OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is a solid-state lighting technology that uses thin films of organic compounds that emit light when electric current is applied. OLEDs do not require backlighting, can be made to be flexible and lightweight, and have high contrast ratios. The basic structure consists of an anode, organic layers including a conductive layer and emissive layer, and a cathode. When voltage is applied, electrons flow through the organic layers and combine with holes to emit photons that produce light. Major applications of OLEDs include use in TVs, mobile phone displays, and flexible screens.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Uses organic light emitting diode(OLED).
• Main principle behind OLED technology is
electroluminescence.
4. WHAT IS AN OLED?
• OLEDs are solid state devices composed of thin films of
organic molecules that is 100 to 500 nanometres thick.
• They don’t require any backlight. i.e., they are self emitting.
• They are organic because they are made from compounds
of carbon and hydrogen .
8. WORKING PRINCIPLE
• A voltage is applied across the anode and cathode.
• Current flows from cathode to anode through the organic layers.
• Electrons flow to emissive layer from the cathode.
• Electrons are removed from conductive layer leaving holes.
• Holes jump into emissive layer .
• Electron and hole combine and light emitted.
12. OLED DEPOSITION
• Organic layers can be applied to the substrate using the
following methods.
- Evaporation and shadow masking.
- Inkjet printing.
- Organic vapor phase deposition.
13. COLOUR GENERATION
• Different approaches for fabricating red, green and blue
pixels.
- Red, green and blue individual pixels.
- White emitter and colour filters.
- Blue emitter and colour converters.
- Stacked OLED
