Plastic bulb advantages or more impact LED lights?

Beijing on December 4th news, according to foreign media reports, U.S. scientists have invented a plastic bulb, very close to the natural light can emit light, and give good, not afraid to fall, is expected in 2013 the first batch of plastic bulb will enter the market.

Scientists at the Wake Forest University recently developed a new plastic bulb, which has all the advantages of LED lights, but even more surprising is that this plastic bulb does not have any shortcomings LED. It is reported that this plastic bulb is expected to replace LED as a new light source. When the current passes through the special plastic layer of the new type of light bulb, the light is emitted. R & D team said that this new type of plastic bulb has a very good stretch, can be designed into a variety of shapes, such as the commonly used light stick. Users do not have to worry about the bulb will be broken, and will not produce any noise.

The new bulb is briefly referred to as "FIPEL". The inventor David Carol (David Carroll) said that the new LED light bulb can win, but now this plastic bulb also is not perfect, when the current is too high when the plastic will melt, which means that the brightness of this plastic is restricted.

The light from FIPEL is very close to the natural light, but it is very different from the blue light emitted by the LED lamp. There may be concerns about the service life of plastic bulbs. Dr Carol said that the plastic bulb model in his lab had been used for nearly 10 years.

When asked what the plastic bulb can enter into the market, Dr. Carol said there is now a company is very interested in this product, and ready for mass production, is expected in 2013 the first batch of plastic bulb will enter the market.
