Organic Light Emitting Devices To The Masses


One of the most recent inventions in the field of light emitting devices may modify the way people light their homes and design clothes. The device represents a thin film of plastic able to carry out electricity and generate solar power.
Scientists working on the international project are looking ahead to bring the organic light emitting devices to the masses. Thus the success of this invention could significantly cut costs by billions of dollars each year.
Due to the reality that the organic light emitting devices are very thin and supple, electronic display screens could be with no trouble created on nearly every material, thus, for example, clothing could, for the first time in history, display specific electronic information.
There are various ways of using this OLED, like for example modify the color of clothes, beer would be clever to display various sports results. In addition the OLED is much more resourceful than the light bulb used today.
Currently these plans are used in mobile phones and MP3 players. However, such OLED is not quite reliable for large TV or computer screens.
In order to create the device more efficient so later to open it to mass market, the international consortium of researches, Modecom, headed by the University of Bath, United Kingdom, started a three-year project which will cost about $1,700,000.
