What They Say

“Strengths of OLED

Wide Viewing Angle Because an OLED becomes self-emissive through organic material, its viewing angle is far wider than an LCD. This wide viewing angle can provide great improvements in a wide variety of product applications. It also offers new design concepts to industrial designers who were before limited by the constraints of traditional LCD

Fast Response Time A slow response time is one of the main problems with existing LCD technology. Applications, which require animation, are limited to a certain extent with traditional LCD. OLED offers 1,000 timers quicker than in response speed which reduces design constraint of displays.

Low Power Consumption Because backlight is not required for OLED, the power consumption is lower than a LCD module. This can increase the lifetime of batteries for portable products.

Compact size Since a backlight is not required for OLED, lightweight and extremely thin displays can be applied to many products, opening up a wide range of new design possibilities.

High Brightness & Contrast OLED offers a drastically higher level of brightness and contrast as compared to LCD.”

What Others Say

“Made of nanostructured polymer films, OLED screens emit their own light and are lighter, smaller and more energy efficient than conventional liquid crystal displays. To marketing and branding experts, the fact that three Fortune 500 heavyweights are vying to make OLED technology a consumer proposition suggests that the market for next generation nano-powered displays will be a real contest. According to research firm DisplaySearch, the market for OLED displays will grow from $112 million worldwide in 2002 to $3.1 billion by 2007.”
