Interlayed Perovskites Create Ultrathin OLED for Large Displays

摘要

By combining thin organic layers with thick layers of hybrid perovskite, researchers at Kyushu University in Japan have developed micrometer-thick organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that could improve the affordability and viewing angles of high-performance displays and televisions in the near future. OLEDs use layers of organic molecules to efficiently convert electricity into light. The molecules, though great emitters, are generally poor electrical conductors, and the only way is to achieve materials as thin as 100nm, or about 1/500 the thickness of a human hair. Only by using such thin layers can electricity easily reach where emission occurs in the middle of devices.
