What is OLED?

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a display technology where a thin film of organic compounds emits light when an electric current is passed through it. OLEDs are commonly used in television screens, smartphone displays, and other electronic devices due to their vibrant colors, high contrast ratios, and energy efficiency. They also allow for flexible and foldable displays.
