DISPLAY DEVICES-EXPLAINED

Monday, 23 September 2013
HI friends in this post we are going to learn about the various types of DISPLAY DEVICES which we had been known.In this the foremost one is 

1.CRT(Cathode ray tube):Experiments to discover more on smallest  particle "atom"(on that time)by J.J thomson, landed him to know about electron.In his experiment he noticed that a ray of particles called electrons(named by G.J stoney) were travelling from cathode to anode,he made this electrons to fall on fluorescent screen when this electrons hit the screen bright spot is produced.On their way from electron gun to screen their is chance of deflection, due to surrounding fields(as electrons are negative),to overcome this he placed horizontal and vertical deflection plates in between the space.So based upon the electrons, which hit the screen display is produced.now a days we can observe CRT's in CRO(cathode ray oscilloscope) .Next to this is 
2.LCD(liquid crystal display):Display by liquid crystals.Normally we know crystals in solid form like rochelle salt,quartz etc unlike here it is liquid crystals,means crystals which are in liquid form or in which the  molecules tend to orientate easily.Actually liquid crystals state is in between solids and liquids.As we know that even on slight increase of temperature will turn this liquid into real liquid so liquid crystal  are effected easily by electric current.Based upon this feature, applied electric current results molecules change their orientation with which display is produced.Next to this
3.LED(light emitting diodes):The diodes which emit light when they are forward biased are LED's.when we look at aluminum-gallium-arsenide(AlGaAs), in this type of semiconductor made diodes the interaction between electrons and holes is interesting , which is responsible to emit light.we knew in previous post "introduction to pn junction diode" about diode condition when no external bias is applied i.e  depletion layer is formed(electrons recombine with holes due to diffusion) on recombination electrons jump from lower orbital to higher orbital and vice versa .Electrons lose(release) energy when they jump from higher to lower orbital and needs(gains) energy to move from lower to higher orbital.The energy released in this process is in form of photons which are basic particles of light,these photons have speed and momentum but have no mass.
you can ask me, why this emission of light doesn't occur in normal Si, Ge diode,the reason is that atoms in normal diode are arranged in a manner that energy drop is relatively short which is invisible to normal eye.By release of photons in led's display is produced.Next to this
4.OLED(organic light emitting diodes):The main differences between led and Oled is the presence of organic layer present between anode and cathode of a diode.The organic layers in Oled are organic layer,conducting layer,emissive layers,the main purpose of this layers are to transport much holes from anode and much electrons from cathode, this will increases the recombination rate which in turn increases the emission of photon which are basic particles of light,this is how display is produced in Oled.
