The Organic Future

I was watching the news a few weeks ago when a special report came on about a new type of LED. It was Called Organic LED and it was made from Organic materials, but it also only 3mm think!!! This new advancement in technology promises advanced levels of contrast and brightness, a broad spectrum of colour reproduction and a rapid video response rate. This also makes it environmentally friendly.

Whereas a liquid-crystal display (LCD) removes light from a backplane to create its picture, an OLED emits light, which creates a substantial amount of efficiency. Since OLED pixels only consume energy when they're in use, they can consume up to 40 percent less energy than LCDs. Plus OLEDs also make it possible for manufacturers to incorporate some fun novelties into their products. For instance, OLED panels could be made to show images on both sides, and they can be clear when they are turned off. This is definitely cool and I will be waiting for it to come to Canada.
