Researchers at the University of Michigan have come up with a clever way of turning darkness into night vision with a new OLED approach thinner than paper – all while using off-the-shelf parts and existing OLED manufacturing processes.

Now, University of Michigan researchers have developed a new type of OLED (organic light emitting diode) that has the potential to replace bulky night vision goggles with lightweight glasses. This advancement could make night vision technology more affordable and practical for extended use.
