It is said that that Organic light emitting diode (OLED) will be the best alternative to LCD screens in the coming years, but without their habit of color-shifting and fading after a few thousand hours.

With a lifetime of over 65,000 hours, Kodak has just announced its success in making a new kind of OLED.

In most of OLEDS there is special organic thin-film materials that begin to emit light an electrical charge stimulates it without any backlight. It shows that they are enough powerful-efficient and quite lighter than many other liquid crystal displays of today.

Another good thing about them is that they are viewable almost 180-degress and they do not suffer from motion blur just like many other LCD screens. Green dopant is a material that has been used to enhance lifetime, efficiency and luminance.

Corey Hewitt, Kodak vice president says in this connection, “We have made greater than 50% year-after-year developments in OLED luminance and the company will keep moving to fill the pipeline with new inventions to make sure that Kodak OLED materials are ready to use in a lot of emerging applications.”

According to market researchers DiplaySearch, the worldwide OLED market will grow to more than $17 billion by 2015.

Similarly, NanoMarkets predicts that OLED solid-state lighting industry may grow more than $5billion over the same time.
