A paper-thin device that uses energy-efficient organic LED technology similar to that found in flat-screen TV and laptop computer screens soon could be made into a night vision application for cell phone cameras. “Really, this is a very inexpensive device,” said Franky So, a University of Florida researcher and professor of materials science and engineering. “Incorporating it into a cell phone might not be a big deal.” Conventional night vision devices use massive amounts of electricity. The technology entails converting invisible infrared light photons into...Read full article
