NanoPhotonica develops new QLED display technology
Mar 4th
Last month we reported about Samsung’s new 4″ active-matrix QLED display prototype , and now we hear that NanoPhotonica has developed new QLED technology (which they call S-QLED). Compared to current available OLED displays, S-QLED use fewer layers, is solution-processable (and can be produced using inkjet printing) and uses inorganic materials. In fact NanoPhotonica claims that S-QLED displays will be 75% cheaper than current OLEDs, be more efficient (by 30%) and will have double the lifetime. NanoPhotonica is currently working with several display manufacturers to commercialize the displays. The company hopes to bring this to market “soon”. read more

Winstar is showing new graphic monochrome (yellow) PMOLED displays for automobiles. We do not have a lot of information yet (we’re not sure if these are in production at all) besides this photo: The company has also released 3 new monochrome yellow 128×64 PMOLED modules. Two modules are 2.4″ in size (but one is with a bezel, and the other is without). The third module is 2.7″ in size. All three modules have built-in SSD1305 driver IC and offer paraller (6800 or 8080), Serial SPI and I2C interfaces. read more

Super AMOLED Plus resolution explained
Feb 14th
Earlier today we posted about the Super AMOLED plus resolution – and now we got our answer. It turns out that my calculations about the pentile matrix were incorrect – it fact it uses 2 sub-pixels for each pixel while a ‘real’ RGB matrix (or Real-Stripe as Samsung calls it) uses 3 sub-pixels for each pixels – and here’s your 50% increase. Here’s Samsung’s own image showing the difference: It also turns out that a Real-Stripe matrix also takes up more space per pixel. This explains why a 4.3″ display that uses Real-Stripe has the same resolution as a 4″ with a penTile matrix. But this display should actually be clearer because of the added sub-pixels and better matrix design. read more

Remember the man with the OLED hat at CES ? He was showing Recom’s OLED Video-Name Tag products (with a 2.8″, 320×240 OLED display). Now we’ve found a video of this guy: Recom’s OLED tags last for about 6 hours and Recom thinks it’ll be useful for waiters, business man, promoters, service reps, advertising, etc. They cost $200 each.

Sony PSP2 to have an OLED display?
Jan 24th
There are some reports from Japan that the new Sony PSP2 mobile gaming console will have an OLED display. The report says that the display will be ‘larger than normal’ – the original PSP has a 3.8″ (480×272) LCD, so we assume that the OLED will be 4″ or more. Sony are expected to announce the new PSP later this week. Other unofficial features include 3G support (for over-the-air multiplayer gaming and game downloads) and Wi-Fi. This is not the Playstation Phone that is also expected from Sony, and the PSP2 will not include phone capabilities.
