OLED Breakthrough Yields 75% More Efficient Lights
Mike writes "Researchers at Korea's Advanced Institute of Science and Technology recently announced a breakthrough in OLED technology that reduces the ultra-thin lights' energy consumption by 75%. The discovery hinges upon a new method of creating 'surface plasmon enhanced' organic light emitting diodes that boast 1.75 times increased emission rates and double the light intensity." OLEDnet notes: "The finding was published in the April issue of Applied Physics Letters and the June 25 issue of Optics Express. It will be also featured as the research highlight of the August issue of Nature Photonics and Virtual Journal of Ultrafast Science."
I'm just going to buy lights that are 75% brighter.
If we need to use whales for this then that is fine as long as we start a breeding program to accelerate the replacement of the culled whales. Maybe we could harvest eggs and sperm from harpooned whales, then create embryos and mature them in an artificial uterus, then release them back out to nature to grow where they could be harpooned and the cycle would continue and we could increase the number of whales in the oceans exponentially.
I think we should name the company Mobil-Dick.

Now _that_ is a cool name for a scientific journal. I can imagine reading it now...
[Me]: Wow, OLED's use 75% less energy now!
-turns pages-
[Me]: Oh, fusion! That was fast!
I have mine hooked up to a 65" 1080p DLP TV in my living room. Unfortunately, I'm always afraid someone driving by will look through the blinds. Hehehe...

Oh joy.
Has that Google Streetview van passed by your place yet?
:).
If they haven't maybe you should plan something extra special for them
