OLED TV Display Lighting Infos-News and resources

Great news today from the researchers from Singapores institute of materials research and engineering (imre) and the university of Michigan.

Both developed a blue organic light emitting diode with an efficiency that is double that of the maximum theoretical efficiency limit.This paves the way for longer-lasting, more efficient and vivid OLED displays for the consumer market.
Blue is always a problem because blue OLED materials does not have so long lifetimes like red, green.

University of Michigan engineering researchers have designed an exceptionally efficient fluorescent blue OLED.

“Our results clearly indicate that fluorescent material have a bright future for highly efficient and stable OLEDs for flat-panel display and lighting applications,” Kieffer said.

This was accomplished by redesigning a material being utilized by U-M collaborators in Singapore using computer simulations.

University of Florida materials science and engineers have achieved a new record in efficiency of blue organic light-emitting diodes, or OLEDs. Because blue is essential to white light, the advance helps overcome a hurdle to lighting that is much more efficient than compact fluorescents — but can produce high-quality light similar to standard incandescent bulbs.

“The quality of the light is really the advantage,” said Franky So, a UF associate professor of materials science and engineering and the lead investigator on the project.
