Light Thin Displays begins polymer display pilot line
The company uses polymer light emitters with an active matrix containing
polymer transistors as the basis for low-cost displays.
Printed
Transistor Inc. looks to flexible substrates
This Princeton University spin-off is commercializing an amorphous-silicon
process designed for low cost displays and image sensors made on plastic
and flexible foil substrates.
Organic
LEDs poised for take off
Organic LEDs (OLEDs) appear to be reaching critical mass as a next-generation
flat-panel display technology. A display-industry report released by Stanford
Resources Inc. projects dramatic growth for OLEDs over the next few years,
as several companies make strides in bringing the technology to the commercial
market in record time.
Lucent
plus E Ink E-books
Lucent Technologies and E Ink Corp. will work together to develop next-generation
electronic books that resemble sheets of flexible plastic.
Disposable
Flexible Display Project
A Cornell University team plans to integrate polymer devices with flexible
amorphous silicon.
Organic
LEDs take display confab by a 'nose'
The most exotic development next month at the Society for Information
Display conference will be an electronic nose made out of organic polymers.
In fact, applications of organic light-emitting-diode displays (OLEDs)
will be the rage of the conference.
Light-emitting polymer leaps to full color
Dow and CDT announce a better blue-emitting polymer for full-color organic-LED
displays.
Organic
LEDs ramp for low-cost displays
Organic light-emitting-diode displays (OLEDs) have already been integrated
into car radios, and they'll be in cell phones before the year is out.
