OLEDs create high-quality, power-efficient displays

摘要

The market for organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology is worth an estimated annual $18bn today. It all started in the 1950s, when Andre Bernanose and his co-workers at the Nancy-Universite, France, made the first discovery of electroluminescence in organic materials, when the team applied alternating current to acridine orange die dissolved in and deposited on cellulose. In 1987, Ching Wan Tang of Eastman Kodak made a number of innovations in high-definition OLEDs, which resulted in the commercialisation of new flat-panel technology.
