Last modified: Wednesday, September 14, 2005
Short for Light Emitting Polymer, it is an emissive
technology that emits light as a function of its electrical operation. An LEP
display consists solely of the polymer material
manufactured on a substrate of glass or plastic and does not require additional
elements such as the backlights, filters and polarizers typical of
LCDs. LEP is
a platform technology that will scale from tiny devices literally millimeters in
dimension to large high-definition devices that could be up to 200 inches in
diameter. LEP combines the characteristics of a CRT with the performance
of an LCD with low power consumption. Light Emitting
Polymer technology was developed by Cambridge Display Technology, Ltd. (CDT),
based in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Cambridge Display Technology, Ltd. Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) is the leading developer of technologies based on polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs).
LEP and FED Whitepaper No sooner than the TFT LCD became technologically competitive with the incumbent Cathode Ray Tube display, and gained broader acceptance in the marketplace, challengers for its position have begun to appear. The second wave in flat panel display technology is rapidly approaching production, and promises to exceed the impressive capabilities of the TFT LCD.
