Unlike traditional liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), OLEDs are self-luminous and do not require backlighting. This eliminates the need for bulky and environmentally undesirable mercury lamps and yields 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. Because of this combination of features, OLED displays communicate more information in a more engaging way while adding less weight and taking up less space. Their application in numerous devices is not only a future possibility, but a current reality. --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
