Cambridge Display Technology

Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) is the leading developer of technologies based on polymer light emitting diodes (P-OLEDs). P-OLEDs are designed for use in the latest generation of electronic displays and in lighting products, offering many advantages over the liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and plasma displays now used in flat panel televisions. CDT is the originator of polymer based OLEDs and has a heritage with a direct line back to the original discovery of organic electroluminescence from polymers at Cambridge University. Today part of the Sumitomo Chemical Group, CDT has seen significant investment in developing its expertise and infrastructure. It is a globally respected organization running collaborative projects with many of the global consumer electronics companies. CDT supports its partners in their scale-up from materials know-how through to device development and manufacture, and has built an unrivalled knowledge of the practicalities associated with P-OLED technology. CDT has made major technology advances by developing new materials with greatly improved performance, and the rate of progress is still growing. It supports all stages of the supply chain by working with partners in materials supply, printer and process development, device driver and backplane producers, to ensure that each stage is optimised for the best possible performance from the final display or lighting device. The technology has already begun to be commercialized, and is available to today's product designers, enabling them to create generations of consumer and business products, with exciting new levels of performance.
