With all its advantages, LCD screens have a number of disadvantages associated with the high cost of filters, limitations in brightness and contrast, as well as the complexity of disposal. A group of scientists from Germany and Spain intends to make displays cheaper and more environmentally friendly through the use of 3D-printed backlight based on luminescent proteins.
Researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, led by Spanish professor Ruben Costa, created an experimental display using luminous proteins of different colors. “The quantum yield of luminescence exceeds 75%, guaranteeing high efficiency. In addition, proteins emit light in a narrow range, allowing you to achieve high-quality color reproduction and avoid color changes as a result of degradation, ”says Professor Costa.
Proteins are placed in a polymer matrix made on a 3D printer. As the head of the study explains, organic light sources and filters will not only improve contrast and brightness, but also improve the energy efficiency of TV screens and mobile devices. In addition, the new technology will create flexible displays and significantly reduce production costs.
