N2 - Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are used almost exclusively for display purposes. Even when implemented as a sensing component, it is rarely in a manner that exploits the possible compliance of the OLED. Here, it is shown that OLEDs can be integrated into compliant mechanical micro devices making a new range of applications possible. A light-modulating pressure sensor is considered, whereby the OLED is integrated with a silicon membrane. It is shown that such devices have potential and advantages over current measurement techniques. An analytical model has been developed that calculates the response of the device.
