Press Release Summary: OLED become a major player in the display Industry 2009
Organic light emiting diode made up of semi-conductor device which is around 400
nanometers think.Its electroluminescent layer is made up of organic compounds which
results emittion of light of different colors.

Press Release Body:
The first OLED was Developed in Korea approximately around 1980\'s.They are made up
of following parts:

1]Substrate
Its made up of Glass,foil and plastic and is used to support the OLED.

Anode It adds electron holes or in technical term it removes the electrons when a
current flows through the device.
3]organic layers
These layers are made of organic polymers
and
4]Cathode
It inserts electron when current flows through the device.


There are also various types of OLEDs:
1]Transparent OLEDs
2]Top-emitting OLEDs
3]Foldable OLEDs and
4]White OLEDs


These are used in High defination tv,cell phones with color displays,advertisemnts
and hoardings.

These devices are not much thick and they consume very less power.OLEDS can also
provide bright display and consumes less power because it does not require back
light function as in displays in Liquid crystal displays that is LCDs.Also,they
react faster to changes in signal than in typical Plasma tv\'s and LCD\'s which are
suited for motion pictures.



We have already seen that OLED displays are much thinner than LCD\'s and
Plasmas,because they are made up of polymer films which make them flexible for
motion pictures.

They are also much lighter in weight and more temperature range which makes it more
durable.Also no backlight mean one less component to fail.Another advantage of OLED
is that as its made up of plastic,they can me of larger sizes.


We have already discussed various advantages of OLED,but, it has its few
disadvantages too.It being manufacturing process being too expensive right now
resulting overall product to be costly.And secondly water can easily damage the
OLEDs.Now that we know what is OLEDs, its types and its advantages & disadvanges
lets see how the technology is growing or what future it holds.

Currently, OLEDs are used in cells,PDAs and other small screen displays.In 2004,
sony corporation announced their plan to mass produce TVs with OLEDs.Kodak was the
first in race in implementing OLED displays in its digital-camera\'s.Development in
this field is growing tremendously and many digital companies are diving in this
technologically lucrative pool.

Contact Details: DisplaySearch, the worldwide leader in display market research and
consulting, reports in its OLED Technology Report that sales of Organic Light
Emitting Diode (OLED) displays are expected to surge 69% to more than $826.5 million
in 2008, and then grow by 83% in 2009 and 53% in 2010 as Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED)
displays become mainstream.
