"OLEDs from lab discovery to displays in Nokia mobile  devices"

Antti Lääperi (Concepting Program Manager, Nokia Device R&D) is giving a presentation in UMK Colloquium on New Materials Tue 28.4. at 15.15 in the lecture hall H (TKK main building).

C. W. Tang C. W. and S.A. Van Slyke from the Kodak Eastman Laboratories reported for the first time on organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) in 1987. Ten years later Pioneer introduced this display technology in an audio radio. Another ten years later Nokia started to use OLED displays in some of their mobile devices.

The seminar lecture will review the development of the OLED technology over the years including actions Nokia took when the technology matured for commercial applications.
