New Breakthrough Could Bring Holograms To Your Smart Phone And Into Daily Tasks An example of the HM and OLEDs at work together – credit, University of St. Andrews Until now, holograms have been created using lasers, but now researchers have used a new ensemble of components that could unleash this technology on the market. With their ubiquity in science fiction, and carrying the potential to transform smart devices, communication, gaming, and entertainment, holograms would be a major technological advancement, if we could find an easier way of projecting them. A team at the University of St. Andrews have found that ‘Holographic Metasurfaces’ (HMs) and Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) give a simpler and more compact approach that is potentially cheaper and easier to apply, overcoming the main barriers to hologram technology being used more widely. Organic light-emitting diodes are thin film devices widely used to make the colored pixels in mobile phone displays and some TVs. As a flat…
