Flexible LEP Display Technology to be Licensed
-- Semiconductor International, 11/1/1998
Cambridge Display Technology (CDT, Cambridge, UK) is to
commence licensing its flexible light emitting polymer (LEP) technology. The
first LEP product will be introduced later this year from Philips, probably a
mobile phone display. CDT is also working with DuPont on a two year
collaborative development that will result in plastic substrates coated with the
LEP for use in CDT displays. LEP displays are lighter and use less power than
other display systems, while their flexibility makes them suitable for new
applications. 'These include electronic labeling on goods and flexible
electronic newspapers,' said Danny Chapchall, chief executive of CDT.
