Praise for the Previous Edition This book documents the enormous progress made in this fascinating area. ... After a quick look at the table of contents, the preface, and the editors involved, the value and uniqueness of the chapters of this book become clear. ...The final chapter gives a very useful summary of the patent positions of the key companies that are involved in the development of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials. In conclusion, this book is a very useful and up-to-date collection that reveals the state of the art in OLED materials, devices, and displays. It addresses a broad spectrum of work, from materials synthesis and characterization to display architectures and technology-related issues. This well-prepared and clearly structured book is targeted at both academic and industrial researchers working in the OLED field, but will also be of interest to M.Sc and Ph.D students. -Ulrich Scherf, Bergische Universitat Wuppertal, Germany, Materials Today, Vol. 10, No. 5, May 2007
