OLED Display
The OLED (organic light-emitting diode)
display contains organic materials that emit
light when an electric current is passed
through them (see Figure 1). As the light
emissions are self-generated, the level can be
controlled by altering the strength of the
current.
Because there is no need for a backlight, an
OLED display is much thinner and lighter than
a conventional LCD panel. It also features
high contrast, high brightness, excellent colour
reproduction and rapid response to moving
pictures.

With its light-emitting structure, the OLED
display can reproduce virtually any colour by
combining the red, green and blue light
emitted by the organic materials, while black
is shown by no light emission. True black is
created by preventing all light emission
completely, achieving the high contrast that
conventional displays cannot match.
There are broadly two ways to extract the light
emitted by the organic materials (see Figure
2). In the bottom emission method, the light is
extracted from the TFT substrate side. Since
