What the future will look like, or be seen through

basically an OLED is an organic light emitting diode. What allows this display to be so thin and flexible is because unlike current LCD technology(liquid crystal) OLED's do not need a backlight to give them brightness or color. Because the pixels that make up the display's are organic, the advantages of using are better energy efficiency, simple inkjet print like reproduction and thinner screen sizes. Unfortunately saturated colors like blue, are difficult to achieve and result in a shortened lifetime.
