...anyone know whatever happened to that flourescant or glowing plastic,
that was discovered and demonstrated 10 or 20 years ago ?
There was an item on t.v. news detailing how a lab-technician carrying a
UV lamp was walking past some test tubes containing liquid plastic,
noticed one / some of them glowed as he walked past. On the t.v. news
item, in a lab.somewhere, someone in a white coat was holding up a
ribbon cable with a small glass/plastic panel 2x2 inch? monochrome (in
shades of greenscale...if you see what I mean), with television motion /
images running on it. It was speculated that from this be developed
into wonderful color flat panel displays. without the complications of
"traditional" Lcd's / tft's and their complicated multi-layer
construction etc. ...and the "refresh" rate characteristics of this
"flourescant plastic" was akin to a CRT. What happened to it ?

They probably couldn't produce the other necessary colors by the same
chemical process.

OLED is clearly taking the lead of next gen display tech. It's super
simple and cheap to fabricate the screens, thinner [and presumably
lighter weight] than any LCD or plasma TV's I've seen, offers true black,
wide viewing angle, low power consumption, etc.
I'm not dumping 3 grand into a plasma set now, when I know (ok speculate)
that by the time the mandated NTSC cutoff date arrives (2/17/09, last I
heard), OLED sets will be priced at or below that of competing plasmas.


^^^^^^^^
and LCD's!



Dad gummit I hate when the final output is nothing like what the editor
shows!!
So er.. yeah.. plasmas AND LCD's will be much cheaper than they are now and
OLED sets should be priced similarly at that time.
