OLED – Organic Light Emitting Diodes now allow to build flexible screens

OLEDs (organic Light Emitting Diodes ) are made up of thin films of organic compounds that generate light when zapped with electricity. Besides consuming less power than light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or liquid crystal displays (LCDs), OLEDs also offer brighter, sharper resolutions, all while measuring 100 to 500 nanometers thick (that’s roughly 200 times thinner than the width of a human hair!)

This may sound like a pipe dream, but Sony is already working on an entire line of OLED computer screens and televisions, which it will begin releasing this year.

Flexible Electronics and Display Center’s world-class flexible display capabilities, in concert with other ASU synergistic research, worked together to achieve a leadership position in the emerging flexible electronics industry.
