I dunno specifically. I know of them as one of the central players in the development of the LEP device technologies. It's a tantalizing technology, but it's got its quirks too. Word is the devices are really vulnerable to moisture, and have temperature-dependent performance.

But lawsy, there are a bunch of folks working seriously on them! Maybe some of these early problems have solutions I have not heard of. I've seen a demo or two, and there are some web sites that show images of devices.

It also sort of seems to me that the present performance of the devices makes them suitable for simple or small-scale multiplexing. But for use on computer-type displays, I'd think they would need some type of pixel-level circuitry analogous to active-matrix LCDs.

It is certainly noteworthy that Intel has a specific interest. Got my attention! JimA
