A research team from the University of Toronto has found a way of using chlorine to double the efficiency of OLED displays.
The PC World website reports that researchers engineered a sheet of chlorine one atom thick, placing it on a market flat panel display. When switched to its brightest setting, the results showed that efficiency was doubled, compared to an untreated product.
While OLED products are known for their efficiency, when increasing the brightness of a display, efficiency does suffer. It is hoped the chlorine layer, while overcoming this problem, will also eliminate the need for stacked layers. This could lead to cheaper devices.
