Lighting up Christmas with unbreakable bulbs

Decking your home with Christmas lights soon won’t include the hassle of burnt-out bulbs or broken strands. Scientists at Wake Forest University have made a new kind of light from mouldable plastic, which can glow in any colour, won’t shatter and won’t leave you with the problem of searching for the one bad bulb on a strand of dozens.

Scientists develop indium-free OLED for screen displays

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Ames Laboratory have discovered new ways of using a well-known polymer in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) which could eliminate the need for an increasingly problematic and breakable metal-oxide used in screen displays in computers, televisions and mobile phones.

TDK Corporation CJA series of TDK SRCT capacitors

TDK Corporation has developed the CJA series of TDK SRCT capacitors in case size 0603 (EIA 0201). Compared to existing multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) of the same case size, the mounting footprint has been reduced by 50%. In this design with bottom terminals, a solder resist prevents wetting of the face and side areas of the MLCCs with solder.

Osram Opto Semiconductors 1 mm² infrared chip prototype

The 1 mm² infrared chip prototype from Osram Opto Semiconductors has achieved an efficiency of up to 72% at 100 mA using thin-film technology. At 930 mW from an operating current of 1 A, its light output under laboratory conditions is claimed to be 25% higher than that of the chips currently available on the market, which means that future infrared LEDs can be made even more energy-efficient.
