DuPont crafts ultra longevous OLED materials, which likely won't be affordable

by Darren Murph posted May 31st 2009 at 7:19AM


DuPont's been dabbling in OLED advancement for years now, and while the world waits for the introduction of market-ready big-screen OLED HDTVs, engineers at the miracle-working company are toiling away to make sure those very sets last quite some time. For anyone following the OLED TV scene, you'll know that luminance longevity has been a nagging issue, but if new developments pan out, stamina will be the least of our worries. In fact, the firm has crafted a green light-emitting material that can purportedly push onward for over a hundred years... continuously. Furthermore, the same scientists have engineered a new blue light-emitting material with a luminance half-life of 38,000 hours along with a red light-emitting material with a life of 62,000 hours. Unfortunately for the laypeople out there, we can't imagine this stuff being even marginally affordable -- but hey, it's great news for the sybarites!

DuPont, Dainippon buddy up to develop OLED displays

For those with ridiculously sharp memories, you'll easily recall that DuPont has been dabbling in OLED technology for years. Now, however, the company famous for showcasing the miracles of science has formed a strategic alliance with Dainippon Screen Manufacturing to "develop integrated manufacturing equipment for printed OLED displays." Furthermore, the duo has agreed to "bring together the elements needed -- materials, technology and equipment -- to mass produce OLED displays." In essence, the two are hoping to produce higher-quality units at a lower cost than what's currently available, and we can happily say we hope they succeed. Now, if only we knew when some product would emerge from this here wedding...

DuPont unveils host of flat-panel HDTV technologies

While we knew the company famous for bringing miracles of science into our daily lives was lending a helping hand with OLEDs, a recent announcement has detailed that the company plans on getting into a whole lot more than just that. Among the technologies it hopes to integrate into tomorrow's flat-panel displays are thermal color filters, direct bonding, Optilon anti-reflective coatings, advanced composite reflectors film for improved luminance, Drylox, and a smattering of niceties around field emission displays. Of course, there's way more here than we could possibly cover in this space, so do your curious mind a favor and dig right in to the detailed read link.

DuPont helping with OLED HDTVs

OLEDs may soon be a display hanging on your wall, but there are some technical challenges before that happens. DuPont has found a way to produce these panels cheaper and more efficiently. Currently, OLED panels are printed with a a type of ink jet or they are produced with a type of vacuum system. Ether the current techniques produce inconsistent results or they are very expensive. Hopefully DuPonts system will counter both of the current issues.
