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...

I respect DuPont, they do a lot of research and develop lots of new things.

Ok, this is the news I tipped you last night. I thought you didn't like it.
Like I told you in my tip yesterday, they are looking to mass produce their OLEDs within a couple of years and predict that their 32" OLEDs could be cheaper than 32" LEDs by 2010. The way they will reduce cost is by printing the Organic electroluminescent material rather than by vacuum deposition which is the way Sony does currently. Dupont provides the luminescent ink, Dainippon Screen provides the printing expertise.

Gee...I even thought I was the only one who tipped engadget...
Oh well, no wonder there is no "Thanks StopSpamming" in there...
