GE Presents Breakthrough Research on Plastic Substrate and Ultra-High-Barrier Coating System for Flexible Organic Displays
BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — July 24, 2006 — GE Global Research announces its successful development of a substrate system for flexible, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The system features a developmental high-temperature Lexan* polycarbonate (PC) film from GE Plastics combined with a transparent, ultra-high-barrier coating to help protect the OLED device against oxygen and moisture. This research, jointly funded by the U.S. Display Consortium (USDC) and GE, is designed to address the critical need for plastic substrates that can enable cost-effective, lightweight, flexible organic displays.
