"Flexible, lightweight and economical with energy: organic light emitting diodes are making it out of the lab and into the marketplace, and Professor Stephen Forrest has been a major driver of that progress.

Already showing up in smartphones and high-end monitors and televisions, OLEDs are poised to replace liquid crystal displays and improve the efficiency of lighting. But there are still problems to be solved before these applications are practical.

Professor Forrest will speak on this topic during his Distinguished University Professor lecture, set for 4 p.m. Thursday in the Rackham Graduate School Amphitheatre, with a reception following from 5-6 p.m. in the Assembly Hall. Distinguished University Professorships are the highest professorial title granted at U-M."
