INTRODUCTION
LEP or PLED or P OLED Polymer which emits light(EM radiations). Polymers are chains of smaller molecular components called MONOMERS. CDT & UDC are developing LEP display.
HISTORY
1977 conducting polymers are discovered. Alan J. Heeger , Alan G. MacDiarmid got Nobel prize From this OLED evolved. In 1990 Friend et al found Electroluminescence in the conducting polymers. Birth of LIGHT EMITTING POLYMERS! Poly phinylene vinylene (PPV) is the first LEP discovered.
ARCHITECTURE
Thin film of semiconducting polymer sandwiched between an ANODE and CATHODE. ANODE: ITO(Indium Tin Oxide) CATHODE: Metals (depends upon the type of LEP) SUBSTRATE: Glass, clear plastic (depends upon the type of LEP) Voltage is applied between anode and cathode

HOW IT WORKS
Electroluminescence is the principle behind the LEP. Due to applied voltage electrons and holes will migrate to polymer lattice.

Robotic arm will pour small amount of polymer solution to the substrate.
After spreading ,it is baked to evaporate any remaining liquid. Extremely fine layer of polymers thickness of about 100nm having a

INK-JET PRINTING
Ink-jet head, Ink and substrate for printing are different Primary colour polymers are jetted to the substrate. Uniformly spread the substrate. Mainly used for printing LEP images. Also used for making large display.

ADVANTAGES
Require only 3.3v for operation. Low power consumption. Self luminous. No viewing angle dependence. Manufacturing cost is less. Can be scaled to any dimension. No environmental draw backs. Simple to use. Very slim flat panel displays.
28
DISADVANTAGES
Voltage drops may affect the performance. Limited market availability.
Aging of LEP Degradation of luminescence Light intensity gradually decreases. Disintegrate due to contact with oxygen.
