OLED (organic light-emitting diode) takes another step forward in its advancement towards becoming more energy efficient as an organic display can be. Chinese chemists have discovered a simple to make soluable iridium complex that boosts the efficiency of the OLED's.

This means the discovery could simplify the manufacturing process plus reduce the processing and manufacturing costs of OLED displays, screens and panels of all sizes and shapes ( ie: FOLED - Flexible OLED).

The OLED screens / displays / panels have a number of advantages over LCD ( Liquid Crystal Displays). The main one being that the light created by OLED, an organic type of technology is by exciting of the organic polymers with a power source compared to LCD which utilizes a backlight method to shine through onto the viewing screen to create the colours and final viewing image. Due to the nature of OLED' s design, they are extremely thin, from 3mm-9mm on average today plus super vivid colours not too mention the ultra-high contrast ratio @ 1 million:1 on the Sony XEL-1 TV for example.

So with OLED there is no backlight, use less power and are super-thin and lightweight, material scientists are working on some very cool stuff that will one day work its way into our daily lives, and not too far into the future by the way things are progressing it seems. The biggest and most pressing issue however with OLED tech is the efficiency of harnessing the light. Light created from the polymers is that it's "emissive" (its own light creation) phosphorescent material layer is then also required in any FPD, this then converts the radiation that would otherwise be wasted, into visible light in turn raising the clarity and brightness as an added boost to the OLED efficiency.

They have discovered that the best materials to increase the efficiency of harnessing those illusive photons, is a complex of iridium (lll) consisting of large cyclic ligands which grant the stability, rapid response time plus access to the colours across the visible spectrum. These added steps however do not come without cost since making these complexes requires pricey catalysts plus high temperatures and applying the catalysts to the polymers is a complex and complicated process. That is why so far OLED screen sizes have been limited to smaller physical sizes to date.

However, it looks like a team from led by Biao Wang at Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China, has solved some major issues by developing a highly soluable iridium complex that is easy to make and ultmately could be sprayed onto a surface. The choice of the ligand was the major factor in breaking the discovery open says, Biao Wang, who stated that sterically-hindered phenolic groups was the key. It was apparently " an unexpected event" when they synthesized under mild conditions with no catalysts, simply from iridium chloride, a complex compound, which combines iridium with three phenyl phthalazine-derived ligands.

This is certainly a huge discovery for the upcoming development of larger OLED style FDP's - (Flat Panel Displays), offering better energy savings along with an unimaginable even better picture.

GE TO BRING ORGANIC LIGHT TO LIFE

GE's FOLED PROTO-TYPE LIGHTING

General Electric Global Research of Niskayuna, New York, the central research division of GE, an obvious giant among industry, has announced a major milestone to "go green" with the expansion of their OLED Lighting production facilities. They have proceeded to advance within the ever fascinating OLED business by introducing their plans devised for a new rolled OLED production manufacturing facility. This was a 4 year, $13 million collaboration between GE Global, Energy Conversion Devices Inc. (ECD builds the production machinery and supplies the expertise to create the OLED roll-to-roll process) and the U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

GE has a process that will eventually create organic panels that will be punched out kind of like a cookie cutter in comparison, for use within all types of products of all shapes, sizes, styles including many other varieties of OLED, like FOLED (Flexible Organic Light-Emitting Diode) and AMOLED) Active Matrix Light-Emitting Diode) for example. The process can be likened to a newspaper web press offset printing method where huge rolls of paper-thin organic sheets can be imprinted with the organic compounds for use then within all types of products of an entirely new genre. OLED lighting sheets will be created for applications from residential and commercial lighting to possibly someday for use in space.

At present GE is in the research stages by demonstrating their approach to how the OLED lights will operate but mass production is around two years away in the industry's estimations. With this roll-to-roll process GE's OLED light production ultimate goal is designed to eventually replace traditional light bulbs and flourescent tubes by creating OLED light sheets that are ultra-thin, lightweight, organic in nature, with the ability to save energy and produce a naturally appealing light for humans.
Sounds like a winner to me, where do we get them?? Sorry but it won't be for another 2+ years minimum at least and then some until GE's facility is up and into mass production for retail worldwide.

General Electric doesn't go BIG unless they know exactly what's coming, since they are one of the big conglomerates that created the trends plus not too mention the fact that they created the lightbulb...... GE was formed in 1892 with a merger of Edison Electric Light Co. and Thomson-Houston Electric Co), so today it only makes sense they have committed to take this cool new OLED technology and start to produce super energy efficient, eco lights that will one day become as common an item in our daily lives just as the incandescent lightbulb once was o'so long ago.


Edison's main specialty was and under GE today, it still is LIGHT. This means if GE's involved in OLED technology, a long line of others are right behind them ready to grab a piece of the OLED pie. Those corporations, investors, inventors, speculators, and the like who are switched on enough ........ (get it ?) will be lining up to supply this new fangled organic lighting to the world. That spells a boatload of business and profits for all of those that take heed. But anyway you look at it, OLED in ALL forms is GOLED (Gold, get it? I'm on tonite folks) !!
