Energized by improvements in the technologies that have produced dramatic increases in light output for both high brightness (HB) and color, and significant extensions of their life spans, Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have powerful and vocal proponents among local, state and federal governments, commercial industries and private citizens. These groups all are encouraging widespread acceptance and adoption of LEDs as a viable mainstream and green technology.
Someday, moving a large, flat-screen TV across the country might be as simple as taking it off the wall, rolling it up and sliding it into a study tube. That's the vision of researchers Christopher Ober and George Malliaras at Cornell University, and Andrew Holmes at the University of Melbourne, Australia, who are fabricating organic semiconducting materials with a little help from supercritical carbon dioxide, or CO2.
The anisotropy imaging technique is now available for the serial equipment of the LSM 710 laser scanning microscope from Carl Zeiss. It supplements the special imaging techniques such as RICS (Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy) and FCS (Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy) already possible with the LSM 710.
Arizona State University (ASU) today announced that the U.S. Army has committed to sponsor an additional five years of research and development at ASU's Flexible Display Center. The five-year renewal, agreed upon in 2008, is for $50 million and follows initial funding of the center in 2004. Taken together, the two five-year commitments represent a total investment of nearly $100 million in this unique component of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's research portfolio.
Alfalight, Inc., a leading supplier of highly efficient high-power diode lasers, announced today the first details of its breakthrough Surface-Emitting Distributed Feedback (SE-DFB) laser diode technology. This technology uses a significantly different approach at the wafer level to provide a lower-cost system solution with enhanced brightness and ruggedness compared to the edge-emitting laser technology.
NEC LCD Technologies, together with its sales and marketing channels in the Americas and Europe, NEC Electronics America, Inc. and NEC Electronics (Europe) GmbH, today introduced two new amorphous-silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) modules incorporating white LED backlights for industrial applications.
JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU and TSX: JDU) today announced at the SPIE Photonics West availability of a new ultraviolet (UV) filter, an optical component critical to instrument makers and used for applications such as environmental monitoring, genetic research, biomedical instrumentation, and medical/aesthetic laser instrumentation.
Carl Zeiss has added the MCS FLEX modules to its line of spectral sensors. The Multi Channel Spectrometer modules will be presented for the first time at the Photonics West trade show in San Jose, California, from January 27 to 29, 2009.
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) will exhibit at SCTE's first-ever Canadian Summit, in Toronto February 3-4 at the Toronto Congress Centre. Infinera has pioneered Digital Optical Networking with the Infinera DTN, a Digital ROADM based on large-scale photonic integration.
Moser Baer, the global technology company, today announced that its photovoltaic subsidiary is ready for production of thin film photovoltaic modules at its manufacturing plant in Greater Noida. This follows final acceptance test (FAT) certification of Moser Baer Photovoltaic's SunFab™ Thin Film Line supplied by Applied Materials, Inc., the California-based nanomanufacturing technology solutions provider. The certification verifies that the SunFab line has met all manufacturing, module efficiency and yield specifications.
