The emerging technology based around polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs) promises to have many advantages over existing electroluminescence technologies. Lightweight, battery operated, and highly visible pixellated displays may be beneficial for a broad range of applications in portable electronics, ranging from simple alphanumeric displays to high information content flat panel displays. PLED displays have now reached a level of performance that is attractive for commercial applications, with operating lifetimes in excess of 10,000 hrs, luminance levels of several hundred cd/m 2 and battery‐compatible operating voltages. In this talk we discuss the lifetime and readability issues of passively‐addressed matrix displays developed at UNIAX Corporation.
