AI Article Synopsis
- The skin is increasingly exposed to blue light from electronic devices, leading to harmful effects that this review explores.
- Numerous studies indicate that blue light exposure can accelerate skin aging, cause hyperpigmentation, and disrupt circadian rhythms, with nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species playing key roles in the process.
- Protective measures against blue light exposure may be important to mitigate its negative impact on skin health.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The skin is frequently subjected to a variety of environmental trauma and stress. It is unavoidably subjected to blue light due to the increased use of electronic equipment, including indoor lighting and digital gadgets like smartphones and laptops, which have a range of detrimental effects. The method of action and numerous harmful consequences of blue light on the skin are the main subjects of this review.
Materials And Methods: A literature search has been performed using PubMed, GoogleScholar and EmBase databases and an updated review on the topic has been presented.
Results: Numerous studies have shown that being exposed to blue light accelerates the aging process and produces cutaneous hyperpigmentation. It also modifies the circadian rhythm. The two main molecules that mediate cellular responses to blue light are nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species. However, the precise process is still not fully known.
Conclusion: These negative consequences may eventually cause more general skin damage, which may hasten the aging process. At times, skin protection may be crucial for protection against blue light.

Reducing aggregation caused quenching and enhancing stability is crucial in the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes. Herein, we successfully fabricated blue-emitting coordination polymer glasses using perylene dye and a zinc-based coordination glass. The aggregation of perylene monomers in the solid state was significantly suppressed, and the hybrid glass demonstrated high stability and strong photoluminescent quantum yield (75.

Hindered tetraphenylethylene (hTPE) helicates are resolved into two left-handed (M) and right-handed (P) isomers by linkage and removal of chiral auxiliary (1,2,5)-menthol, furnishing gram-scale hTPE enantiomers via flash silica column chromatography. hTPE helicate enantiomers bearing electron-accepting cyano and electron-donating triphenylamine groups can emit deep-blue CPL signals with a fluorescence quantum yield surpassing 50%. Full-color and white-light emission were achieved by blending them with dyes in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film.
