OSRAM Opto Semiconductors announced a new reference design kit for their 2.7" 128x64 PMOLED panel. The Reference Design Kit serves as a design model and helps customers to easily evaluate OSRAM OLED products, allowing for rapid and efficient integration into their display system applications.

The kit includes all necessary items to power up, initialize, test various modes, and display images on a display module. The kit is already shipping for less than $200.

OSD Displays has a new Low cost 1.5" 262K color OLED module. The display’s ultra-thin 1.60mm thick display lends well to next-generation ID, security cards, and programmable card and other audio and video applications.

Pricing starts at 1K $ 7.80 (FOB China).

One Stop Displays has developed the first 20 character by 4 line large molecule PLED module. This innovative design is the largest character PLED offered in the industry, and features an industry standard LCD-compatible control interface (Samsung KS0066 and Hitachi HD44780 4-bit and 8-bit mode compatible).

The OSD2004M01 design is mechanically equivalent to standard LCD based 20x4 character display modules. It's mounting points and data interface locations allow easy integration into existing designs. It requires only a single power supply and will operate on logic voltages from 2.8V to 5.0V. The PLED character display module is efficient and draws less current than an equivalent array backlit LCD display.

MagnaChip Semiconductor announced the launch of its high-performance, feature optimized Passive Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (PMOLED) (MC2EP7202) product designed for use in the main displays of mobile phones and MP3 players.

Davis Mok, Vice President of Marketing in MagnaChip's Display Solutions Division, commented "This is an exciting opportunity for MagnaChip as PMOLED technology is expected to be applied to QQVGA (128X160) mobile phones beginning in Q4 2006. MagnaChip's solution will provide unique value by offering a highly integrated PMOLED solution for use in many leading mobile phone and MP3 player displays."

One Stop Displays announced a new 16x2 character PLED display that measures only 5mm thick. The PMOLED OSD1602-3 offers high brightness, high contrast (over 200:1), and extreme viewing angles that support low light conditions.

Pricing on the OSD1602-3 starts at $12 USD for sample quantities and $10.00 or less for 1k and up, contact OSD for volume quotations.

Ron Mertens from OLED-Info.com recently had the opportunity to interview Khaled R. Khuda, President, One Stop Displays.

One Stop Displays (OSD) of Winter Park, FL has over a 15 year history of experience for display technology. OSD is focused on advanced display technology and associated services. OSD features OLED, PLED, and TFT display technology. This short interview is a follow-up of our October 2004 interview.

Q: First of all, thank you for accepting to do this interview session with us. Our previous interview was at October 2004. Can you give us a quick overview of OSD today? What has changed since in the last year and a half?

Since the last interview there have been several advancements made in OSD's Organic display offerings. Both large molecule and small molecule organic displays have seen improvements in materials and reliability. Materials used in the small molecule OLEDs have increased the life expectancy by approximately 50% in some cases. For example the monochrome Orange displays have shown experimental lifetimes of up to 90k hours. Improvements in OLED color filter technology have allowed full color SMOLEDs to achieve brightness levels of up to 150 nits.

OSD is pleased to announce our new OSD64480ALBAT01 is one of the most mechanically petite displays on the market. It weighs with a miniscule 0.66" diagonal measuring only 21.00 x 18.4 x 2.20 mm (WxHxD).
The current versions feature a monochrome blue emissive image on a black background at 1 bit/pixel depth. This display is solid state and offers perfect contrast and performance at all temperatures. Despite it's tiny size, the display is packed with the remarkable viewing characteristics associated with organic displays including 160 degree viewing angles, over 100:1 contrast, and great image legibility. This tiny standard is a one-of-a-kind offering that has some high praises by current customers. Pricing for the display starts under $12, FOB FL, and OSD offers a compatible EVK board to simplify your development interconnect for an additional $6.50.

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.
