What is the main function of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED)?
- To create a solid-state lighting application
- To control each individual pixel on or off
- To develop white OLED devices
- To emit light in response to an electric current (correct)
What distinguishes PMOLED from AMOLED in terms of display control?
What distinguishes PMOLED from AMOLED in terms of display control?
- PMOLED creates white light, whereas AMOLED creates colored light
- PMOLED controls each row and line sequentially, whereas AMOLED uses a thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane for individual pixel control (correct)
- PMOLED uses a p-n diode structure, whereas AMOLED uses a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC)
- PMOLED has a transparent electrode, whereas AMOLED has a non-transparent electrode

Study Notes
- OLED is a type of light-emitting diode (LED) where the emissive layer is a film of organic compound that responds to electric current with light emission.
- OLEDs are used in digital displays such as TVs, computer monitors, smartphones, and game consoles.
- Two main families of OLEDs exist: those based on small molecules and those using polymers.
- Adding mobile ions to an OLED creates a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC).
- OLED displays can be driven using passive-matrix (PMOLED) or active-matrix (AMOLED) control schemes. In PMOLED, each row and line is controlled sequentially, whereas AMOLED uses a TFT backplane to directly switch pixels on or off, allowing for higher resolution and larger display sizes.
- OLED and LED are different: OLEDs don't use a p-n structure, whereas LEDs are based on p-n diodes and use doping to create p- and n-regions.
- OLEDs have a different mode of operation compared to LECs.
- Research is ongoing for developing white OLEDs for use in solid-state lighting applications.
