Search OLED Illumination: 99% savings by eliminating the heat

January 19th, 2009

The light bulbs use about one quarter of the energy needs of the United States and one of the most important is that a lot of energy is dissipated into heat, then it is wasted.
A group of researchers at the University of North Texas, finanaziato by the U.S. Department of Energy, three years is making promising research on OLEDs applied to ' light .
The objective of the 15 members of the team is to produce a light source much more efficiently thereby saving significant resources and at the same time reducing emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere.
With an investment of 100 million dollars over the next year, it is estimated that the first bulbs coming to homes around 2015, allowing a cost savings of 99% said the project leader of research dr. Omari: a 9-volt battery you can turn on a light bulb.

The researchers also putano who wants to overcome the classic white light produced by the three components red blue and green that are stabilized in different ways and can lead to discoloration with extended use.
The solution to the study would be to produce white light directly without the primary, using organic molecules derived from certain materials like gold, silver, copper and platinum.
The project is proving to be particularly interesting as it has already entered the phase known as "patented", and has even exceeded the quality requirements of the Department of Energy.
