Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) typically include several layers of organic materials sandwiched between conductive thin film electrodes. A flexible OLED is based on a flexible substrate which can be either plastic, metal or flexible glass, flexible electrodes (either metal or alloys of metals or others), and flexible encapsulation. In recent years, great attention has paid to the exploitation of flexible transparent electrodes for applications in wearable electronics, flexible displays, touch panels, and solar cells.
I am involved in the field of organic light emitting devices since 2002. I also worked as visiting Scientist at Korea Electronics Technology Institute, South Korea in 2003 and 2005 (Brain Pool, KOFST) on OLEDs devices. I am specialized in Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLEDs) devices and displays and acquired enough expertize to conduct the research project on OLEDs. During these years, I have published around 65 research articles in various SCI journals of repute. In addition, I have contributed chapters to two books on OLEDs.
