaper that illuminates Blinds/window shades that illuminate Bike lights Future of TVs and monitors http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcAm3KihFho Future of OLED
