How OLED Displays work using a Glowing Pickle

Vladimir Bulovic a Electrical Engineering & Computer from Mit are showing a interesting video how OLED Displays work with using a glowing pickle.

OLEDs are nothing more than an electrically active organic material sandwiched between an anode (a electron-expelling electrode) and a cathode (an electron-receiving electrode). When an electric current runs through the system, the anode sends electrons to the cathode, creating a current through the organic material. This charges the organic material, and when positive and negative charges hit the same molecule, it releases a photon, which we perceive as glowing.

@ExteelPaprika give it 5 years at the most

I don't know how people come up with this stuff...

[ExteelPaprika]

the future is crazy... ten years from now we'll have affordable 3d oled tvs. EYE CANDY

This video is straight-forward and less headache inducing than the wikipedia about OLED

Im doing an assignment on this technology.

Very interesting!

LAWLCAKES, my pickle only glows when i touch it...

Although LEDs do have a longer lifespan than cold cathode lighting they do eventually wear out and in fact get dimmer pretty early in their lifespan.
