Abstract

Flexible phone screens, luminescent window glass, and large-area lighting roofs, which were incredible about 30 years ago, have now or will in the near future become a part of our lives owing to the emergence of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Because of their high display quality, low consumption, lightweighting, and flexible features, OLEDs have been recognized as the next-generation display and lighting technology.
