Power consumption - Page 46

Nippon Steel Chemical and Universal Display (UDC) today announced a collaboration to develop new markets for red phosphorescent OLED materials. As the background of this collaboration, there is the fact that a commercially-available red host material from NSCC is compatible with commercially-available red phosphorescent OLED emitters from Universal Display.
By using red phosphorescence, overall power consumption of the display can be reduced by more than 40% as compared to using fluorescent red OLEDs. The combination of Universal Display's red PHOLED materials and NSCC's host material, called NS11, offers very efficient, highly desirable red colors with long operational lifetime. These products are currently available for evaluation and commercial use from the two companies.

eMagin Corporation today announced the first four product offerings of its breakthrough OLED-XL(TM) microdisplay portfolio. eMagin's proprietary OLED-XL displays provide a new level of high performance imaging, with up to 410,000 hours luminance life, the widest temperature range, and the lowest power requirement of any commercially available SVGA resolution microdisplay system.

Novaled and Ciba Specialty Chemicals announce an industrial collaboration in the field of OLED materials. Ciba Specialty Chemicals will produce the unique organic dopant and transport materials developed by Novaled.

The unique organic dopant and transport materials for its proprietary OLED technology Novaled PIN OLED(TM) allow OLED devices to perform with the highest power efficiency. While Ciba Specialty Chemicals will produce these materials using its specific know how in the synthesis of organic materials in reliable highest purity, Novaled will continue to market the materials. The two companies will also collaborate in the development of future OLED products and platforms based on the Novaled's technology and materials.

NTERA and Seiko Epson today announced they have successfully produced working prototypes featuring the world's highest resolution naturally reflective electronic displays using NTERA's visualDNA(TM) brand electrochromic display technology. The prototypes feature 200 dpi and 400 dpi QVGA resolution and were produced using Epson's solution processable inkjet methods.

NTERA's technology reflects any ambient light, including bright sunlight, to make images always visible. It features ink-on-paper appearance at a fraction of the power consumption of existing electronic displays by eliminating backlights, a significant power drain in mobile devices. "Existing LCD and emerging OLED technologies fight the sun - we use it!" said Mr. Ritz.

Canon has demonstrated a prototype digital SLR camera using an OLED display, which will help extend battery life and be easier for photographers to view. Unlike traditional LCD screens, which use coloured filters and a backlight, an OLED generates its own light. This improves the screen's viewing angles and lowers power consumption, both of which are very useful for digital cameras.

Canon’s OLED demonstration used a 2.4" screen with QVGA (320 x 240) resolution, which delivered a bright and detailed image with 167 pixels per inch (ppi).

A joint venture established by Canon and Toshiba to develop and commercialize a new flat-panel display technology called SED (surface-conduction electron-emitter display) will begin trial production of displays this week.

SED technology has been under development for more than 20 years and is being positioned by Canon and Toshiba as a better option for large-screen TVs than PDP (plasma display panel) technology. SED panels can produce pictures that are as bright as CRTs (cathode ray tubes), use up to one-third less power than equivalent size PDPs and don't have the slight time delay sometimes seen with some other flat-panel displays, according to the companies.Canon and Toshiba are hoping to see the first SED televisions available in Japan sometime in the first half of next year.
But before those TVs can come to market the companies must be able to mass produce the SED panels.

As part of their work towards this goal they established SED Inc. in October last year and committed ¥200 billion (US$1.8 billion) towards SED research, development, production and marketing.

OLED company Novaled GmbH has developed a red top emission OLED that produces 10 lumens per watt at 500 candelas per square meter, with a projected lifetime of more than 100,000 hours.

According to Novaled, the OLED achieves a breakthrough by combining the highest power efficiency and longest lifetime for a top emission OLED, using transport layer doping technology. The part uses a red phosphorescent emitter from Covian Organic Semiconductors GmbH with molecular dopant materials from Novaled.

Universal Display Corporation the Company that's lighting the way in developing and commercializing OLED technology for displays, lighting and other opto-electronics, announced today that it has been awarded a nine-month, $98,894 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The goal of this new program is to demonstrate an innovative approach to increase the brightness and power efficiency of white OLED lighting using Universal Display’s proprietary PHOLED™ phosphorescent OLED and OVPD Organic Vapor Phase Deposition technologies.

In this program entitled, High Efficiency White Mesh Phosphorescent OLEDs, the Company will work to increase OLED efficiency and brightness by employing novel emissive layer architectures that are enabled through the use of its proprietary OVPD process technology.

Univeral Display announced a new 6x6 inch white OLED panel that features 30 lm/W - which is the world's most efficient OLED lighting panel to date. UDC's new panel is based on a design that consists of an array of red, green and blue colored stripes. These panels are tunable (by changing the intensity of each primary color).

The 30 lm/W white OLED panel can emit color temperatures between 2900 and 5700 K. The 30 lm/W was achieved at a color temperature of 4000K (like a cool fluorescent lamp). The panel also featured acolor index of over 80 CRI.

With a resolution of 128 x 128 dot in a compact module measuring only 50 x 36mm, the new LPST128128A01-T4 OLED module from Digital Displays generates 256K colours to provide exceptional clarity and vibrant tones.

With a total thickness of only 1.65mm, the LPST128128A01-T4 is guaranteed to fit into the slimmest of cases. The viewing area of 36 x 36mm and dot pitch of 0.21 x 0.21mm ensures that both text and graphic images are easily viewed.
