Researchers at Kyushu University have developed a novel organic molecule that simultaneously exhibits two highly sought-after properties: efficient light emission suitable for advanced displays and strong light absorption for deep-tissue bioimaging. This breakthrough addresses a long-standing challenge in molecular design, paving the way for next-generation multifunctional materials.

Their study, published online in the journal Advanced Materials on July 29, 2025, was conducted in collaboration with the National Taipei University of Technology and...

Researchers demonstrate the possibility of using ultrastable film formation to improve the performance of state-of-the-art OLEDs. The researchers show in a detailed study significant increases of efficiency and operational stability (>15% for both parameters and all cases, significantly higher for individual samples) are achieved for 4 differentultrastable glasses,.
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) truly have matured enough to allow for first commercial products in form of small and large displays. In order to compete in further markets and even open new possibilities (automotive lighting, head-mounted-displays, micro displays, etc...
