Goblinz Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Are Poly-LEDs the same as PLEDS? IF they are then i think I've found a source for £25 each, although they are limited to one colour.http://www.elektor.com/products/kits-modules/modules/poly-led-display-(030451-73).91433.lynkx Can somebody please check the link out and let me know if these are the now hard to find PLEDS.

Wilba Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 No, that picture is definitely a negative LCD with edge-lit white LED backlight.I have no idea why they call that a Poly-LED display.
Goblinz Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Strange... unless it's an incorrect photo. I would have thought Poly_LED, Polymer-LED and PLED would be the same.
nILS Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Well, it *might* just be a clever marketing trick - "poly" means "multiple" or "many", so an LCD that is backlit by multiple LEDs could be called Poly-LED ::)
Goblinz Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Hmnnn.... That's just cheeky. I'm not going to buy one as I'm stocked up from the LCD order that Kartoshka so kindly organised. I may email them and ask for details just out of curiosity though. G
