DuPont Displays, part of DuPont iTechnologies of Wilmington, Delaware, has bought UNIAX, a California-based polymer-OLED start-up. The companies will combine their technologies to develop polymer displays with plastic substrates instead of glass. This will lead to brighter, lower cost and lightweight displays for use in wireless devices.
UNIAX was set up in 1990 as a spin-off from the University of California at Santa Barbara, to develop full-color polymer-OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays.
 | An OLED display is less than 2 mm thick and has a mass of only a few grams. Current display prototypes have in excess of 25,000 pixels and are daylight readable. They are also capable of displaying full motion video. OLED displays are predicted to have a lower manufacturing cost in high volume production than that of LCD displays with comparable information content because of the limited number of steps in the manufacturing process. |
