Principles and Applications of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)

N. Thejo Kalyani is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Laxminarayan Innovation Technological University, Nagpur, India. Her research interest includes the synthesis, characterization, and fabrication of OLED devices and displays using various organic complexes by vacuum deposition and solution techniques.Hendrik C. Swart is a senior professor in the Department of Physics at the University of the Free State, South Africa. His research investigates the degradation of phosphors for field emission displays, as well as developing materials for nano solid-state lighting. He has been key in the development of processes to synthesize and deposit thin films of several types of semiconductor nanoparticles to enhance the color, luminescent intensity, and lifetime of such displays. Sanjay J. Dhoble is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, India. During his research career he has worked on the synthesis and characterization of solid-state lighting materials and phosphors for solar cell efficiency enhancement, as well as the development of radiation dosimetry phosphors, and the biosynthesis of nanoparticles and their applications.
