BBC: Researchers have developed a new type of plastic lighting that could be more efficient and produce a better quality light than fluorescent bulbs.
BBC: Researchers have developed a new type of plastic lighting that could be more efficient and produce a better quality light than fluorescent bulbs.
The scientists behind it say they believe the first units will be produced in 2013.
The new light source is called field-induced polymer electroluminescent (Fipel) technology. It is made from three layers of white-emitting polymer that contain a small volume of nanomaterials that glow when electric current is passed through them.
