U.S. scientists say they have created an organic polymer semiconductor that transports both positive and negative charges. University of Washington researchers said their plastic circuit was created by solution casting of a newly developed plastic that conducts electricity and holds promise for cheaper, thinner and more flexible electronics. The new technology -- already available in the new Sony Walkman and the Microsoft Zune HD music player -- incorporates organic light-emitting electronic...

Plastic that conducts electricity holds promise for cheaper, thinner and more flexible electronics. This technology is already available in some gadgets -- the new Sony walkman that was introduced earlier this summer and the Microsoft Zune HD music player released last week both incorporate organic light-emitting electronic displays.Until now, however, circuits built with organic materials have allowed only one type of charge to move through them. New research from the University of...

Organic light emitting diodes, known generally as LEDs, are an essential component of displays, batteries, sensors, conductors and computer...

Dutch electronics firm Philips is letting people experiment with a technology that would enable ceilings and walls to radiate light, illuminating indoor spaces as brightly and evenly as natural daylight.Although widespread commercial viability of the technology is years away, Philips has started selling do-it-yourself kits with small glowing wafers known as "Lumiblades," which come in red, white, blue or green at a price of roughly $100 per square inch.The kits offer the first opportunity...

SINGAPORE, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TCZ Pte. Ltd., a joint venture of Cymer, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYMI) and Carl Zeiss SMT AG, announced today that the company has received its first order--from a large Korean display maker--for the TCZ-900A, TCZ's production tool for flat panel display (FPD) fabrication. The TCZ-900A is designed to manufacture both advanced liquid crystal displays (LCD) and next generation Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays used in cell phones, laptops and...

Researchers from Graz University of Technology, Humboldt University in Berlin,  M.I.T.,  Montan University in Leoben and  Georgia Institute of Technology report an important advance in the understanding of electrical conduction through single molecules.Minimum size, maximum efficiency: The use of molecules as elements in electronic circuits shows great potential. One of the central challenges up until now has been that most molecules only start to conduct once a large voltage has...

LEVERKUSEN, Germany, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- H.C. Starck Clevios GmbH, Leverkusen, today announced the milestone of 1000 S/cm conductivity or 100 Ohm/sq level of resistivity has been reached using their optimized PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer called Clevios(TM).

This technology will lead...

U.S. chemists say they've created a way to grow molecular wire brushes that conduct electrical charges -- a first step in developing biological fuel cells. University of Georgia Assistant Professor Jason Locklin and graduate students Nicholas Marshall and Kyle Sontag grew polymer brushes made of chains of thiophene and benzene attached to metal surfaces as ultra-thin films. The molecular wires are actually polymer chains that have been grown from a metal surface at very high density, Locklin...
