Organic Light Emitting Devices: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

This high-class book reflects a decade of intense research, culminating in excellent successes over the last few years. The contributions from both academia as well as the industry leaders combine the fundamentals and latest research results with application know-how and examples of functioning displays.

As a result, all the four important aspects of OLEDs are covered:

- syntheses of the organic materials

- physical theory of electroluminescence and device efficiency

- device conception and construction

- characterization of both materials and devices.

The whole is naturally rounded off with a look at what the future holds in store.

The editor, Klaus Muellen, is director of the highly prestigious MPI for polymer research in Mainz, Germany, while the authors include Nobel Laureate Alan Heeger, one of the most notable founders of the field, Richard Friend, as well as Ching Tang, Eastman Kodak's number-one OLED researcher, known throughout the entire community for his key publications.
