OLED technology company eMagin has announced a partnership with the University of Rochester to develop high efficiency lighting systems.
The research is being funded by the US Department of Energy, and will look at ways to triple the current output of light from OLEDs. The partnership will work on developing technologies that use nano-particle based plasmonic scattering of light, according to a report on the Marketwatch website. This will release more potential of OLED lighting, which is seen as a product which will lower carbon emissions while optimising energy consumption in the US.
The developments could also help eMagin to make its current microdisplay technology even more efficient, improving prospects for use in military, commercial and industrial markets.
