OLEDWorks has announced its involvement in a groundbreaking study published in Nature Photonics. The paper, titled “Positive-feedback organic light-emitting diodes and upconverters,” marks a significant leap forward in display and communication technologies, thanks to a dynamic collaboration with Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and the University of Michigan (UoM).
This exciting research introduces innovative devices that combine organic photodiodes (OPDs) with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), using positive feedback to convert near-infrared light into visible light and amplify it up to 100 times. This remarkable achievement was made possible through the state-of-the-art fabrication facilities and unparalleled expertise at OLEDWorks.
The power of collaborative innovation
The devices were expertly crafted at OLEDWorks using pre-patterned metal and glass substrates and advanced vacuum thermal evaporation techniques, followed by encapsulation. Rigorous testing was conducted at both OLEDWorks and in partnership with PSU and UoM, showcasing the power of collaborative innovation.
OLEDWorks employees Jon-Paul S. DesOrmeaux and John W. Hamer were directly involved and played key roles in the experimental design, device fabrication, and data analysis processes. Their dedication, combined with the advanced manufacturing capabilities and proprietary materials of OLEDWorks, were instrumental in achieving these groundbreaking results.
