Light Emitting Polymers

• A light emitting polymer is an electro-luminescent
  plastic. The molecules of this plastic emit
  light when an electric field is applied.
• Polymer based light-emitting diodes (LED) were
  discovered in 1990.
• Cambridge Display Technology has the core patents
  for the Technology of LEP.

Light Emitting Polymers

• Poly p-phenylenevinylene
• LEP can be used in Laptop screens, cell phones,
  TV screens, calculators, digital cameras, and
  in a future almost everything.

Light Emitting Polymers

• Light Emitting Polymers have many advantages.
• Enable more energy efficiency
• They are thin which will enable then to be placed
  into any flat surface.
• There will be no limitations in size
• Light weight
• Can be seen from any angle without the loss of
  information
• Extraordinary resolution which will provide high
  quality imaging.
• Flexibility
