his book provides an elaborate description and presentation of the recent technological evolution of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), starting from basic research to product development. Specific emphasis is given toward OLED application for displays and lighting. The book starts with the history of OLEDs from 1987 to 2015, and ends with information on new technologies involved in OLED fabrication. The first three chapters briefly introduce the history of OLEDs (chapter 1), the fundamentals (chapter 2), and light emission mechanisms (chapter 3) that are necessary to understand the underlying “basic physics of OLEDs.” A systematic and in-depth presentation is made in the remaining eight chapters, giving specific details on materials, devices, fabrication, displays, lighting, and new technologies of flexible as well as quantum dot OLEDs. These make the book suitable
for varied scientific communities (e.g., readers with a basic physics background, those working in interdisciplinary areas of research-technology, and those involved in technology development). Chapters 4–7 are requisites of the field to understand and to undertake research work on applications of OLEDs. Accordingly, in-depth material aspects are clearly explained in chapter 4, whereas various types of OLED devices and their fabrication processes are explained in chapters 5 and 6, respectively. Chapter 7 includes information on performancerelated parameters of OLEDs necessary to compare and grade them for commercial applications. This set of chapters prepares one to be well versed in OLED technology to an extent that can help a researcher in initiating research in this ever-growing area. Chapters 8 and 9 describe the state of the art of OLED technology in the context

he text of this book is divided into two parts, with the first part comprising eight chapters that cover basic thermodynamic concepts and definitions, design of thermoelectric power-generation devices, and specific applications. The first chapter begins with a brief historical introduction to thermoelectrics, followed by an overview of thermoelectric phenomena.
The next three chapters delve specifically into thermoelectric devices, with chapters on power generation, refrigeration, and optimization of design of thermoelectric devices, including heat dissipation. This is followed by an in-depth investigation of specific formalism of the thermodynamics with exact and numerical solutions to heat flow through a device. Thermal and
of display and light applications. Aspects of OLED fabrication in the flexible configuration are included in chapter 10. This chapter especially indicates the promising future of flexible displays and light sources in the era to come. Present evolution and future aspects of OLED devices (e.g., electrodes, thin-film
