Ching Tang: The science of organic light-emitting diodes
By:   []
Date: None

Professor Ching Tang’s pioneering work led to the practical use of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and their widespread application in displays and lighting – from smartphones to TVs. He arrived at this achievement through studying light emission processes in electrically driven organic materials and invented a new device structure in which two carefully selected materials were stacked, allowing for high-efficiency light emission at low drive voltages.

Professor Tang is the current Kyoto Prize Laureate for Advanced Technology. As part of the Kyoto Prize at Oxford 2021, he will deliver a lecture examining the evolution and future prospects of OLEDs, followed by opportunities for Q&A.

Please note: This event takes place online via Zoom. Register below to receive joining instructions. A recording of the lecture and Q&A will be available to watch afterwards on the Blavatnik School of Government YouTube channel.
