Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology enables full-color, full-motion flat-panel displays with a level of brightness and sharpness not possible with other technologies. Unlike traditional liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), OLEDs are self-luminous and do not require backlighting. This eliminates the need for bulky mercury lamps and enables a thinner, more compact display.
Unlike other flat panel displays, OLEDs have a wide viewing angle-up to 160 degrees, even in bright light. Their low power consumption-only 2 to 10 volts-provides for maximum efficiency, and helps minimize heat and electric interference in electronic devices, such as cell phones and digital cameras.
