Researchers at Arizona State University have developed
organic materials having strong phosphorescent emission in the near infrared
region (i.e., from about 650 nm to about 2000 nm, or from about 650 nm to about
1000 nm) using organometallic complexes. These complexes offer high efficiency,
wavelength-tunable phosphorescent emitters in the fabrication of near infrared
phosphorescent organic light emitting devices (PhOLEDs) and/or as absorbers in
organic solar cells.
Potential Applications
- Night Vision Devices
- Military
- Security
- Bio-imaging
- Display Units (digital cameras, mp3 players, etc)
- Auto Industry
Benefits and Advantages
- High Device Efficiency
- Wavelength Tunable
- IR emission for the first time
- Improved Lifetime (Stability)
- Easy to Synthesize
