Light emitting diodes based on organic semiconductors (OLEDs) have attracted increased research interest over the last decade due to their potential for low cost flat panel displays. Multilayer devices allow to achieve efficient and bright light emission in the entire visible spectral region. The principle of operation is similar to that of inorganic light emitting diodes (LEDs). Holes and electrons are injected from opposite contacts through separate transport layers into the emission layer. Recombination leads to the formation of singlet excitons that decay radiatively.
