In 1991, iFire Technology Corp. invented a new solid state display technology based on a combination of thick film screen printing and thin film phosphors, called Thick Dielectric Electroluminescent, or TDEL. Since that time, the technology has been under continuous development to improve brightness, contrast, colour, image quality, lifetime, and manufacturability (cost). Now the company is in transition from R&D to commercialization, with the construction of a pilot manufacturing facility underway, and plans for volume production in discussion. This paper will review TDEL's development stages and current status.
