Organic light emitting diode displays its strengths

Display and embedded systems solutions provider Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced the availability of high-performance, medium-size OLED (organic light emitting diode) displays from Japan-based display supplier JOLED. Employing innovative printed OLED technology, JOLED displays are said to deliver “outstanding optical performance and offer superb blur-free image quality when displaying fast moving video sequences”.

The latest printed OLED display technology from JOLED are described as offering exceptionally thin and lightweight display panels, enhanced colours, wide viewing angles, up to 4K (3840 x 2160 pixel) resolution, and nearly infinite contrast ratios. There are three medium size OLED panels currently available, including 22”, 27” and 32”, all featuring 4K resolution and an embedded DisplayPort (eDP) data interface. Also under development is a 14.0” FHD (1920 x 1080 pixel) panel.

“In comparison with existing LCD display modules, printed OLED panels provide significant performance advantages, in terms of contrast ratio, colour gamut, response time and luminance characteristics, adds RDS.

Leading features of JOLED displays include:

• High contrast – contrast ratios of 1,000,000:1 enable highly saturated, deep, dark blacks and brighter whites at all viewing angles
• Enhanced colour – a colour gamut of 138% (sRGB) delivers high colour saturation and accurate colour reproduction enabling superb image quality with 10-bit colour depth
• Energy efficient – OLED is a self-illuminating emissive display technology - each individual picture element (pixel) can be switched on/off - no backlight is needed
• Ultra-thin and lightweight – display thickness is just 1.3mm due to the simple, effective panel structure, the 32” display panel weighs just 1kg
• Fast response time – typically 0.1mS, significantly faster than typical TFT LCD
• User friendly – up to 40% reduction in blue light emission.

‘Supporting and supplying high performance OLED displays from JOLED represents an exciting and thrilling prospect for RDS and our customers,” says Justin Coleman, display product manager, RDS. “The state-of-the-art printed OLED technology provides truly superb image quality and outstanding optical performance.

"These product characteristics are ideally suited for medical monitoring, broadcast equipment and entertainment systems. We are looking forward to, and eagerly anticipating, developing new business opportunities with these stunning medium-size displays.”
