LED Research Finds A Way To Improve Operating Efficiency
March 21, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Osaka Metropolitan University scientists succeeded in directly observing how LECs change their electronic state. Light Emitting electrochemical Cells are attracting attention as one of the post-organic LEDs. LEC observation shows they change their electronic state over time during field emission. OMU scientists found the result by measuring their optical absorption via lamp light […]

New OLED Could Keep Devices Running Longer Per Charge
June 29, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University of Michigan researchers have developed a new electrode that could free up 20% more light from organic light-emitting diodes. It could help extend the battery life of smartphones and laptops, or make next-gen televisions and displays much more energy efficient. The approach prevents light from being trapped in the light-emitting part of an […]

2D Perovskites May Make Better LEDs and Solar Cells
April 15, 2021 | 1 Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Surrey engineers’ innovative analysis of two-dimensional (2D) materials could boost the development of next-generation solar cells and LEDs. Three-dimensional perovskites have proved themselves remarkably successful materials for LED devices and solar panels in the past decade. One key issue with these materials, however, is their stability, with device performance decreasing quicker than […]

Hybrid Perovskites Properties Become Better Understood
December 30, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Kobe University’s Associate Professor Tachikawa Takashi and Dr. Karimata Izuru have succeeded in completely substituting the halide ions of perovskite nanocrystals (see #1 below) while maintaining their morphology and light-emitting efficiency. Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (see #2 below) have received much attention as potential next generation solar cells and as materials for light-emitting devices. By using […]
