Say goodbye to the bulky bulbs that light your homes. The scientists seem to have come up with LED lights that are organic. Organic light! Does not it sound strange?
Compared to tungsten bulbs, this organic light consists of just two layers of phosphorescent diodes and one layer of fluorescent diodes that more efficiently releases white light. These diode layers are only 10 nanometers thick. And when unpowered, they are completely transparent.
Though Organic LEDs are expensive, they have effectively innovated over the age-old technology. Electrical engineer Stephen Forrest of the University of Michigan said,
A 100-watt bulb is about 15 lumens per watt and we’re at about 25 lumens per watt just on the lab bench
