David Braun joined the Cal Poly Electrical Engineering Department in 1996 after working at Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven, the Netherlands between 1992 and 1996. In 1991, he completed the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at U.C. Santa Barbara. If you would like to ask David a question or simply give comment, click here.

Mechanically flexible displays are rapidly approaching the market. This section is designed to steer you toward background information and recent developments in several key display technologies. Below you will find the latest news, industry announcements on polymer and organic flexible displays along with displays made by ink-jet printing.

Infineon Likes Organic Electronics Infineon's ISSCC paper sees plastic chips progressing to systems-level circuit development, independent of substrate. OLEDs Even Appeal to LCD Makers Although larger LCD displays are available today, OLEDs look good in terms of production costs. Interest Grows in Organic Displays Progress in display technology, flexible circuits, and industrial collaborations means that manufacturing projects increase and new products reach the market. New Flexible-Display Collaboration Cooperation among DuPont Displays, Sarnoff Corp., and Bell Labs aims to improve active-matrix organic-TFT systems on flexible substrates. CDT Buys Opsys The deal centers around Opsys' dendrimer OLED technology. 14.7" OLED Display from Sanyo/Kodak This new prototype uses white OLEDs plus color filters to aim toward large high-definition displays. Increase in Taiwan OLED display production Ritek Display is ramping to ship a significant fraction of the world's OLED panels. Kodak OLED display evaluation kit The kit includes the AM550L Kodak display, a 2.16-inch diagonal full-color active-matrix display. Summary report from the SID conference "OLEDs pretty much stole the show." Report from the SID conference Participants see futures for both LCD and OLED displays, while Toshiba demos a 17-inch OLED panel. Report from the SID conference DuPont Displays and Clare Micronix show driver ICs for passive and active matrix OLED displays. Report from the SID conference Among new display concepts, Philips ships polymer OLED displays in volume. Dendrimer based OLEDs A team from Oxford University and the University of St. Andrews describes efficient OLEDs made from dendrimers. Ink-jet printing offers options A University of Arizona group explores how to print organic circuits and displays. OLED market growing A report from iSuppli Corp. predicts that industrial development and research will mature OLED markets to revenues above $2 billion by 2008. STMicroelectronics polymer display drivers The new ICs seek to drive CDT's monochrome and color polymer displays for portable applications. Polymer LED memory This UCLA device combines a polymer LED with a memory effect.   MORE NEWS HEADLINES Polymer and Organic Flexible Display News from 2001 Polymer and Organic Flexible Display News from 2000 Polymer and Organic Flexible Display News from 1999
