Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs): Materials, devices and applicationsEdited by A Buckley, University of Sheffield, UK
Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials No. 36
- summarises key research on the materials, engineering and applications of OLED's
- reviews conjugated polymers, transparent conducting thim films
- considers nanostructuring OLEDS for increasing levels of efficiency
- examines applications, including in various types of displays and lighting panels
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are opening up exciting new applications in the area of white lighting and displays. OLEDs emit their own light which means they have low power consumption, and are made of flexible films, this gives them an advantage over LCDs and plasma screens. This important book summarises key research on materials, engineering and the range of applications of these versatile materials.
Part one covers materials for OLEDs. Chapters review conjugated polymers, transparent conducting thin films, iridium complexes and phosphorescent materials. Part two discusses the operation and engineering of OLED devices. Chapters discuss topics such as highly efficient pin-type OLEDs, amorphous organic semiconductors, nanostructuring techniques, light extraction, colour tuning, printing techniques, fluorenone defects and disruptive characteristics as well as durability issues. Part three explores the applications of OLEDs in displays and solid-state lighting. Applications discussed include displays, microdisplays and transparent OLEDs, sensors and large-area OLED lighting panels.
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is a standard reference for engineers working in lighting, display technology and the consumer electronics sectors, as well as those researching OLEDs.
