“Overall however, despite a few shortcomings, this work will be a valuable and currently unique resource for anyone interested in learning about OLEDs in general and of particular interest to engineers, managers, and other industry professionals entering the field or expanding their areas of expertise.” (Information Display, 1 May 2012)
A much-needed guide to the design and manufacturing of OLED displays
Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays are expected to replace Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) in the upcoming years in television screens, computer monitors, watches, mobile phones, and similar applications. OLED Displays: Fundamentals and Applications is the first book to offer complete, practical, up-to-date coverage of the development, manufacturing, and applications of this cutting-edge technology.
Written by a leading industry expert with over two decades in both R&D and commercialization, the book walks engineers and industry professionals through all aspects of the technology, from the basics of OLED displays to commercialization and manufacturing. Drawing on extensive firsthand experience, the author explains the fundamentals of OLED composition and function, details step by step the design and manufacturing of OLED displays, and examines important applications in lighting and display technology. He also provides real-world examples and problem-solving techniques used during product commercialization.
Geared to both experienced practitioners and newcomers to the field, OLED Displays: Fundamentals and Applications:
-
Discusses emission mechanisms, material selection, device processing, manufacturing issues, and display design basics
-
Outlines Thin Film Transistor (TFT) backplane design and processing details, including the Low Temperature Poly Silicon (LTPS) process and circuit integration
-
Devotes a full chapter to lighting, one of the major applications of OLED
-
Explores a variety of display applications, including flexible displays and the large-scale OLED television screen
-
Covers both the current composition of OLED and the future of OLED technologies and displays
