OLEDs—organic light-emitting diodes—convert electrical energy directly into photons. When current passes through an OLED, electrons leave the cathode and holes leave the anode; they recombine in the central emissive layer, joining into excitons and releasing either light or heat as they decay. The result is a phosphorescent OLED.
