Blue Polymers Live Longer
Jun 1, 2003 — Unlike liquid crystal devices, light-emitting polymer displays require no backlight, which could ultimately lead to more efficient, thinner, lighter-weight displays. Images also are reportedly of higher quality, even at wide viewing angles. There are still problems related to operating life, though. Now, UK-based Cambridge Display Technology has more than tripled the lifetime of its blue light-emitting polymer research devices to 11,000 hours.
According to CEO David Fyfe, the blue material...
