Implementation Method 1

An organic light emission phenomenon generally refers to the conversion of electrical energy to light energy using an organic material. When a voltage is applied between the two electrodes in such an organic light emitting device structure, holes and electrons are injected into the organic material layer from the anode and the cathode, respectively, and when the injected holes and electrons meet, excitons are formed, and light is emitted when these excitons fall back to the ground state.
