dc.description.abstractOrganic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are small, optoelectronic devices that can be used in the production of energy-efficient, high definition displays in cell phones, computers, and televisions. These devices have great potential to replace light emitting diodes (LEDs) completely because they are more environmentally friendly to produce, they are more efficient, and they can create displays much thinner than current LED displays. Moreover, OLEDs allow for the creation of brighter, flexible screens. While these devices have great potential, it has not been realized yet due to cost and difficulty in optimizing production processes. Many companies have been attempting to produce affordable OLED displays for years, but have not been successful due to lack of optimization of production processes. Work should continue to be done in economic optimization of the processes and also optimization of energy efficiency of the devices.en_US
