    About OLEDs

    OLEDs (organic light-emitting diode) 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.
