Night vision based on OLED technology

AI Thread Summary
New OLED-based night vision technology developed by researchers at Florida University offers a promising alternative to traditional, bulky infrared image intensifiers. This innovative device is thinner, cheaper, and consumes less power, making it suitable for widespread applications beyond the military, including automotive and surveillance uses. The technology features a graphene layer as a sensor and multiple amplification layers, ultimately producing images through a phosphorus layer activated by electrons. While the timeline for mass production remains unclear, interest in acquiring this technology is high. Direct contact with the research team is encouraged for those seeking more information or updates on its availability.

Hello, I started this topic to discuss interesting new night vision technology that was presented on TED talks. Old, expensive and bulky IR (or other light spectrum) IIT amplifier could be replaced with very thin OLED based, cheaper and low power consuming image intensifier which was developed by scientists of Florida university Do Young Kim and Franki So. Because of that they could be used in mass scale not only by military but for cars, surveillance, cameras and almost eliminate need for artificial light.
I don't know when in the future this sort of NV will be mass produced but I want to get my hands this technology soon. Is it very sophisticated device to manufacture? As much as I read device is similar to plastic OLED, device consists of: graphene layer acting as sensor and seven layers that amplify signal, eventually phosphorus layer hit by electrons produces image. Is that correct?

I already wrote to Franki So by email, but still got no reply.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
