The abbreviation OLED stands for organic light emitting diode and, in contrast to a conventional light-emitting diode, consists of organic semiconducting materials. These ultra-thin layers of low-molecular or macromolecular organic molecules emit light when an electrical voltage is applied. OLEDs emit their light diffusely and without glare over the entire surface and stand out due to high contrasts, large color spaces as well as short response times. OLED luminaires can be almost arbitrarily transparent and flexible. Since OLED technology does not require backlighting, it is possible to develop very thin screens or use them as electronic paper.
