The holy grail of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/oled/">OLED</a> is upon us.

These gurus have conjured up new host materials for a blue phosphorescent OLED that's at least 25 percent more efficient than existing blue OLEDs, but regrettably, details beyond that are few and far between. Word on the street has it that PNNL scientists are expected to gather and discuss the findings before heading to a meeting of the American Chemical Society later this spring, and we'll be crossing our fingers that whatever they've found is both a) cheap and b) easily implementable.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.oled-display.net/new-materials-boost-efficiency-of-blue-oleds-by-25">OLED-Display</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/oled/" rel="tag">OLED</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/23/scientists-purportedly-improve-blue-oled-efficiency-by-25/">Scientists purportedly improve blue OLED efficiency by 25%</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 23 Mar 2009 03:43:00 EST.
