OLED Technology

 

What is OLED technology? How it is different from LED? Discuss its various uses.



OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) is a flat light emitting technology, made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. OLED display offer improved image quality– better contrast, higher brightness, fuller viewing angle, a wider colour range and much faster refresh rates and lower power consumption over an LED display.

About OLED technology:

  1. Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) is a newer display technology for mobiles and monitors. It consists of an organic layer sandwiched between two conducting sheets (an Anode and a cathode) with a glass plate the top and bottom.
  2. The carbon-based organic material emits electro-luminescent light when electricity is applied across the two conducting sheets.
  3. The panel is much thinner as it does not require backlight and filters. OLEDs are superior in their exceptional colour reproduction, fast response times, higher brightness and extremely light weight designs.

The Differences between LED and OLED:

OLEDLED
OLEDs are made of organic materials.LEDs are made from inorganic compounds.
The pixels of an OLED are self illuminating.The LEDs used to light an LED display.
OLED are expensive, though OLED prices are dropping significantly.LED are currently less expensive than OLED displays.
OLED feature a wider viewing angle than do LED.LED feature a limited viewing angle.
With OLED panels, the colours do not get washed out when viewers watch from extreme angles.In LED panels, the colours sometimes get washed out when viewers watch from extreme angles.
OLED technology offers the ability to develop lighter and thinner display.LED are heavier and thicker display.
OLED are more energy efficient. OLEDs have better Power efficiency.LED consume more energy efficient when compared to their OLED counterparts.
Response Time of OLEDs is faster than that of LED.Response Time of LED is slower than that of OLED.

Uses of an OLED:

  1. Lighting Applications: OLED lighting has the illumination of higher quality, varied panel shapes, and better-diffused light sources. This is used for lightning purposes.
  2. Mobile Phones: OLEDare used in mobile phones.In mobile phone AMOLED technology is used in screens which has better colours and contrast.
  3. Television Sets: Major giants in the industry pushing the use of OLED in television sets. OLEDs have advantages such as they include thin, low cost displays with a low driving voltage, wide viewing angle and high contrast and colour gamut.
  4. Fashion Industry: OLED technology is also used in the fashion industry, the automotive sector, production of cameras, and video games.

OLED has come a long way and is expected to be the mainstream display technology, usurping LEDs and LCDs in the future. However, research is still required to address some of the drawbacks of the technology.

Organic Farming- Sikkim Case Study-GS-3

Organic Farming- Sikkim Case Study-Gs-3 In 2003,  Sikkim  officially adopted a resolution to switch to  organic farming . The state decided to go  organic , to ensure long-term sustenance of soil fertility, protection of environment and ecology. The objective was also to promote healthy living and decreasing the risk of disease . India’s first organic state Sikkim  has won the  ‘Oscar for best policies’  conferred by the  Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)  for the world’s best policies promoting  agro-ecological and sustainable food systems.   The ‘Future Policy Award’ received by the  Chief Minister of Sikkim Pawan Kumar Chamling  in Rome on 15 Oct 2018 recognised the state’s leadership and political will to lead by example. The award was co-organized by  FAO, World Future Council and IFOAM- Organics International. FOOD AND AGRICULTURE   ORGANISATION (FAO) It is a specialized a...

FEMINIZATION OF AGRICULTURE

FEMINIZATION OF AGRICULTURE The term “ Feminization of agriculture ” refers to increasing participation of women in agricultural activities .It can be interpreted in following ways: ·           An increase in the percentage of women who are economically active in agricultural sector either as self employed or as agriculture wage workers or unremunerated family workers. ·         An increase in the percentage of women in agricultural labor force relative to men either because of more women are working or because of fewer men are working in agriculture. ·         The extent to which women define control and enact the processes of agriculture. Women in Indian agriculture statistics : ·         Participation of both men and women in agriculture has declined but the rate of decline has been faster among than it has among wom...
