Polymer-OLED microdisplay excites interest

MicroEmissive Displays has received a GBP 2 million order for its new polymer-OLED eyescreen microdisplay.

MicroEmissive Displays (MED) has received a GBP 2 million order for its new polymer-OLED eyescreen microdisplay.

The order, from a manufacturer of consumer products in the Far East, will also be the first to ship from the company's new manufacturing facility in Dresden.

"This order is first proof of MED's assertions that the image quality and battery saving, coupled with the small size and weight allowed by integration of backlight and driver electronics, all make the eyescreen the ideal component for portable consumer products", said Bill Miller, CEO, MicroEmissive Displays The order relates to MED's new eyescreen ME3204 microdisplay.

The new device is a compact 6mm colour P-OLED QVGA display.

The P-OLED technology is emissive and so does not require a backlight; as a result eyescreen ME3204 is ideal for portable applications such as video glasses or head-mounted displays, electronic view finders and night vision systems.

The microdisplay can be combined with magnifying optics to produce a large virtual image that appears to the eye to be equivalent in dimensions to the picture on a TV screen or computer display.

In addition eyescreen ME3204 features a digital video interface together with an integrated display driver eliminating the need for additional driver ICs.

This design feature saves space and reduces both power consumption and BoM costs.
