3D Printing an OLED Display
In exciting new research, MSI PI Michael McAlpine (professor, Mechanical Engineering) led a team that used a 3D printer to create a flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. These displays are normally produced in expensive clean-room facilities, but the team was able to create a working device by combining two different modes of printing with their custom-built printer. The OLED display is flexible and can be packaged in an encapsulating material, which gives it a wide variety of possible uses.
