Ewing, NJ – Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (NASDAQ:PANL, PHLX: PNL), a leading developer of organic light emitting device (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other opto-electronic applications, announced today the achievement of record-breaking power efficiencies in a white OLED using Universal Display's phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED™) technology. These advances were reported in a joint paper with Toyota Industries Corporation entitled, “A High Efficiency White OLED for LCD Backlight and Display Applications,” delivered at the 2004 Society for Information Display Conference at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle , WA . Universal Display has been working with Toyota Industries since 2002 to further develop Universal Display's PHOLED technology for white backlighting applications.

Ok, to the guys I am pinging this article to: This is the type of article I will be looking for and posting. It is General Technology and It's Impact on You type of stuff. I will begin scouring regular news sources such as Popular Science, Scientific Amreican, etc. as well as some top technology sector companies sites press releases. I hope this will be a good ping list and thread starter. I want to contribute something to FR and something that I am interested in, and think this could be it. So, again, I hope you folks like the info and my 2 cents.

I saw this article a while back and thought WOW that is pretty darn neat. I think there are some very innovative and certainly efficient uses of current and of course near future technology. What I mean by near future technology is that which is currently being R&D'ed but not yet out in the general public. This one, OLED, is a biggie. You will soon begin seeing OLED in everything from cell phones to laptops to outdoor displays the size of a small skyscraper. It is a wonderful technology that will revolutionize the industry as much or more than LCD has. There is another technology that some may be interested in looking at as well, it is called Carbon Nanotube Display technology and it could be even more revolutionary in it's low cost, efficiency, and performance than OLED is. Here is an article on it:

Thanks for your input guys. Here is a sample of what I will be posting. Let me know. Oh, and neb52, I will get on the wireless snoop immediately. I am trying to connect my wireless access point to my wired network now and am having some difficulty, so I am hoping the research will be helpful as well as informative to FReepers.

Almost forgot to post this.

General Technology and How it Can Affect You Ping List

Just as for a ping, and it will be done

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Very interesting.

Any idea how Toyota connects with this?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

THIS......

http://www.europhysicsnews.com/full/09/article3/article3.html..........ought to have its ovwn thread.. has good background on nanotubes etc....should be able to post the full article.

Again do it in the Chat...Science section I would think....

Good stuff....

Put me on the ping list.

This nano-technology is a fundamental revolution in materials science, I can't wait until the first space elevator is built, but there will be a thousand other applications for it as well.

Thanks Ernest, I will do that. Would you like me to ping it to the GenTech ping list?

The information on Toyota Industries Corp. is in paragraph 5.2, a joint paper done with Universal Display.

I just want a battery for my laptop that last longer than an hour. :P

[neb52]

What AP are you using and what are you plugging it into(hub,switch or gateway router)?

[phoenix0468]

I am using a Linksys AP with a Linksys 4 port router. I think I may have it figured out, but if you have any suggestions I would love it.
