Today I'll be talking about one of the coolest things I've seen so far. This new technology has many applications and most of the mobile devices in the future will use this systems.
What is OLED?
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. The "organic" in OLED refers to organic material. Carbon is the basis of all organic matter. The "LED" stands for "Light Emitting Diode" and describes the process of converting electric energy into light. There are two types of OLEDs small molecule OLED and polymer OLED. Sony uses the small molecule type because it has a longer lifespan.
Is a flat light emitting technology, made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. OLEDs can be used to make displays and lighting. Because OLEDs emit light they do not require a backlight and so are thinner and more efficient than LCD displays(which do require a white backlight).
This also allows OLED to have flexibility and this makes them perfect for any type of application. Your imagination is the limit, clothes, cars, mobile devices, anything!
Oled-Display.net & Oled-info.com are both great sources for OLED info, you should check them out, I have been following them for about a year now and they always have good content and news about this technology.
YOU:
But wait a second... Isn't this blog called Manufacturing 4 U ??? Shouldn't it be about manufacturing? Why are you talking about this ?? This has nothing to do with manufacturing...
MFG4U:
Not yet! However, can you imagine the possibilities? The first thing that comes to my mind is to have a HMI (Human-Machine Interface) that allows workers to interact with the process anywhere over any surface. Maybe some gages that allow you to place the OLED device over the part that you are about to assembly and after that, you select where you want to apply the welding or cutting on the part and the device will automatically send this data to the robot and the robot will automatically adjust its path. This would work fabulously in custom manufacturing systems or detail processes.
As I said, your imagination is the limit!!!
So tell me: How would you apply OLED in a manufacturing environment?
