Recently, staff from the Department of Electronic Engineering had the opportunity to meet with 9th and 10th-grade students from the Vasyl Symonenko Lyceum of the Lviv City Council. Serhiy Melnykov, an assistant at the Department of Electronic Engineering at Lviv Polytechnic, delivered an engaging lecture on OLEDs — a technology revolutionizing modern lighting — and shared insights into the intricacies of their production process.
During the meeting, participants explored fascinating topics related to energy and alternative light sources: how OLEDs work and their advantages over other light sources; the materials and technologies used in producing organic LEDs; and how science and technology serve as tools for creating environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solutions. The department also introduced the students to our international project, HELIOS, which unites researchers from Lviv Polytechnic and leading universities across Europe.
Students asked many insightful questions: why are OLEDs so thin and flexible? Is it possible to create an OLED at home? What is it like to be part of an international scientific project? The department staff were pleasantly surprised by the students' enthusiasm and eagerness to learn more about modern science.
"These meetings are our contribution to youth development. We believe such events can help students discover their calling and perhaps even start their journey into the world of science," said Serhiy Melnykov.
We extend our gratitude to the lyceum for the opportunity to share our knowledge! Together, we are creating a bright future!
