admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:26:34 +0000

Acuity Brands launched two new OLED luminaries, the Trilia and the Canvis. The Trilia is a modular lamp that uses either two kinds of models (the Tri and the Straight) to create unique network-like design. The Tri section model uses 24 OLED panels (1810 lumens) while the Straight section model uses 8 panels (603 lumens). All the panels feature an efficiency of 60 lm/W, 3500K color temperature, 15,000 hours of lifetime (LT70) and a CRI of over 80. The Canvis is a flexible “sheet of pure luminance” that comes in 4 different configurations: twist, drape, screen and pose. The twist and the Drape use 66 OLED panels (up to 5020 lumens brightness) while the screen and the post configurations use 54 panels (up to 4100 lumens). The Canvis uses the same panels used in the Trilia. As far as we know Acuity is using LG Chem made panels.

Universal Display ‘s management presented in an investor conference (Deutsche Bank’s Clean Tech, Utilities and Power Conference). They gave an interesting introduction to the company and its business. In the Q&A, Sid Rosenblatt, the company’s CFO says that currently their green PHOLED emitter is used in only two products: the Motorola Droid RAZR and the Sony Vita . This is set to change and they expect more products in the second half of 2012. This explains why UDC’s first quarter revenues were lower than expected – while red emitters sales were up 150% over last year, the green emitter sales have dropped, due to low Vita sales and high volume purchases in the previous quarter. read more

NS are currently offering three kinds of panels: a 90×90 mm square, a 280×38 rectangle and a 140×38 mm rectangle. All the panels are 1.9mm thick and feature 30,000 hours lifetime (LT30).

Fraunhofer to show an evaluation kit of their OLED see-through data eye-glasses

admin — Sat, 12 May 2012 17:24:06 +0000

The Fraunhofer Institute has been showing their bi-directional OLED microdisplays for quite some time, and today they said that during SID 2012 they will unveil an evaluation kit of their see-through data eye-glasses for the first time. Fraunhofer’s glasses are made from monochrome VGA bi-directional OLED microdisplays and use special eyetracking algorithms. We don’t have more technical details yet, but the 2011 demo unit inlcuded a monochrome AMOLED display (320×240) and a 160×120 monochrome camera. The brightness was 15,000 cd/m² and the chip size was 0.6″ diagonal. Back then they said they are working on higher resolution displays (VGA and above) and smaller chip sizes (0.5″). So indeed the resolution is now higher (VGA).

Samsung producing sample Super AMOLED Plus HD displays, used in Tizen developer phone?

admin — Sat, 12 May 2012 17:10:42 +0000

Just a few minutes ago we posted about Samsung’s claim that they used Pentile in the Galaxy S3 because it lasts longer. There are some reports however that Samsung already managed to produce Super AMOLED HD Plus 4.8″ display. In fact it is said that they are using this display in a Tizen (open source OS) development model that they handed out to some developers. It may be that Samsung cannot yet mass produce such displays, and so they couldn’t use it in the S3. Anyway we’ll probably know more soon… read more
