Meaning:

A self-luminous diode (it glows when an electrical field is applied to the electrodes) that does not require backlighting or diffusers

 Context examples 

Since organic semiconductors, widely used in applications such as OLEDs, are cheaper and easier to produce than silicon, it had been thought that spintronic devices based on organic semiconductors could power a future computer revolution.
