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."

    yet another breakthrough happening in a foreign country where freedom isn't just a slogan on their fiat currency. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is warning that we have to spend even more money (that we don't have) to avoid bankruptcy. Because the cure for excessive government spending is even more government spending. At least according to big government liberals, a term that applies to most democrats and republicans.

    Mod me down but spend a couple minutes thinking about the future. Where's the hope?
