OLED Layers Using PHOLED
An OLED is a series of organic thin films sandwiched between two thin-film conductive electrodes, all deposited onto a substrate. When electricity is applied, charge carriers (holes and electrons) are injected from the anode and cathode into the PHOLED layer and recombine to form excitons, which cause photons to emit.
