So what now for OLED displays? http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/oleds_and_the_competition_00002059.asp?rsstopicid=226http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/oleds_and_the_competition_00002059.asp?rsstopicid=22624 Feb 2010 Chris Giacoponello introduced NTERA's concept of "printegration", the possibility to integrate a display, a sensor and a battery by using successive printing steps. NTERA's technology is based on viologen inks that change colour upon accepting electrical charge. Without a need for a transparent conductor, they can be directly deposited on any opaque substrate (e.g. paper, PCB) with better reflectivity and lower cost (avoiding costly ITO).Company demonstrators include RF-powered displays (co-operation with poly-IC), solar powered ones (co-operation with Plextronics) and a device comprising a printed display & battery stack, demonstrated in June 2009.http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/highlights_from_the_2010_flexible_electronics_and_displays_conference_00002043.asp?rsstopicid=226http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/highlights_from_the_2010_flexible_electronics_and_displays_conference_00002043.asp?rsstopicid=22617 Feb 2010 PureDepth™, Inc. (OTC:PDEP), the creator of Multi-Layer Display™ (MLD) technology and a leader in new visualization experiences, today announced that it has acquired a patent covering methods of assembling, displaying and controlling images on a layered Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display. U.S. Patent 6,720,961, which holds a priority date of November 6, 2000, further strengthens PureDepth's leadership position in MLD technology by incorporating OLEDs, which are fast becoming standard in mobile devices and are expected to dominate the display market in the near future.http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/puredepth_acquires_patent_for_multi_layer_oled_displays_00002033.asp?rsstopicid=226http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/puredepth_acquires_patent_for_multi_layer_oled_displays_00002033.asp?rsstopicid=22611 Feb 2010 An organic light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) could be a cheaper alternative to OLED technology. http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/organic_electrochemical_cell_could_be_an_alternative_to_oled_lighting_00002025.asp?rsstopicid=226http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/organic_electrochemical_cell_could_be_an_alternative_to_oled_lighting_00002025.asp?rsstopicid=22608 Feb 2010 The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University today announced that the Printable Electronics Technology Center (PETEC) has become an Associate Member to collaborate on high-performing organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) for flexible display applications.
