GDR scientists develop electroluminescence display

Electroluminescence display devices were developed. A laboratory technology was developed which allowed the manufacturing of models of such a display. In the displays the conversion is accomplished by a very thin layer consisting of a semiconducting compound which is based upon a glass support only a few millimeters in thickness. This thin film, embedded in equally thin layers of insulation, is covered with a superfine lattice of electrode strips. The light emitting diodes (LED) have advantages over the liquid crystal displays in high contrast and greater brightness.
