MIT Develops Quantum-Dot OLEDs

deglr6328 writes "Researchers at MIT have developed a new type of Organic Light emitting Diode (OLED) using Cadmium Selenium Quantum Dots as the electron-hole recombination layer. It is widely believed that the next generation of flexible flat panel display technologies will be self luminous (non-backlit) organic light emitting diodes. However, the efficiency and lifespan of both small molecule and polymer type OLEDs, to date, has been poor for small wavelength emitting compounds. Using quantum dots as the emissive layer in OLEDs potentially solves both of these problems since they are inorganic and won't degrade, and they have a theoretical maximum quantum efficiency of near 100%. Mmmmm ... can't wait to buy my first roll-up display!"

Nope, you fail, you are a failure, you should be ashamed of being put to failure by some KKK troll, go bury yourself somewhere in desert.

Is it just me, or should that Grad Student pictured here on the page be more concerned about inventing a better haircut?

He looks like an escapee of a TJ Hooker episode gone wrong.

There's a place called the rain forest that truely suck ass
Let's knock it all down and get rid of it fast
You say save the rain forest, but what do you know?
You've never been to the rain forest before.
Getting gay with kids is here
To tell you things you might not like to hear
You only fight these causes because caring sells
All you activist can go fuck yourselves

and some day if we work hard boys and girls
there will be no more rain forest left in the entire world

waaell

Getting gay with kids is here
to spread the word and bring you cheer
yahh
Getting gay with kids is here
lets knock down the rain forest
what do ya see
it's totally gay
it's totally gay!
