Singapore researchers removed the last obstacle on the OLED way

The technology of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) is very attractive – OLED-displays have high brightness, good color and high energy efficiency. In addition, they can be flexible. Unfortunately, technology has a number of restrictions that hamper its widespread introduction, the most critical of which was short-lived. The reason for short life of OLED – vulnerability to the impact of water and oxygen, causing corrosion OLED.

Manufacturers solved the problem by sealing complicated technical processes, but only partially. The final decision seems to have managed to find researchers working in the Singapore Institute of Materials (IMRE, Institute of Materials Research and Engineering). Established here nano-film fully capable to protect OLED-displays and other similar structures, such as solar panels, from moisture . According to scientists, the effectiveness of it in 1000 times surpasses any other solution, so that new technology may well make a revolution in microelectronics.

IMRE team already is negotiating with manufacturers of solar batteries, lighting and flexible displays. With some companies signed agreements aimed at commercialization.
