Light Emitting Polymers
-A light emitting polymer is an electro-luminescent plastic. The molecules of this plastic emit light when an electric field is applied.
-Polymer based light-emitting diodes (LED) were discovered in 1990.
-Cambridge Display Technology has the core patents for the Technology of LEP.
Light Emitting Polymers
Poly p-phenylenevinylene
LEP can be used in Laptop screens, cell phones, TV screens, calculators, digital cameras, and in a future almost everything.
Light Emitting Polymers
-Light Emitting Polymers have many advantages.
-Enable more energy efficiency
-They are thin which will enable then to be placed into any flat surface.
-There will be no limitations in size
-Light weight
-Can be seen from any angle without the loss of information
-Extraordinary resolution which will provide high quality imaging.
-Flexibility
