How do Sony's and LG's OLED TVs work? MIT professor Vladimir Bulovic explains using a glowing pickle and an accent to die for.
Essentially, electrons pass through the pickle (or any other active organic matter) and charge the substance. When positive and negative charges collide, they release a photon (light). This pickle represents just one of millions of OLEDs in a potential display. It also means that Vlassic stock will skyrocket if they can only cut those Bread and Butter chips a little bit smaller.
