Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were first reported in the 1970s by a Kodak scientist, with color improvements in the late 1980s. OLEDs use organic chemicals that emit light in response to electricity, making them lighter and more power efficient than traditional displays. While similar to LEDs which also emit light when electricity passes through, OLEDs use organic materials rather than inorganic semiconductors.

Background

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)


Kodak scientist Dr. Ching (1970s)
OLED materials reported in 1987
Color improvements by 1989
Becoming a major competetor with todays
LCD/plasma displays

OLED/LED: Whats the diff?

Both OLED and LED use the same principle of


electroluminescence- the optical and electrical
phenomenon where certain materials emit light
in response to an electric current passing
through it.
OLED
Lighter

weight
Perform at lower efficiencies
Less power consumption
Organic based chemicals
