Flexible Full-Colour OLED Display Prototype Unveiled
Posted by Darius Wey in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
"The future of OLED display technology will take a major step forward today when Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL) announces the achievement of a full-color, active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display prototype on flexible metal foil at the United States Display Consortium's 5th Annual Flexible Displays & Microelectronics Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. In the paper titled "Full Color 100 dpi AMOLED Displays on Flexible Stainless Steel Substrates," Dr. Anna Chwang will highlight the performance characteristics of a novel flexible, full-color AMOLED display prototype that is based on the Company's proprietary phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED), top-emitting OLED (TOLED) and flexible OLED (FOLED) technologies. The full-color AMOLED prototype also uses poly-Silicon thin film transistor (TFT) backplanes designed and fabricated by PARC, a subsidiary of Xerox Corporation, and was encapsulated by Vitex Systems."
Rollable displays have just taken a positive step. Universal Display Corporation's OLED 4", 100dpi display prototypes are each just 0.1mm thick, weigh 6g, and are capable of full-colour output. It has the DoD's magic touch, so only the research departments of the Air Force and Army have access to them. But, give a few years, and I'm sure they'll make their way into the consumer electronic market.
