Getting them to glow...Polymer layer sandwitched between two electrodes
Thinner than 500 nm
Electrons in benzene rings are excited by an external voltage of 3 to 5 V.Upon returning to ground state, they radiate a soft bright lightLeave no trace of afterglowIlluminating power is comparable to a conventional 100 W light bulb.

MatrixPassive
Individual pixels get activated passivelyIllumination to row and column line
Brightness determined by amount of current flowingTechnically difficult to activate more than one million pixels (size of 8 inch display)
ActiveEvery light spot gets its own thin film transistor (TFT)Additional layer of polycrystalline silicon
Improving life spot's life span

Manufacturing ProcessCheap and simple
Production process similar to an Ink Jet printerBUT: Production rooms need to be air-tightLatest: Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD) by UDC
Displays require hermetic sealingIn use was thin classNow: flexible plastics
Whole new application possibilities
