Flat paael dtsptays Flat information displays will experience 25% annual worldwide growth over the next seven years, according to 'Flat Information Displays - - 1985', a report from Stanford Resources, Inc. This will, it says, take the market from $227M in 1985 to $984M in 1992. Microcomputers are seen as the l e a d ~ g application sector and by 1992 will account for two-thirds of the potential US market for flat displays. Application specific and portable terminals will be the next most important areas, while display telephones will be one of the most rapidly growing sectors. Thus far, LCDs and electroluminescent displays have led the way as the fiat panel display technologies for use in p o ~ e / transportable computers, although CRTs are also being used for this application. Meanwhile, high resolution plasma panels have emerged

for higher priced
speciality terminals and many military systems. The world market divided by display technology for 1988 and 1993 is given in the table. It shows that the primary technology used over the period will be LCDs. However, a major shift in the LCD area will begin around 1986/87 as active matrix units begin to penetrate the market and displace the multiplezed types. By 1992, says the report, nearly 90% of all LCDs sold will be active matrix because of their better performance characteristics and
d ~ prices. The report estimates that fiat pane] displays wig only be used in about one-third of those applications for which they are suitable. The high cost of the flat panel display, as compared to the CRT, and the inab~'ty of any one of the fiat technologies to satisfy all

panel display, the price and performance will, in most cases, b e measured against the CRT, and market
requirements, will keep the ponetrution at that modest level. A key product in increasing this penetration would be the availability of a half page (25 line by 80 character) fiat display priced at less than $250. Despite the technical novelty and compactness of a fiat
development will not begin in earnest until the cost of a display system is less than 1.8 times that of a comparable CRT monitor.

The 830nm Codeled model 8EP002 has guaranteed minimum output powers of 126/JW into 50/an core fibre and 448 pW into 100 p.m core fibre, while the specification of the 1300 nm Codeled model 13E000 includes 3OmW typical output power into 50/an core fibre at only 180 mA current. The LEDs are available either packaged on a ceramic heat sink with a built-in fibre alignment platform, or in a 14-pin dual-in-line package with an optical fibre pigtail and connector.
