OLED Explained

The short answer is Organic Light Emitting Diode – OLED, and Organic Liquid Crystal Diode – OLCD.

An OLED, LEP – light emitting polymer, or OEL – organic electro luminescence, is any light emitting diode, as in LED display.

These LED devices are composed of a layer of organic compounds such as polymer substances that allow deposits of suitable organic compounds. Layers are built in rows and columns on a flat device, such as a TV or Computer screen, which result in a combined matrix of pixels that emit coloured light.

OLED devices emit less light per area than non-organic based devices which tend to be used as light sources. OLED devices are typically tv screens, computer screens, mobile phones and PDAs.

The most important benefit of an OLED displays over traditional liquid crystal displays, LCD, is that an OLED display doesn’t require a backlight. This in turn results in lower power consumption and are therefore more eco friendly.
