OLED

OLED is the abbreviation for organic luminous diode (in English Organic Light Emitting Diode). It is a very thin panel, the shape of which is flexibly adaptable to surfaces and can thus save both space and energy. The difference to the normal LED lies on the one hand in the materials used, since organic semiconductor materials are used for OLEDS and these are therefore recyclable, whereas conventional inorganic are. On the other hand, production is different. This is cheaper at OLEDs and you get a kind of flexible solid paper.

This new type of light -emitting diode works with the help of very fine layers of molecules (the SMOLED) and long -chain polymers (the poled) through which the current flows and that lies between two large electrodes - this is a kind of sandwich. The electrodes and the positive charge carriers then hike into the middle and recombinate there.

So far, OLEDs have been used primarily for screens such as those of smartphones, tablets, televisions or also for flexible screens. You will also be used in large space lighting. However, research on the OLED has not yet been completed and it is still being worked on on the further development, because LEDs are already as new, so OLED are even more innovative.
