Light-emitting polymers

Light-emitting polymers are plastic-like materials capable of producing light when an electrical current passes through them. They contain molecules that emit photons — particles of light — as they return to a lower energy state. These polymers are flexible, lightweight, and can be manufactured into thin, colorful displays or screens, making them useful for LED displays, lighting, and signage. Their ability to be processed into various shapes and sizes offers advantages over traditional light sources, contributing to innovative, energy-efficient lighting and display technologies.
