Ultra-high-brightness color OLED microdisplay attracts research funding
Andrew Sculley, President and CEO of eMagin, said: “In September 2014 we demonstrated a full color WUXGA display with 9.6 micron pixels running at 7,000 nits using our proprietary technology. We believe this is the brightest ever full color OLED micro-display. With this new contract we recently signed, we expect to approximately double the brightness. We have a significant lead in developing the technology for highly power efficient, small form factor, high contrast, ultra-high-brightness, full color OLED microdisplays. This new contract will help us extend our lead. Our recent demonstration was a very high resolution display, better than full HD (1920 x 1200), at a pixel pitch as small as our other displays (9.6 microns). These full color displays are much higher brightness and much more power efficient because they don’t use color filters. These displays are ideally suited for applications from avionics (both commercial and military) to the consumer data glass wearables market. These are the only displays that demonstrate the very high contrast at high brightness typically needed for avionics. This brightness plus our thinner, smaller form factor and the inherent lower power than LCOS or LCD technologies make our display highly attractive for the consumer data glass market. Our displays can be made less than 1.8mm thick.”
The new contract will result in further enhanced brightness (approximately double the 7,000 nits) that will be attractive for other applications requiring ultra-high-brightness, high resolution and high contrast microdisplays. The active matrix feature delivers crisp, high-contrast imagery via eMagin’s True Black pixel technology. The screen turns on instantly at low temperatures without the need for heaters and is built to high commercial and military ruggedness standards. This technology exhibits much lower color shift with angle than standard OLED microdisplays. The approach offers a high-resolution microdisplay with extended luminance performance without the need for a back light, illuminator, or separate drive circuitry which are necessary for LCOS or LCD technology microdisplays.
