Organic Light-Emitting Materials and Devices

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are emerging as the leading display technology. This book provides a single source of information covering all aspects of OLEDs. It deals with history, fundamental physics, multilayer OLED architectures, organic light emitting materials, manufacturing and performance measurement techniques, and more. It also discusses the patent status of currently used materials, potential applications, and the challenges facing future development, with a balance between academic and industrial points of view. This Second Edition has been completely updated and revised.
