NHK has improved the resolution of their organic TFT (OTFT) flexible OLED panel by four times. The flexible OLED is a 5" 320x240 (QVGA), 80ppi panel. In its 318um-wide pixel (their previous panel's pixel size was 600um) the red, green and blue subpixels are transversely arranged. Its frame frequency is 60Hz.

The gate insulating film was formed by a coating method, which is suited for a large-area panel. The OLED layer was formed by an evaporation method using a low-molecular phosphorescent material.

Sony is showing off a new 4.1" rollable OLED display at SID 2010. The new display has a 423x240 resolution (121ppi) with 16.8 million colors and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. It's only 80 um thick...

Sony has developed an organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) that use a peri-Xanthenoxanthene (PXX) derivative, and then integrated the OLED on the substrate.

The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University today announced that the UK's PETEC (Printable Electronics Technology Center) has become an Associate Member to collaborate on high-performing organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) for flexible display applications. OTFTs has potential in all sorts of display technologies such as e-paper and OLEDs.

The FDC is also working with UDC on flexible OLEDs. Earlier in 2009, they have already demonstrated a 4.1" monochrome QVGA PHOLED display.

PETEC was opened in March 2009. One of the companies that are building a production line is PolyPhotonix, who are working on OLED lighting.

Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) reports that it got authorization from ITRI (Taiwan's Research Institute) to use their organic TFT (OTFT) tech. CPT will be developing active-matrix flexible displays.

Cambridge Display Technology has announced that it has been successful in its application for a 2006 Fast Track grant to develop electronic design automation software (EDA) for use in organic TFT-based (OTFT) electronic applications. This not only marks the entry of CDT into the OTFT space but will also be important in the development of displays using OTFTs, in particular flexible displays based on plastic substrates.

The project will extend the use of EDA software to organic semiconductor (OSC) materials, and accelerate the development of low-cost fabrication techniques for organic displays on both flexible and rigid substrates. It will enable the faster development of advanced structures, devices and circuits and expand the application space for organic electronics.
