This is a photograph of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED).
OLEDs are being used in the newest generation of television
screens. An OLED is comprised of a thin organic film held
between conductors. When electrical current is applied to the
conductors, the film emits a bright light. Because OLEDs emit
light, OLED-based displays do not require backlighting. That's
why these displays are both thinner and more efficient than
today’s common LCD screens, which require an additional internal
light source. Several major electronics companies have recently
introduced OLED-based television screens. Raquell Ovilla,
