The 24 pages that link to OLED, each with the reason it gives.
Cathode-ray tubeCompared with: OLED pixels emit their own light without a vacuum envelope or scanning beam.
Light-emitting diodeCompared with: OLEDs are a related device class, often used for thin, emissive displays.
Liquid-crystal displayCompared with: Unlike most LCDs, OLED pixels emit their own light and can switch off individually.
Additive colorRelated: Its display pixels emit colored light directly for additive mixing.
Work functionRelated: Electrode work functions affect how efficiently charge enters its organic layers.
Samsung ElectronicsRelated: OLED panels are a major display technology in Samsung phones and televisions.
Organic semiconductorBroader topic: Organic semiconductors transport and recombine charges in the emissive layers.
ElectroluminescenceBroader topic: OLEDs use electrically excited organic layers to create light in displays and lighting.
Computer monitorCompared with: Unlike LCDs, OLED monitors can light each pixel without a separate backlight.
Refresh rateRelated: OLED pixel response is fast, but refresh rate remains a separate display-timing property.
AnthraceneRelated: Anthracene derivatives are used as fluorescent emitters and host materials in OLEDs.
MicroLEDCompared with: OLED is the closest self-emissive display rival, but uses organic rather than inorganic emitters.
Plasma displayCompared with: OLED pixels emit visible light directly, without plasma’s gas discharge and phosphor conversion.
Solid-state lightingCompared with: OLEDs use organic emitters and often form broad, thin panels rather than point-like sources.
White LEDCompared with: OLED panels can emit broad or colored light through a different device structure than inorganic white LEDs.
Indium tin oxideRelated: Indium tin oxide commonly serves as the transparent anode that injects holes.
Display deviceBroader topic: OLED displays make each pixel emit its own light, enabling deep blacks and thin panels.
Flat-panel displayBroader topic: OLED pixels produce their own light, enabling thin panels without a separate backlight.
Hideki ShirakawaBroader topic: Conductive and semiconducting polymers became useful materials in some OLED architectures.
Alan J. HeegerRelated: Conductive polymers and related organic materials have enabled flexible display technologies.
Alan MacDiarmidRelated: Research on conducting polymers helped establish the broader field of organic electronic materials.
CarbazoleRelated: Carbazole derivatives can act as hosts or charge-transport materials in these devices.
Projection screenCompared with: OLED pixels emit their own light rather than depending on projected illumination.
Segment displayCompared with: OLED panels can form arbitrary images, unlike fixed-pattern segment layouts.
