The two primary components of hyperfluorescence – a term coined by scientist Chihaya Adachi and trademarked by display materials specialist Kyulux – are the sensitizer molecule and the terminal emitter molecule. The sensitizer is supposed to efficiently transfer energy into the terminal emitter, which then emits a pure color. "A really important thing with hyperfluorescence is making sure that the energy actually goes where you want it to, in the right order," noted Congrave. In the past, a matrix was used to stop energy from being distributed incorrectly – a phenomenon known as "Dexter transfer." Adding a matrix increases the number of components used to three or more, making production more complicated and thus potentially more expensive. However, the researchers bypassed the need for a matrix by insulating the terminal emitter with what they termed covalent encapsulation. This allowed for hyperfluorescent OLEDs that exhibited improved efficiency and color purity. The main objective of the study was to find a commercially viable method that achieves better efficiency – specifically for the blue part of OLEDs. An added bonus may be increased resilience to burn-in, which has caused issues even on the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max . However, Dr Congrave stressed to us that this isn't a version of OLED that completely stops burn-in from happening. It's just a natural consequence of reducing power consumption, which is highest on blue sub-pixels. Anything detailed in a research paper phase is far from production ready, so don't expect any OLED monitors or TVs to incorporate this method of hyperfluorescence any time soon. But no doubt Samsung or Sony's marketing machines will turn this tech – or something very like it – into "HyperBlue" or some other nonsense eventually. ® Share
