The National Science Foundation awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships federal grant program (CFDA 47.084) to develop more stable and efficient organic light-emitting diodes for applications in horticulture and architectural lighting. Specifically, the awardee will work to improve the efficiency and stability of blue emission and overall light extraction from OLED sources through nanotechnology approaches such as plasmonic electrodes. OLEDs offer improved spectral qualities over conventional LEDs but stability and efficiency issues have limited commercial adoption for lighting. The proposed technology has the potential to increase blue OLED stability by a factor of 3.6 and enhance efficiency to meet the high luminance demands of architectural and horticultural applications. Successful completion of this research could enable the development of sustainable OLED light sources with energy efficiency comparable to LEDs and enhanced color rendering for indoor agriculture and general illumination.
