The physical properties of Deuterium and Deuterium Labeled Compounds can exhibit significant kinetic isotope effects and other physical and chemical property differences from the hydrogen analogs. This fact will be used in different applications of Deuterium.

LG Display unveiled its latest OLED TV technology, branded as OLED EX. LG says that these WOLED panels combine new deuterium compounds and personalized algorithms to improve the image quality and increase brightness by up to 30%. EX is an acronym of Evolution and eXperience.

LG Display says that it has "successfully converted the hydrogen elements present in organic light emitting elements into stable deuterium". LGD extracts the deuterium compounds from water, and after stabilization, the compounds allow the OLED devices to be brighter - and also last longer.

US-based stable isotopes and compound producer Cambridge Isotope Laboratories announced that it is expanding its deuterated benzene capacity at the company's production plant in Xenia, Ohio.

CIL says its Xenia expansion will increase its deuterated benzene capacity six times. Bromobenzene-d5 is used in the production of OLED displays (among other uses) and CIL reports that it was increased demand for this material which initiated the capacity expansion project and investment.
