Advances and Improvements in OLED Technology

Kirk Lim

OLED displays have advanced significantly since the technology was first developed at the end of the 20th century. OLED technology delivers many benefits over LCD screens including a greater efficiency, no requirement for backlighting and the ability to create flexible, non-linear screen shapes.

Fiber Probe Coupler: FPC-6M

The FlexiSpec® fiber probe couplers from art photonics GmbH allows easy coupling of fiber probes with any FTIR spectrometer. Coupling of FlexiSpec® probes with FT-spectrometers eliminates the necessity to prepare samples and put them into the sample chamber, and makes remote analysis possible for molecular reaction monitoring in-line.
