What They Say
Scientists at Imperial College, London, have developed a way to make OLEDs that emit chiral light (efficiently polarised. The material is based on ‘fusilli pasta’-shaped layers which can be created using achiral polymers with ‘just a pinch of chiral additives’.
What We Think
Art wrote about earlier work from Imperial on chiral OLEDs and we’re planning another article with more depth on this latest paper. Having polarised light eliminates the need for a polarising filter on the OLED and allowing much higher brightness. (BR)
