Organic Electroluminescence

An overview of the field of organic light-emitting materials and devices, this book discusses the principles of electroluminescence in organic thin films, as well as recent trends, current applications, and future potential uses. The book covers state-of-the-art concepts and technologies such as fluorescent and phosphorescent OLEDs, various approaches for patterning organics, and active matrix organic emissive displays including their back panel thin film transistors and pixel electronics. It explores future directions for OLEDs in organic light-emitting displays, large area distributed solid state light sources, and lasers using organic thin films, nanostructures, and photonic crystals.
