Polariton Assisted White Light Generation in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
The global lighting market consumes 20 % of total electric power generated, producing an enormous 400 million metric tons of CO2 annually. The need for more efficient light sources has driven the blossoming of light-emitting diode (LED) research and technology. However, inorganic LEDs for solid-state lighting contain rare earth and toxic heavy metal traces that have negative environmental impacts. Recently, organic LEDs (OLEDs) have been introduced as promising general lighting sources. Unlike LEDs, OLEDs can be fabricated using energy-efficient processes and ecological materials. Therefore, the hazards of LEDs can be addressed by shifting to OLED lighting. Currently, the best OLED lamps…
