Printed segmented electroluminescence

Printed Segmented Electroluminescence (pSEL) is a new technology (developed by UK company Pelikon that builds on the phenomenon of electroluminescence and has uses in creating flexible displays and interface technologies. pSEL Display panels use an encapsulated printed electroluminescent phosphor layer with various capacitive, insulation and conducting layers to create iconic and segmented lit areas. The manufacturing process of printing displays ensures the products are lower cost and have low power consumption compared to current alternatives.

Uses

Devices that are most likely to benefit are those which multiple displays are required within a fixed area. Some examples of current usage are...

*Home appliances
*Consumer electronics
*Control Panels

pSEL Hybrid

pSEL hybrid is a forthcoming development, that makes electroluminescent technology one step further by offering flexible printed displays that are fully daylight visible. This opens up new markets for displays in portable products such as mobile phones, mp3 players, and car dashboards, applications that are used outdoors and need to have displays that are visible in full strength sunlight.
