Pelikon, the Cardiff-based manufacturer of printed segmented electroluminescent (pSEL) displays, is continuing to evolve its revolutionary pSEL segmented flexible display technology with the introduction of new 50% slimmer and more flexible pSEL Backlites and Animated Backlites. With a significantly reduced thickness of 100-130um, the new displays are ideal for applications where space is critical.
The slim and flexible pSEL Animated Backlites also bring a new dimension to existing keypad designs for mobile phones or remote controls, through multi-segment and even multi-colour animations driven by Pelikon proprietary driver electronics products.
Available from Q1 2007, the new slim and flexible pSEL Backlite and Animated Backlite will be available alongside the existing pSEL Intuitive Touch Display product.
The animated feature offers 16 levels of greyscale and multiple colours and segments, which when combined, can deliver complex animation using the Pelikon Mobile Display Controller to drive and optimise the display.
