WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- U.S. researchers have developed a new type of lighting that could replace fluorescent bulbs, according to a study published online Monday in the journal Organic Electronics.
The lighting, based on field-induced polymer electroluminescent technology, also gives off soft, white light -- not the yellowish glint from fluorescents or bluish tinge from (light-emitting diode) LEDs.
"People often complain that fluorescent lights bother their eyes, and the hum from the fluorescent tubes irritates anyone sitting at a desk underneath them," said David Carroll, the scientist leading the development of this technology at Wake Forest University. "The new lights we have created can cure both of those problems and more."
