Brighter flexible electroluminescent film by adopting eye structure of nocturnal animals
A research team led by Dr. Byeong-dae Choi of DGIST’s Intelligent Devices and Systems Research Group has developed an electroluminescent film that is four times brighter than existing ones. The new film can improve the luminance of electroluminescent devices by 422 percent compared to conventional ones by applying retro-reflection electrodes that adapt the principle of nocturnal animal eyes.
Electroluminescent (EL) refers to an optical and electrical phenomenon in which a material emits light in response to the passage of an electric current. Electroluminescent films using phosphor powder have advantages such as excellent durability in a deformed state due to flexibility and elasticity, and high efficiency despite low cost. However, it was difficult to put into practical use due to their low brightness.
In order to increase the brightness of electroluminescent devices, the research team paid attention to the eyes of nocturnal animals with high utilization efficiency of light. The researchers used the retro-reflection characteristics that the light returns to the light source without being dispersed in the retroreflective structure of the nocturnal animal eye while it is scattered in the normal reflection structure.
