A University of Florida engineer has crafted a nickel-sized imaging device that uses organic light-emitting diode technology similar to that found in laptop screens for night vision. The device is paper-thin, light and inexpensive, making it a possible add-on for cell phones. Other applications could include night vision technology for car windshields, or even for standard glasses to use at night. A paper detailing the infrared-to-vision device was published in a recent issue of Advanced Materials. read more
