Kodak's Monthly Tech Brief for September.Business Editors ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2001 Eastman Kodak Company's Monthly Tech Brief demonstrates the importance of image clarity as pictures become a bigger part of our daily communications. Unclear images don't communicate. Whether it's an image displayed as a poster in a backlit An LCD screen that has its own light source from the back of the screen, making the background brighter and characters appear sharper. display, or a picture on a handheld digital device, Kodak scientists are applying their expertise to the convergence of imaging science and information technology to make the infoimaging experience more rewarding and the communications more effective. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Device, Organic Light Emitting Diode) A thin film light-emitting technology that is expected to compete with LCD and plasma TVs as well as LCD monitors and readouts. : Improving the Performance and Lifetime of Display Materials Since Kodak Research Scientists Ching For the Chinese surname Ching 程, see . For the Chinese dynasty, see . The ching (Thai: ฉิ่ง; sometimes romanized as chhing) are small bowl-shaped finger cymbals of thick and heavy bronze, with a broad rim commonly used in Cambodia and Tang and Steve Van Slyke published their discovery of OLED in 1987, more than 80 organizations--companies and universities--around the world have explored the potential of this technology. One focus of their efforts has been improving the basic OLED materials to achieve a broader color gamut The entire range of colors available on a particular device such as a monitor or printer. A monitor, which displays RGB signals, typically has a greater color gamut than a printer, which uses CMYK inks. and longer-lived displays. To meet these needs, Kodak's development teams have worked with materials scientists to commercialize a new generation of OLED materials that will boost lifetimes, increase luminance The amount of brightness, measured in lumens, that is given off by a pixel or area on a screen. For example, dark red and bright red would have the same chrominance, but a different luminance. efficiency, and enhance colors.

We all know that light hits a surface and either passes through it or reflects off of it. At Kodak, scientists and product development engineers have created a new material that does both.
