Scientists in Germany claim to have come up with the smallest light-emitting pixels yet devised by humankind (via ). Physicists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg have developed a new OLED panel technology with pixels measuring just 300 nm across.
That's a full order of magnitude smaller than the most diminutive existing light-emitting pixels, but the researchers claim their teensy pixels put out just as much light. Moreover, if you do the math, you'll discover that this new technology enables a 1080p display measuring less than one millimetre across.
The Würzburg team say they have come up with a new insulation layer which narrows the transmission of electrical current and enables reliable, long-term operation.
Or as the researchers put it
in their paper, , "we use an insulating layer covering the electrode but featuring a nanoaperture in its center to suppress hole injection from nanoelectrode edges by insulating its peripheral corners and edges".
"This effectively mitigates detrimental effects caused by electric field hotspots in these regions and results in stable device operation with balanced charge carrier transport and recombination dynamics." Well, obviously.
Our understanding is that this [[link]] technology is very much in the early stages, has issues with energy efficiency and does not not as yet support full-colour RGB implementations. So, it's not about to make ultra-high res AR glasses a thing next week.
But the researchers are apparently working to iron out those kinks and if in a decade or so we're all wearing dual-UHD AR glasses, this is perhaps where it all started. Check back in 10 years, peeps.

I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
