Cambridge Display Technology

Cambridge Display Technology (CDT), a subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical, is a pioneer in the development of polymer organic light-emitting diode (P-OLED) technology. While historically focused on the display and lighting industries, the company has established a significant presence in the healthcare sector through its "Light for Health" initiative. This program leverages CDT's expertise in flexible, thin-film organic electronics to develop wearable medical devices for applications such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and light-based wound healing. Their technology enables conformable light sources that can be integrated into medical patches, providing a more patient-friendly and ambulatory alternative to traditional bulky clinical light systems. CDT continues to collaborate with academic and clinical partners to advance the use of organic electronics in dermatology and oncology.
