OLED drops in to replace 2.7in LCDs

Anders Electronics has added a 2.7" PMOLED module to its range of low-profile, low-power video-capable displays, presenting an easy upgrade path from LCD modules that are thicker and heavier and also require a backlight. A quick start guide and rapid evaluation hardware are also available from Anders Electronics, for fast and easy system-level integration of OLEDs in a wide range of sizes and resolutions including the new 2.7in module. The new Osram Pictiva 2.7" OLEDs are 128 columns x 64 rows resolution, enabling clear display of text or graphic images.

Yellow or green versions are available, each having 4bit grey-scale colour depth. Offering the established benefits of OLED technology, the new modules have 180 degree viewing angle and 2000:1 contrast ratio for excellent readability in a wide range of situations in audio products, industrial equipment or medical instruments. The latest 2.7" displays are only 3.4mm thick, for easy mounting in very thin panels, and consume 0.05mW in sleep mode.
