Organic Light Emitting Diodes: Devices and applications

Opto-electronic devices using organic materials are becoming widely desirable for manifold reasons [1-4]. In fact, organic devices have the potential for cost advantages over inorganic devices. In addition, inherent properties of organic materials, such as their flexibility make them well suited for particular applications such as fabrication on a flexible substrate. The materials used in organic light emitting devices involve one of two mechanisms in the electroluminescence produced (fluorescence versus phosphorescence). When properly stacked, these materials result in a device that can achieve the required high efficiency and long lifetime. Such red, green and blue devices can then be combined in matrices to become the core of a display. In general, facile fabrication of large areas is a requirement for the production of low-cost electronics. By increasing the doping level of materials, the barrier to charge carrier injection can be continuously reduced. The use of combinatorial devices allows scientists to quickly screen for the optimum doping level. This concept in organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices with hole or electron limited electroluminescence show that it is possible to significantly reduce the operating voltage while improving the light output and efficiency. Owing to the advantages of solid-state, self-emission, full color capability and flexibility, OLED has been recognized as one of the most promising flat panel display technology and has stepped into commercialization.

Structural Analysis of Enhanced Performance Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs

International Journal of Computer Networks and Communications Security, 2020

We present a detailed study on structure of Organic LEDs (OLEDs) that promise flexibility and enhanced performance. Ordinary LEDs fail when it comes to need of ultra-smart size, thin, flexible smart screens and high efficiency light sources. With electroluminescent layer made of organic compounds, OLEDs promise all such features. We did a comprehensive analysis to find what structural features distinguish OLEDs from semiconductor LEDs. We found that it is the special six layered structure with organic emissive layer and delocalized charges due to weak pi bonds that enable OLEDs to perform better. We discuss a few limitations related to production and life of these LEDs and suggest possible solutions to overcome these challenges. A rigorous, in-depth analysis of this structure is imperative to further comprehend the working of this device in order to make future devices cheaper and more efficient.

Organic Light Emitting Diode: Energy efficient material for sustainable green environment

Proceedings of National Conference RACSGSE-SBAP, 2017

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a light emitting diode (LED) constructed by using organic molecules that emits light in response to an electric current. The OLED are highly energy efficient material compared to conventional artificial light sources. The Organic light emitting diode emits light by emissive electroluminescent layer, a film of organic compound. The layer of organic semiconductor is situated between two electrodes in which at least one of the electrode is transparent. Major usage of OLED is in digital displays devices such as television screens, computer monitors, portable systems such as mobile phones, handheld game consoles and other displays. OLED have two main families: those based on small molecules and second class employ polymers as construction unit. The fundamental of OLED construction materials, energy efficiency of new OLED materials and application design has been discussed here.

A Brief Survey on Organic Light Emitting Diode

Asia Student Photonics Conference, 2016

Unlike the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology which is dependent on the backlight source, the organic light emitting diode (OLED) is able to emit the light from the smaller pixels. An OLED is a type of light emitting diode which is made up of thin film of organic molecules. It is typically formed with the organic layers (electron layer and hole transport layer) which is embedded between the two electrodes. In this paper, we discuss the operating principle of OLED to produce the light by the recombination of electrons and holes. We also describe the various types of OLED’s and the electrical equivalent model which can be used to design and test the OLED drivers. Finally, we compare the OLED’s with the existing display devices such as LED and LCD displays and focus on the future applications of the OLED displays.
