Grade A Organic Light Emitting Diode
Application of Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) for Display Systems:
Advanced Characteristics and Possible Solutions to Challenges
1. Introduction
The first organic light emitting diode (OLED), which was an innovatory of electroluminescence that emits light using organic materials, was reported in 1987 (Tang & VanSlyke, 1987). OLED displays are constructed by surrounding a glass or plastic substrate with organic compounds that emit light when current passes through them (Askari, 2014). Continuous research and development in the field of organic electronics improved the performance of OLED display systems by exploring the potential efficient materials as well as fabrication techniques (Naithani, Mandamparabil, Fledderus, Schaubrieck, & Steenberge, 2014). However, further investigation of solutions to the major hurdles in mass manufacturing of large-scale OLED display systems such as the high production cost and limited lifetime should be executed to meet the demand for commercialization of OLED displays in the future. Therefore, this paper will first provide the latest technological advancements of OLED in recent years, followed by the explanation of solutions to the potential challenges in mass manufacturing of OLED displays.
2. Advanced characteristics of OLED display systems
OLED displays have inherent flexibility as the organic molecule polyethylene terephthalate (PET) can be produced on flexible substrates (Tsuwaki et al., 2014). Its capability of being malleable results in the possibility to fabricate flexible OLEDs for novel applications, such as clothing or fabrics embedded with roll-up displays (Askari, 2014). This innovatory characteristic of OLED display systems has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of organic electronics.
In recent years, display systems using OLEDs are developed to have generally higher performance than the dominant liquid crystal display (LCD). OLED display systems give better viewing experience to
