June 05, 2009 By Katherine Bourzac (Technology Review) — New organic display materials can be printed with ink-jets.

High-end displays made from organic materials are lightweight, energy efficient, and crisp--but it has proved difficult to manufacture them cheaply and durably.

Now the chemical giant DuPont is reporting the development of long-lasting organic-display materials that can be printed cheaply over large areas, much like ink.
