    About OLEDs

    OLEDs are semiconductors made of thin organic material layers of
    only a few nanometers thickness. They emit light in a diffuse way to
    form an area light source. In a fast growing display market OLEDs are
    key part of a revolution: the dream of paper-thin, highly efficient
    displays with brilliant colors and great flexibility in design is
    becoming reality. OLEDs represent the future of a vast array of
    completely new lighting applications. By combining color with shape,
    organic LEDs will create a new way of decorating and personalizing
    people´s surroundings with light. At the same time OLEDs offer the
    potential to become even more efficient than energy-saving bulbs.
