OrganicLightEmittingDiode

an OLED is any light emitting diode in which an emissive electroluminescent layer is composed of a film of organic components.

Organic layers are oftencomposed of Carbonand Hydrogen

Light emits when electronsjump from the conductivelayer to the emissive layer

A flexible bending light that can be transparent

A complete surface light source, with no system needed to spread light

Low power

Quick refresh rate

Can be exposed to a wider temperature range

Lighter weight than LEDs 1.8mm

Conceptual OLEDs are extensively used in Sci-Fi film to provide informationon seemingly impossible surfaces

Philips and BASF has produced Lumiblade OLEDs of just 1.8 mm thickness, with materials and dyes that become transparent when light is not being emitted. Furthermore, this OLED can be put between solar cells to capture solar energy. The applications for transparent panels that capture solar energy and emit light can be used through out the modern solar home.

What does that mean for us?

By using OLEDs we can augment our reality,whereby increasing our connectivity andchanneling a deeper comprehension ofthe world.

Data system Devices can nowbe fully integratedInto the clothing of the userbecause of the affordanceThis material provides

Taking inspiration from games and film a new path of consumer Wearable Technologycan be formed

The Heads Up Display is a commonly used mechanism in video games. It is used to give the player information that is deemed relevant to their experience and success in the game.

Designers can use this mechanism for consumer products that enhance, inform and increase safety for the user.
