The UK Department of Trade and Industry has awarded grant funding to Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) for its role in developing a new, low power multimedia silicon application reference platform for the next generation of portable consumer products. CDT’s contribution will be in the area of light emitting polymer (LEP) displays with high performance images at low-power consumption.

The UK Department of Trade and Industry has awarded grant funding to Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) for its role in developing a new, low power multimedia silicon application reference platform for the next generation of portable consumer products. CDT's contribution will be in the area of light emitting polymer (LEP) displays with high performance images at low-power consumption.

"For this project, CDT will develop monochrome and full colour displays using inkjet printing based on CDTs proprietary LEP technology," reports Dr Karl Heeks, CDTs director of business development. "This grant is significant because of the broad industry collaboration and because it enables the early integration and validation of LEP technology in a wide range of electronic consumer products."

The effort is funded under the European Union EUREKA framework. The grant is for a collaborative project called Pocket Multimedia between STMicroelectronics, Thompson Multimedia, Philips, URMET, CMM/Armines and CDT.

The project partners will develop hardware and software building blocks suitable for a broad range of handheld appliances. Emphasis will be placed on developing low power consumption solutions that incorporate state-of-art technologies for the best trade off between performance, design and cost for emerging products.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
