Chlorine -- it's not just for keeping your clothes white and your pool clean anymore! Soon, layers of the stuff, just a single atom thick, could play a pivotal role in
OLED manufacturing. Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that this tiny amount of Cl can almost double the
efficiency of existing displays while reducing complexity and driving down costs. Using a rather simple procedure involving UV light, the team was able to chlorinate standard electrode panels found in conventional OLEDs without having toxic chlorine gas wafting about. While this is good news for manufacturers, it's even better news for consumers. We've been
itching to mount a big, organic flat-screen in our
parents' basement living room. Finally, we may see cheap OLED TVs on Walmart shelves -- right next to the Clorox.
