can you say "p-phenylenevinylene"?
i can't either, but this thin pliable plastic compound, discovered in the labs of Britain's Cambridge Display Technology in 1989, glows greenish yellow when given an electric charge. since then, scientists have figured out how to make it produce red and blue light as well. Whammo!, we now have the "roll-up tv". "You will see roll up displays around 2004 or 2005", says David Fyke, Chief executive of CDT. some possible applications? tv watches, giant animated billboards, and for the military, roll up infra-red battlefield maps fed by satellite. now that's kick-ass! here's the article.
