NOVOSIBIRSK (Sputnik) — Russian scientists from the Novosibirsk State University (NSU) together with a group of experts from the Dutch University of Groningen have developed a substance, which can be used in the production of flexible displays for different electronic devices, the NSU press service said Wednesday.
"The scientists have developed a solid state substance on the basis of the furfurane-phenylene cooligomer with a quantum yield of luminescence of over 65 percent, which can be used for the production of organic light-emitting transistors and flexible electronic devices," the press service said.
According to Maxim Kazantsev, one of the authors of an article on the invention, organic solid state substances have a number of advantages in comparison with crystal silicon, usually used in electronic devices, including lightness, flexibility, translucency and cheapness of production.
The new substance may allow producing new kinds of electronic devices and gadgets, according to the scientist.
