Physics & chemistry in everyday life Easy

कार्बनिक प्रकाश उत्सर्जी डायोड (ऑर्गेनिक लाइट एमिटिंग डायोड/OLED) का उपयोग बहुत से साधनों में अंकीय प्रदर्श (डिजिटल डिस्प्ले) सर्जित करने के लिए किया जाता है । द्रव क्रिस्टल प्रदर्शों की तुलना में OLED प्रदर्श किस प्रकार लाभकारी हैं ?

  1. 1.OLED प्रदर्श नम्य प्लास्टिक अवस्तरों पर संविरचित किए जा सकते हैं ।
  2. 2.OLED के प्रयोग से, वस्त्र में अंतःस्थापित उपरिवेल्लनीय प्रदर्श (रोल्ड-अप डिस्प्ले) बनाए जा सकते हैं ।
  3. 3.OLED के प्रयोग से, पारदर्शी प्रदर्श संभव हैं ।

Read this question in English

Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are used to create digital display in many devices. What are the advantages of OLED displays over Liquid Crystal displays?

1. OLED displays can be fabricated on flexible plastic substrates.

2. Roll-up displays embedded in clothing can be made using OLEDs.

3. Transparent displays are possible using OLEDs.

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

(a) 1 and 3 only · (b) 2 only · (c) 1, 2 and 3 · (d) None of the above statements is correct

उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English

Answer: (c) 1, 2 और 3

All three statements are advantages of OLED displays. Each OLED pixel makes its own light, so the panel needs no rigid backlight unit as an LCD does, and it can be built thin, on flexible plastic, see-through or rolled up.

  • ✓ 1. OLED layers can be deposited on flexible substrates, not only on glass, which is why bendable and foldable phone screens use them. An LCD needs a backlight and a rigid liquid-crystal cell.
  • ✓ 2. Because the panel can be made on a flexible base, roll-up and wearable displays, including ones stitched into clothing, are possible. Curved, bendable, foldable and rollable OLED screens already exist.
  • ✓ 3. OLEDs can be made transparent, so a see-through display is possible. An LCD depends on a backlight behind the screen, which blocks that.

Remember · OLED pixels emit their own light (no backlight), so screens can be thin, flexible, rollable and transparent. LCDs cannot do this easily.
