An OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is a light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound which emits light in response to an electric current. This layer of organic semiconductor is situated between two electrodes. Generally, at least one of these electrodes is transparent.

Applications: Television Screens, Computer Monitor, Mobile Phones, Handheld Devices, Digital Watch, Portable Systems, POS Devices. An OLED display works without a backlight. Thus, it can display deep black levels and can be thinner and lighter than a liquid crystal display (LCD). In low ambient light conditions such as a dark room an OLED screen can achieve a higher contrast ratiothan an LCD, whether the LCD uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps or LED backlight.
