OLED

Self-emissive

OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode) is self-emissive technology.
Unlike local dimming technology in LCD, the pixel dimming technology in OLED also enables
each pixel to control its brightness independently from other pixel, showcasing perfect picture quality without a halo.

No Backlight

The self-emissive OLED is slim and light as it does not require a backlight,
liquid crystals, color filters, or other structural components.

LCD

The structure of an LCD screen with layers labeled BLU, POL, CELL, and Glass, displaying a canyon image.
  • BLU(Back Light Unit) is a lighting unit that distributes light evenly across an LCD panel.
  • POL(Polarizer) is a film that filters white light from the backlight unit, adjusting the direction of the light.
  • CELL is a small individual panel cut out to an appropriate size for the product.

OLED

The structure of an OLED screen with layers labeled Film, TFT & OLED, and Encap, displaying a canyon image.
  • Film(Anti Reflection Film) is attached to enhance visibility and resolution.
  • TFT(Thin Film Transistor) acts as a switch to turn individual light-emitting pixels on and off.

    OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode) is a self-luminous electronic circuit element that uses light generated by the energy loss of an exciton after each electron and hole.
  • Encap(Encapsulation Technology) protects organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) from shock, moisture, and impurities.

The Values of OLED Characteristics

  • Red sun pictogram

    High contrast ratio displays the brightest white and the darkest black for a deeper and more detailed expression.

  • Color chart icon

    OLED does not require a backlight or other structural components that decrease light purity, allowing a detail of color expression.

  • One Black eye icon

    Eyes are less burdened as harmful light is reduced to less than half of LCDs and OLED does not require a flicker-inducing driving method.

  • Recycling pictogram

    OLED contains just 10% of plastic compared to LCDs and has 90% recyclability.

Principle of OLED Self-lighting

OLED is an organic light emitting diode that lights up in response to an electric current.
The hole(+) and electron(-) injected from the anode and cathode recombine in the emissive layer to form an exciton and illuminate.

  • HIL : Hole Injection Layer
  • EML : Emission Layer
  • EIL : Electron Injection Layer
  • HTL : Hole Transport Layer
  • ETL : Electron Transport Layer
  • Exciton : A bound state of an electron and an electron hole
