Study of fireflies boosts OLED efficiency by over 60 per cent

Scientists looked at the structure of the ‘lantern’ in which fireflies hold their chemicals.

Unless you leave your TV on for a couple of months displaying the same image it's not a problem.

Burn in really isn't an issue unless you plan on using your tv to show plane schedules or leave it on the sky menu for days at a time.

Very nice indeed

Hexus: any chance you can keep us updated on news on this when it hopefully gets picked up by a monitor manufacturer?

The problem with such technology is that it sometimes falls by the wayside, so we get all excited about it and then it never commercialises.

Really hoping I might be able to look into an OLED monitor in 2017, when I look to upgrade my current rig, but OLED technology progression is practically glacial.

You're combining two potential issues with OLED in that statement.

Firstly, I believe you meant blue pixel *burn out*, since the issue with "blue" in OLED is that it has a significantly lower lifespan than red and green.

Secondly, one characteristic OLED shares with plasma (and to a somewhat lesser extent LCD) is the potential risk of burn in. However, like with plasma, this is mainly an issue when displaying the same pixel structure over a lengthy time period. TV station logos come to mind.

OLED is not suitable tech for a computer monitor. It works for phones, because they arent on for long periods at a time and works for TVs because static images are not common in TV viewing (apart from channel logos).
