    light of different colors – a step toward more efficient, less expensive
    and truly white organic LEDs for light bulbs of the future.
    "These new, platinum-rich polymers hold promise for white organic
    light-emitting diodes and new kinds of more efficient solar cells," says
    University of Utah physicist Z. Valy Vardeny, who led a study of the
    polymers.
