Blue OLED efficiency up by 25%

We find ourselves at an awkward stage in technology, we demand more performance from devices such as laptops, phones and televisions, but we also want them to be energy efficient as possible. Most of the problem is with the display, most laptops use an LCD screen, but OLED is where the future lies, this is why Apple (AAPL) and LG (066570) are working together to offer us OLED displays.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been working hard and have come up with blue phosphorescent OLED, this increases efficiency up to 25 percent, this helps to solve the one problem with OLED, development of cost-effective white OLEDs.

Long lasting blue light was always a problem, and is needed to accompany red and green, so it is a major breakthrough for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. All new devices are looking at using OLED screens; it is thought that the next version of the iPhone will also have an OLED display.

This news only conforms on an article that we had covered last week, which OLED TV sales set to boom in 2011.
