Stanford researchers have developed a high efficiency OLED device by nanopatterning the electrode layer to create a high impedance metasurface (HIM) that reduces 'plasmonic' losses. A typical metal cathode traps a large portion of generated light in an OLED.
Stanford researchers have recently patented a hybrid LED-LCD screen suitable for applications ranging from large televisions to small mobile displays and capable of significantly reducing power consumption to as little as 1/20th that of conventional design
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
Solar cells containing halide perovskite absorbers have shown large improvements in power conversion efficiency over the last eight years and now exceed 20%. This makes them competitive with many commercial technologies like polycrystalline silicon and CdTe.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
