I’m looking forward to the time where organic LEDs are used like those annoying clock LCDs you see stuck in pens, clocks your get free with magazine susbscriptions, and mouse pads.
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam are now studying ways to make OLEDs transparent, which will lead to a variety of new applications. While metal oxide coatings in earlier OLEDs made them opaque, researchers are investigating new transparent physical properties, as well as OLED and liquid crystal display hybrids.
