1 OLED Organic Light Emitting Diodes Rachel Ericson MIS 304 March 2, 2009

2 What Is OLED? Organic Light Emitting Diodes Organic Light Emitting Diodes Paper thin organic material that illuminates light with small electric charge. Paper thin organic material that illuminates light with small electric charge. Organic because the emitting layers are made up of organic compounds. Organic because the emitting layers are made up of organic compounds. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and others Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and others

3 How Does OLED Work? Organic chemicals are burned onto thin layers of glass. Organic chemicals are burned onto thin layers of glass. Five layers are then sandwiched together. Five layers are then sandwiched together. The molecules react and get “excited” and illuminate! The molecules react and get “excited” and illuminate!

4 How is OLED Used Today? TVs TVs Monitors Monitors Cell Phone Screens Cell Phone Screens Lighting Lighting
