Tunable Polymer Could Make Truly White OLED

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 13, 2013 — Doping an organic polymer with platinum atoms makes the light it emits tunable, which could lead to the realization of cheaper, more efficient and truly white OLEDs. Existing white OLED displays use different organic polymers that emit different colors, arranged in red, green and blue pixels that must be combined or converted to make white light. “This new polymer has all those colors simultaneously, so no need for small pixels and complicated engineering to create them,” said Z. Valy Vardeny, a physicist at the University of Utah. Vardeny and a team of international...Read full article

    Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating structural units called monomers. These monomers are chemically bonded together to form long chains or networks, creating a macromolecular structure. The process of linking monomers together is known as polymerization. Polymers can be classified into several categories based on their structure, properties, and mode of synthesis. Some common types of polymers include: Synthetic polymers: These are human-made polymers produced through...
