LEP
INTRODUCTION
LEP is an emissive technology that emits light as a function of electrical operation. It exhibits electroluminescent characteristics. It emits light under the application of electric field. E.g- polyvinyl chloride. Polymer based LEP was discovered in 1990
CONDUCTING POLYMERS
Three type of conducting polymer are there 1.conductor(bg-1ev) 2.semiconductor(bg-2.2ev) 3.insulator(bg-10ev)
Structure of LEP
LEP consists of a thin film of polymer sandwiched between an anode and a cathode. Indium tin oxide(ITO) is usually as anode. Metals are used as cathode.
Light is emitted
Manufacturing
Spin Coating Process Printer based Technique
Types of LEPs
The types of LEPs available in the market include Flexible Stacked Transparent
Advantages
Require only 3.3 volts and have lifetime of more then 30,000 hours. Greater power efficiency than all other flat panel displays. Can be viewed at any angle. Cost much less to manufacture and run than CRTs, because the active material used is plastic. Higher luminescence efficiency.
Limitations
Ageing of LEP Space Charge Effect
APPLICATIONS
Multi or full colour cell phone displays Full colour high-resolution personal digital assistants(PDAs) Lightweight wrist watches High definition televisions Roll-up daily refreshable electronic newspapers Automobile light systems without bulbs
Conclusion
LEPs are promising, low cost solutions for todays flat panel displays. These replace bulky and heavy CRT displays in the near future.
