Material Offers Efficient, Sustainable Emission for OLEDs
BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 6, 2024 — A new, 3D-printable material that is a highly efficient emitter could lead to cheaper, more sustainable manufacturing processes for OLED devices. The material, called supramolecular ink, demonstrated the ability to convert nearly all absorbed light into visible light during the emission process. Although OLEDs are lighter, thinner, and more energy-efficient than other flat-panel technologies, and provide a higher-quality image, they often contain rare, expensive metals like iridium.
