This is the organic LEDs, and this is a setup that's very similar in concept to regular LED if you remember regular LED has the little diode system, got a little solid state element and it's got electrical connection on one end and an electrical connection on the other, and so the power sort of goes through it when the diode gets the power going through, that's what it's giving off the light, but for the OLEDs, instead of it being in this very simple straightforward almost like a wire connection and then this little moment in between that has the diode in it, it's done in these layers so I might have a layer of essentially the same as the diode and I would have potentially a layer underneath it that is the one side of this sort of electrical connection, it's like a gel that the electrical can move through, and then I would have another layer on the other side that electrical connection can move through. So I have three layers and one of them is the diode, the other two are about allowing this electrical process to happen, and then they get smashed together and so they're very thin, they're so thin that they can be rolled up. So you can have flexible materials that actually produce light.
