The Universal Display Corporation released a video about their phosphorescent organic LED (PHOLED) ceiling tile recently – it's an OLED using the principle of electrophosphorescence to efficiently convert electricity into light. UDC and Armstrong World Industries is getting two million bucks over two years to work on this project – I expect good things. About [...]

Now every solid state device needs to come with a hole punch and some scissors so I can cut light into pieces. <chirp, chirp> I'll be right back, I have to run to the joke [...]

Chris just did some more programming on another work, this time an OLED love fest with Philips' LumiBlade OLEDs and a company in London called rAndom international. "You Fade to Light" is a project that takes your [...]

This is a very, very cool product, as many of Philips' products happen to be, and I like it. I will say this, and [...]
Read More frustrated, LumiBlade, OLED, philipsA German company called NovaLED will be revealing what they're calling a "fault-tolerant OLED" at Finetech Japan in May. The NovaLED OLED will apparently be resistant of electrical shorts and faults which have, in its short history, killed other OLEDs. The NovaLED OLED is intended for large area illumination or long maintenance cycle applications. From [...]

OLED technology has been lacking a real solid blue in research so far, and the folks at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have gotten a 25% increase in blue light output from a blue [...]

Modistech has developed a super-thin, flexible OLED panel that looks pretty awesome. There are not a lot of details right now [...]
