Active Matrix Light Emitting Display (AMOLED), Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), Hole Transport Layer (HTL), Electron Transport Layer (ETL), Emissive Layer (EML).Abstract
Active Matrix organic light emitting displays are emerging as the display of the future due to their active
contribution towards the flat panel display technology. Organic light emitting displays have all the features due
to which it dominates the flat panel display technology. The AMOLED displays have various features like low
cost, low power consumption, high brightness, wide view angle, good color contrast and its ability to be
fabricated on a flexible substrate. The display is basically an array of independently controllable pixels.
Therefore, the number of pixel depends on the dimension as well as on the resolution for the required
application. This paper defines the types of OLED on the basis of its mode of operation (Active matrix and
Passive matrix). Different characteristics and parameters of individual OLED structure are extracted and
compared to show their structure dependent behavior. Undoubtedly a higher performance is achieved for
multilayer OLED structure with respect to the bilayer due to a significant increase in the carrier recombination
rate
