Organic Light-Emitting Diodes are widely regarded as the successor to LCD due to their bright vibrant colors, full viewing angles and low-power efficiency. The term "organic" refers to the carbon-based molecules, the technology uses in place of the metals or silicon used by other technologies.

As OLED produces images better than current LCD technology and without a back light, it means in future we could see our gadgets benefiting from thinner screens that also roll-up. This latest research managed a reliable and scalable solution by combining the OLED’s organic compounds with a viscous polymeric matrix.

Know More About OLED

• A flexible OLED display can drastically change the design of a number of common products we use today. The mobile phone is likely the first gadget to see the benefits of this.


• No longer will manufacturers need to supply phones that have a footprint governed by the size of the screen and keypad. If they form part of the screen, then your phone could be as small as a pen that pulls out to reveal the screen when required. This would require the addition of a touchscreen element to the flexible OLED....TVs could also be rolled away much like projection screens are. We may even see a single TV sold in the future that can be rolled out to sizes of anywhere between 20-50 inches.
