OLED display modules - Page 10

The new feature OLED display is offering advanced OLED technology and retrofit function for customers that were displaced by discontinuations. This model features 128x64 monochrome yellow OLED at 1 bit/pixel. This display is perfect for 1RU rack mount designs, automotive, avionics, and a full range of applications both industrial and consumer. The display offers compatibility with parallel, I2C, and SPI interfaces via a standard 24 conductor ZIF-type 0.5mm pitch flex interface. OLED technology features extraordinary contrast of 160:1 minimum and exceeding 1000:1 in ideal conditions. The display is a relatively large OLED display offered at 2.8 @ 84.0 x 25.8 x 2.2 mm outline dimensions.

OSD has recently released a new small-molecule PMOLED display that is compatible in size and format to the OSRAM Calgary model. This display features an overall panel size of 73.00 x 41.86 x 7.00 mm. This display features the same 30 pin interface using the Solomon Systech SSD1325 driver IC. This display supports 68xx, 80xx, and serial interface standards. This display features a contrast over 1000:1 and over 160 degree viewing angles.

In Recent weeks, OSRAM has given final purchase options to their PLED flat panel display customers. OSD Displays has worked with several key customers to tool new solutions to assist customers and is now ready to debut our new solution.

OSD Displays has successfully brought to market a 2.4-inch QVGA Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) for mobile devices. With a maximum module thickness of only 1.85 mm OSDs new line of AMOLED modules are ideal for mobile devices. Products such as mobile phones, digital cameras and media players are rapidly becoming thinner as manufacturers strive to improve portability and offer consumers more stylish designs.

AMOLED designs have many advantages over first generation passive matrix OLED designs, such as longer lifetime, higher brightness and increased resolution. OSDs new 2.4 diagonal portrait mode QVGA AMOLED delivers high image quality thanks to a high luminance of 200 cd/m2, high contrast ratio of 10000:1, wide viewing angle of 170 , degrees minimum in all directions, and fast response speed of 50us maximum.

CMEL will begin shipping 2.8-inch AMOLED (active matrix organic light-emitting diode) orders to China handset vendors in October or November, noted Chen.

The company will show its latest 4.3-inch and 7.6-inch AMOLED panels during at FPD International 2007 (October 24-26) in Yokohama, Japan. The 7.6-inch product is targeting the digital photo frame market. Meanwhile, the Taiwan AMOLED supplier expects to ship 8.1-inch segment products in the second half of 2008.

Visitors to the OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Booth #215 at the CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles® EXPO in Las Vegas, April 20-21, will be able to not only imagine, but actually experience what a home of the future could be like with several installations of its latest OLED products.

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors will debut several new Pictiva™ OLED products at the CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles EXPO including: The Calgary 2.7-inch 128x64 dot display, the Miami 5-inch 384x128 dot display, and the Zurich 6.5-inch 256x32 dot display.

OSD announces the addition of an improved 2.7 diagonal 128x64 pixel PLED module with 4-bit grayscale. Available with either green or yellow pixels, the new OSD2401-M04-1 offers extended operational lifetimes of up to 55k hours with 75 cd/m2 brightness for the Yellow version at 25C.

The OSD12864-M04-1 has an Active Area of 61.41mm (W) x 30.69 (H). The display pixels are 0.45mm (H) x 0.45mm (W). Overall panel size is 74.0mm (W) x 42.0mm (H) x 2.2mm (T). For ease of integration, the module is available with or without a metal bezel. Addition of the metal bezel offers mounting tabs with only a slight increase in overall footprint. To further facilitate integration the TAB driver offers software image rotation and user selectable 4-wire serial or 8-bit parallel interface.

The OSD12864-M04-1 is fully RoHS compliant. It is currently in mass production and samples are available.

MED, the AIM listed designer and manufacturer of low-power light emitting polymer displays, announces that it has signed a stocking and distribution agreement with Cytech Technology, one of the leading distributors of electronic components in Hong Kong and China.

In conjunction with the distribution agreement Cytech has placed a significant stocking order for the product. This order takes the cumulative value of the supply contracts signed to date to in excess of $10 million.

For the Optimus-103 OLEDs have to be custom-made. We have to choose the manufacturer next week (there are some of them), define the specs and finance every production stage including the tooling. Tooling itself costs a minimum of US$70-100k. Production cycle takes at least three months. Every display costs about US$10. Multiply that by the number of active keys.

OSD announces the release of its latest character PLED module, the OSD1601-D. This new 1 line by 16 character PLED module has an overall mechanical dimension of 122mm x 33mm x 8.9mm. Its high contrast characters are 4.51mm x 8.6mm contributing to a display active area of 84.31mm x 8.6mm. 

When compared to negative mode LCD modules the OSD1601-D offers significant power savings. Typical current consumption with 25% pixel utilization, a full screen of characters, at 40 nits is

The PLED module offers a wide operating temperature range. Since the PLED material is a solid state light emitter it s response time is unaffected by changes in ambient temperature. Response time (40us rise and fall) and contrast (>100:1), unlike LCD, are the same at -20C as they are at +70C. Storage temperature ranges from -30C to +80C.

The interface is fully HD44780 compatible, allowing the OSD1601-D to be easily integrated into existing LCD designs. Please contact OSD for price.

eMagin Corporation will begin shipping pre-production version samples of the world’s smallest pixel-pitch display. The SVGA-3DS will be available in limited quantities with a custom interface design & reference kit (IDRK) in December.

Employing the company’s OLED-XL™ technology, the SVGA-3DS microdisplay offers both analog and digital signal processing in a compact (0.44-inch) display with both analog and digital interface capability imbedded, making it an even more affordable, easy-to-integrate solution for many virtual imaging systems.

The new SVGA-3DS microdisplays eliminate the need for extra circuitry and components while allowing for a smaller display module design with increased functionality. Specific improvements include improved pixel uniformity, extremely high contrast (measured in the lab at 10,000:1), improved color gamut, on-chip temperature sensor, and luminance compensation over the entire mil spec range, while retaining the high energy efficiency and high video speed characteristics of eMagin’s approx. 0.6-inch diagonal OLED microdisplays.
