Direct Write Light Emitting Arrays for Display on Flexible Conformable Surfaces

The proposed project focuses on the development of fully inorganic phosphor TFEL arrays with NPs layer. EL arrays are thin, bright, flexible and flat and could be easily mounted on conformal surfaces. Devices have 179o viewing angle and because they do not contain filaments or mechanical parts, they are not susceptible to shock and vibration. The direct write fabrication and layer by layer methods are the elegant alternative to traditional fabrication methods of semiconductor devices such as vacuum deposition techniques, masking, high processing temperatures, etc. This project will develop an efficient, cheap, reliable method of manufacturing of novel electroluminescence arrays capable of stable, extended service, low power consumption under a wide range of environmental conditions.
