Shanghai Tianma to build a 4.5-Gen AMOLED pilot production line in a $72 million investment
Aug 26th
Shanghai Tianma has decided to build a pilot AMOLED production line (4.5-Gen) in a $72 million investment (the company will apply for a $40 million government funding). The pilot line will be placed within Tianma’s existing 4.5-Gen LCD production line, and will output around 1000 glass substrates monthly. This will probably be China’s second AMOLED pilot line, as Visionox’s one is already online today . Via OLEDW

Transparent Light OLED Origami
Aug 10th
Universal Display has created a nice demo of their transparent OLED lighting panels – the Transparent Light Origami (TLO). It is made from 16 triangular glass PHOLED (Phosphorescent-OLEDs) panels that glow in either red, blue or green. When turned off, the panels are clear. Each panel is connected to the next via a friction hinge, so the structure can be folded and bent into a variety of shapes. The design of the TLO was inspired by the observation that colors emitted by overlapping transparent PHOLED panels combine in an additive way, as is the case with overlapping PHOLED materials in an OLED panel. Red and green produces yellow, red and blue produces magenta, etc. All three colors overlapping produce white light. As illustrated by the TLO, when overlapping layers of red, green and blue PHOLED materials are sandwiched within a single panel, white light is emitted.

APUS OLED watch review
Aug 8th
The nice guys over at APUS has kindly sent me an OLED watch for review. This is their Alpha Dark Force, which uses a blue PMOLED (they have other watches that use red or white PMOLEDs). APUS are selling the phones on-line in their web shop . The watches are also available in Amazon.com . The Alpha Dark Force, shown above costs $129 . First impressions When you first take it out of the box, you notice something strange – the display is off. Then you realize that that’s how it’s supposed to be – the watch does not display anything until you press a button. Then it shows you the time for a few seconds, and turns off again. APUS say that this is to preserve the battery, which will drain in a couple of days if the display will be always on

New low-cost OLED lighting project gets funding from the UK
Aug 8th
A new project called TOPDRAWER (Thin organic prototypes, design, research, applications with end-user recognition) has secured funding from the UK government, and will start in early November and will run for 2.5 years. This is actually a followup project to TOPLESS , and is also lead by Thorn lighting. TOPLESS project OLED lamp prototype The consortium will develop and demonstrate a printed manufacturing process that will be integrated into attractive designs that have been created through consultation with potential end-users. The manufacturing process will be proved and tested within PETEC, that will acquire and install a large-area coating line. In June 2008 we interviewed Dr. Geoff Williams, TOPLESS’ manager (and we also assume he will manage the new project). In December 2008, TOPLESS showed a prototype lamp. The efficiency is about 17Lm/W (as there is no out-coupling. With out-coupling the efficiency is over 30Lm/W), each panel operating at 3W. The panels are just 0.7mm thick, made by Sumation with TOPLESS materials read more

AUO will use a third of AFPD’s production lines for AMOLED (15,000 substrates a month)
Aug 3rd
AU Optronics has acquired Toshiba Mobile Display’s subsidiary, AFPD . AFPD had a Gen-4.5 LTPS plant. Now we hear that AUO plans to use a third of the lines in that plant for AMOLED production. This means 15,000 substrates a month in 2011. AUO’s own Gen 3.5 factory (which will also go in line in 2011 ) will contribute 7,000 monthly substrates. AUO 14-inch OLED prototype

UDC extends their OLED license agreement with Samsung for 3 months
Jul 14th
Samsung have been using UDC’s PHOLED materials (red, and soon green) for quite some time – the original agreement was announced in 2005 . The agreement has expired, and the companies agreed to extend it for 3 months (until September 30th). Universal Display and Samsung will negotiate in an effort to enter into a new business arrangement.
