INTRODUCTION OLED-Organic Light Emitting Diode Organic-Organic materials Definition- Emissive electroluminescent layer is a film
of organic compounds which emits light in response to an electric current
Electroluminescent layer – organic semiconductor material is sandwiched between two electrodes
One of these electrodes is transparent
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Aluminum 8-hydroxyquinolinate - Alq3
Polyaniline
Polyfluorene
HISTORY
First developed in the early 1950’s in France by applying a high-voltage alternating current field to crystalline thin films of acridine orange and quinacrine
1960’s – AC – driven electroluminescent cells using doped anthracene was developed
The first diode device was invented at Eastman Kodak in the 1980’s by Dr. Ching Tang and Steven Van Slyke
1990 – electroluminescence in polymers was discovered
2000 - Alan J.Heeger & Hideki Shrikawa received Nobel Prize in chemistry for “The discovery and development of conductive organic polymer
2008 – announced the creation of consortium including Sony, Toshiba to produce OLED screen
Cathode Emissive Layer Conductive Layer Anode Substrate
How OLED works?
Architecture of OLEDs
o Conducting layer - This layer is made of organic plastic molecules that transport "holes" from the anode.
o Eg: polyaniline. Polystyrene.
o Emissive layer - This layer is made of organic molecules that transport electrons from the cathode; this is where light is made.
o Eg: polyfluorene, Alq3
Organic layers:
Cathode (may or may not be transparent depending on the type of OLED) - The cathode injects electrons when a current flows through the device
Eg: Mg, Al, Ba, and Ca • • Substrate - The substrate supports the OLED Eg: clear plastic, glass, foil Anode (transparent) - The anode removes electrons (adds electron holes) when a current flows through the device Eg: Indium Tin Oxide
1. Voltage applied across Cathode and Anode
1. Typically 2V-10V
2. Current flows from cathode to anode
1. Electrons flow to emissive layer
2. Electrons removed from conductive layer leaving holes
3. Holes jump into emissive layer
3. Electron and hole combine and light emitted
TYPES OF OLEDs
1. Passive-matrix OLED2. Active-matrix OLED3. Transparent OLED4. Top-emitting OLED5. Flexible/Foldable OLED6. White OLED7. Phosphorescent OLED
1. Passive-Matrix OLED (PMOLED)
Perpendicular cathode/anode strip orientation
Light emitted at intersection (pixels)
Large power consumption
Used on 1-3 inch screens
2. Active-Matrix OLED (AMOLED)
Full layers of cathode, anode, organic molecules
Thin Film Transistor matrix (TFT) on top of anode
Less power consumed then PMOLED
Used for larger displays
DIFFERENCE
Passive OLEDs• The organic layer is between
strips of cathode and anode that run perpendicular
• The intersections form the pixels• Easy to make• Use more power• Best for small screens
Active OLEDs• Full layers of cathode and
anode• Requires less power• Higher refresh rates• Suitable for large screens
3. Transparent OLED TOLED
Transparent substrate, cathode and anode
Bi-direction light emission Passive or Active Matrix
OLED Useful for heads-up
display Transparent projector
screen glasses
4. Top-emitting OLED (TEOLED)
Non-transparent Transparent Cathode Used with Active Matrix
Device Smart card displays
5. Foldable OLED
Flexiable metallic foil or plastic substrate
Light weight and ultra thin
Reduce display breaking
6. White OLED Emits bright white light Replace fluorescent lights Reduce energy cost for
lighting True Color Qualities Environmental friendly
7. Phosphorescent OLED
Use the principle of electroluminescence to convert 100% of electrical energy into light
Good energy efficiencies Reduce heat generation Operate at very low voltage Long operating life time Environmental friendly

ADVANTAGES OF OLEDs
Much faster response time Consume significantly less energy Wider viewing angles Thinner display Better contrast ratio Safer for the environment Has potential to be mass produced inexpensively OLEDs refresh almost 1,000 times faster then LCDs
OLED Displays Vs. LCD and Plasma
Cheaper way to create flexible lighting Requires less power Better quality of light New design concepts for interior lighting
OLED Lighting Vs. Incandescent and Fluorescent
ADVANTAGES
Brightness Contrast Viewing angles Power consumption Light weight Better power efficiency Response time
DISADVANTAGES OF OLEDs
OLED Displays Vs. LCD and Plasma
• Cost to manufacture is high
• Constraints with lifespan
• Easily damaged by water
• Limited market availability
OLED Lighting Vs. Incandescent and Fluorescent
• Not as easy as changing a light bulb
OLED DISADVANTAGES
Lifetime White, Red, Green 46,000-230,000 hours
About 5-25 years Blue 14,000 hours
About 1.6 years Expensive Susceptible to water
Future Uses for OLEDLighting• Flexible / bendable lighting• Wallpaper lighting defining new ways to light a space• Transparent lighting doubles as a window
