MED got first order for OLED microdisplays

MicroEmissive Displays plc is about to start commissioning and qualification of its plant for making small, low-power displays using organic light emitting polymers in the Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden, Germany.

The company also announced it had received £2 million worth of orders from an un-named consumer electronics maker in the Far East, the first for products to come out of the Dresden fab, which will make MED's second generation of its microdisplays. These 6mm color p-OLED QVGA displays, which will be capable of 10,000 hours of use at 80cd/m2, can be combined with magnifying optics to make a large virtual image.
