Shinshu University developed a CO2 sensor for the determination of photosynthesis by OLED light

The research team led by Professor Taniguchi Binwoong, a professor at the Department of fiber science, Shinshu University, Japan, has developed a "CO2 decrement measuring instrument" for the determination of plant photosynthesis by OLED". The use of the device can confirm that the light emitted by the OLED after irradiation of plants, plants, the role of light to accelerate, CO2 concentration decreased. The product will be used in primary and secondary schools and other educational institutions. Appearance for small design, easy to use on the podium. At present, the importance of reducing CO2 emissions to students in Japan and the rising demand for measures are expected to be used on such occasions. CO2 decrement measuring instrument

The CO2 decrement meter consists of a unit equipped with a OLED component and a CO2 sensor, and a cell equipped with a display screen of the CO2 concentration and another CO2 sensor. The OLED component emits red light for photosynthesis. With 2 CO2 sensors, it is possible to measure the concentration of CO2 in the vicinity of the OLED component of the illuminated plants, as well as the surrounding standard CO2 concentration.

Shinshu University plans to supply as much as possible in to reduce the sensor part of the trial sample. In addition, it is planned to set up the OLED component to adjust the hue required for photosynthesis.

CO2 reduction meter has been used as a result of Knowledge Cluster Initiative in Nagano prefecture. In the development process has also been assisted by the Japanese KANSEI Devices research group.
