Summary presentation
Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) have been around for over 26 years and this technology has matured to the level that it can be found in several products such as displays for cameras and smart phones and as lighting panel for design light applications.
This presentation will give an overview of the technology behind OLED and how it differentiates from current technologies such as LCD and LED. Due to its unique set of properties it is already used as the display technology for all Samsung Galaxy smart phones. First OLED Televisions and lighting panels have entered the market. However, it will be shown that this is just the beginning. By applying OLEDs on flexible substrates such as plastic, unbreakable, flexible, bendable and even stretchable displays and lighting are feasible, opening up new possibilities going from using roll curtains as televisions to light-blankets for curing jaundice of baby’s.
