New Lighting Approach Is a Gas

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28, 2011 — Just as in a fluorescent light, a microcavity array (MCA) is energized by an applied voltage. By successfully confining plasma (an ionized gas) in parallel rows of microcavities within thin sheet materials, various implementations of microplasma arrays have been achieved, resulting in inexpensive, wafer-thin, flexible sheets of light. The discovery was made by Drs. Gary Eden and Sung-Jin Park of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who co-founded Eden Park Illumination Inc. to bring the new technology to market. The lighting technology company was founded in 2007 and is a...Read full article
