Discovery of OLED Electroluminescence has been observed from single crystals of
anthracene in 1960
in 1987 Tang and van Slyke from Kodak reported efficient and low voltage OLEDs from thin films organic materials.
They used a hole-transporting molecular film of aromatic diamine as emitting layer
electron-transporting metal chelate tris-hydroxyquinoline aluminium(Alq3) between the transparent Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) anode and cathode
aluminium and magnesium as the cathode

consists of a thin film of organic material sandwiched between two electrodes.
The anode is transparent and is usually made of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) while the cathode is reflective and is made of metal(Ca or Mg)
The thickness of the organic layer is very thin (typically between 100 nm and150 nm thick) to avoid the need of high working voltage because the organic material is almost an insulator

OLED Structure
![Page 5: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The OLED structure is similar to inorganic LEDs: an emitting layer between an anode and a cathode
Holes and electrons are injected from the anode and cathode; when the charge carriers annihilate in the middle organic layer, a photon is emitted
![Page 6: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The process of electroluminescence involves• charge injection• charge transport• carriers recombination• radiative decay
![Page 7: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
When a voltage is applied between the electrodes, charges are injected in the organic material
holes from the anode and electrons from the cathode Then, the charges move inside the material, generally by
hopping processes and then recombine to form excitons

The colour of the photon is a function of the energy difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels of the electroluminescent molecule

Classification of OLEDs
OLED devices can be divided into two classes: depending on the type of organics used
• Small molecule devices (SMOLED)• Organic polymer devices (PLED or LEP).
![Page 12: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SMOLED
Small short-chain organic semiconductor molecules are formed by a string of benzene rings
In these rings, the π-bonds are delocalized to form a π-system. With increasing delocalization, the breach between occupied and
empty states in these π-systems squeezes, leading to smaller bandgap
![Page 13: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Structure of SMOLED

Polymer OLED
Polymer OLED molecules have π-bonds that are delocalized along the chain forming a one-dimensional system
Delocalization takes place by forming a conjugated vertebral column of continuous overlapping orbitals composed of alternating single and double carbon–carbon bonds

Polymer OLED Structure
![Page 16: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PEDOT:PSS or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate is used as a transparent, conductive polymer
Polyaniline can be used

SMOLED Vs Polymer OLED
SMOLED emitts bright light but cost of production is expensive,uses manufacturing method called vaccum deposition
Polymer LED is manufactured by Spin Coating and Inkjet printing POLED is more suitable large area displays
![Page 18: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Manufacturing Methodes
1. Spin coating 2. Vaccum evapouration3. Ink-jet Printing
![Page 19: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Spin coating
organic material is deposited in liquid form on a substrate in excess
The substrate is rotated at high speed causing the liquid to spread out across the substance
The liquid will form a thin layer and solidify as it evaporates
Films produced this way tend to have inconsistent thickness as well as poor surface smoothness
![Page 20: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Vaccum evaporation
organic materials are evaporated or sublimed in high vacuum to form molecular beams towards the substrate
![Page 22: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
organic materials are deposited onto a substrate through a thin metal stencil, also known as a "shadow mask”
This process is problematic, as a significant amount of the material is wasted because it disperses all over the mask

Applications
OLEDs are is used for making Displays Lighting

Advantages
Thinner, lighter and more flexible Can be made to larger sizes Brighter. High resolution, <5μm pixel size Large fields of view, about 170 degrees Faster response time
![Page 25: ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef4cf51a28ab05078b45ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Disadvantages
Expensive emitter is sensitive to oxidation and humidity Lifetime. While red and green OLED films have long
lifetimes(10,000 to 40,000 hours), blue organics currently have much shorter lifetimes (only about 1000 hours
