Not many of us are familiar with this new technology. It is a special type of light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive layer comprises a thin-film of certain organic compounds. The emissive electroluminescent layer can include a polymeric substance that allows the deposition of very suitable organic compounds, for example, in rows and columns on a flat carrier by using a simple "printing" method to create a matrix of pixels which can emit different colored light. The flexibility of this technology makes it very useful to be used in designing mobile phone displays and other electronic displays. GE Global Research is working on a prototype that could shape this technology into a cell phones, portable media players and even some upcoming computer monitors in most cost effective way. The project started from a small 1-inch square prototype and now the researchers have succeeded in calibrating a large 2-foot square panel generating a significant amount of white light.
