Flexible organic light-emitting diode
open-in-new
<p>A flexible organic light-emitting diode (FOLED) is a type of <a href="/facts/Organic_light-emitting_diode/219L1aMJ">organic light-emitting diode</a> (OLED) incorporating a flexible plastic <a href="/facts/Substrate_(semiconductor)/lCBJAoUL">substrate</a> on which the <a href="/facts/Electroluminescence/geazduXd">electroluminescent</a> <a href="/facts/Organic_semiconductor/WjP1RhKW">organic semiconductor</a> is deposited. This enables the device to be bent or rolled while still operating. Currently the focus of research in industrial and academic groups, flexible OLEDs form one method of fabricating a <a href="/facts/Rollable_display/Q1G9gS9S">rollable display</a>. </p>
