Tunable Polymer Could Make Truly White OLED

Doping an organic polymer with platinum atoms makes the light it emits tunable, which could lead to the realization of cheaper, more efficient and truly white OLEDs.

Existing white OLED displays use different organic polymers that emit different colors, arranged in red, green and blue pixels that must be combined or converted to make white light. “This new polymer has all those colors simultaneously, so no need for small pixels and complicated engineering to create them,” said Z. Valy Vardeny, a physicist at the University of Utah.

Displays would look alot better I think if OLEDs could emit their own white light instead of having to make it up from various colors. You wouldn't end up with that blueish - purplish hue (which is something my RGB matrix's seem to suffer from
