IDTechEx Announces Winners of the Printed Electronics 2008 Awards

Elumin8 wins the Best Commercialization Award. In 2003, Elumin8 started to develop large Electroluminescent Lamps for outdoor advertising. Prior to this time, EL Lamps had been widely used in avionic, military, automotive, marine and commercial displays where the total area of a single backlight rarely exceeded 100-200 cm2. By contrast, Elumin8 developed large format EL lamps working on how to scale up the technology to larger sizes, ink technology, lamp morphology, power and control requirements. Today, Elumin8’s describe their EL poster as “an industry standard” that is offered by global media companies to their blue-chip clients.
