Light Polymers of the US has announced Crystallin technology which is a phosphor-based down-conversion film for use with blue Micro and Mini LED’s. The colour gamut can reach 85% of DCI P3 for the Performance PDC 100 version and 95% of P3 for the Premium PDC 500 version. Both have integrated diffusers.
Sergey Fedotov, Director of Operations for Light Polymers said
“Like most technologies, the performance, reliability, and cost learning curves mature step by step in the display industry. But with Crystallin PDC films, most if not all blue Micro and Mini LEDs in this startup period can be used along with a LCD cell stack, providing significant cost savings while enabling high performance displays that are uniform in brightness and have no harmful blue or UV light leakage. Since our manufacturing process is water based, Crystallin films are environmentally friendly to manufacture and can be produced on an industry standard slot die production line by the millions of square meters”.
Analyst Comment
The company is positioning its film against non-cadmium QD films. Some microLEDs may be made too small to realistically use them with phosphors, as the phosphor particles can be bigger than the LEDs. (BR)
