OLED technology is quickly gaining traction in the PC market and powers some of the best gaming monitors. However, the Achilles heel of OLEDs has always been its burn-in, which inevitably reduces the lifespan of OLED monitors and TVs. No one has been able to fully rectify this issue. However, a new OLED design philosophy created by researchers at the University of Cambridge and reported by Nature has the potential to kill off burn-in for good.
To address this, the University of Cambridge has developed a new OLED design that better controls the light from a blue-light-emitting diode and reduces its power consumption. The blue light-emitting diodes are covalently encapsulated by insulating alkylene straps.
