Winstar details their PMOLED, flexible OLEDs and OLED lighting developments
Winstar , a leading PMOLED producer from Taiwan, hosted a seminar in June 2014, and they gave two OLED lectures – describing their OLED products in the present and the future development expected from Winstar. There’s some interesting details in there. First of all, while Winstar is currently producing glass-based PMOLEDs, the company is also developing flexible PMOLED panels. One of the major challenges is encapsulation and Winstar is using ALD technology for this at the moment, developed in collaboration with ITRI .

Wisechip shows its latest PMOLEDs at the TADF Workshop in Japan
about 1 month ago - No comments
Wisechip , the Taiwan-based PMOLED maker, demonstrated its latest display panels and prototypes at the TADF Workshop last week in Fukuoka, Japan. This was an impressive display and a great chance to experience the latest PMOLEDs displays from Wisechip. So first up we have the company’s transparent PMOLED. This is a 4.1″ (106×37.9 mm) segmented T-OLED specifically aimed for automotive HUD applications. The display has 4 colors (red, orange, green and blue) and offers a typical brightness of 800 nits (max is 1,500 nits). According to Wisechip the display will soon hit the market for a specific automotive partner. Read more about Wisechip shows its latest PMOLEDs at the TADF Workshop in Japan
Business Korea says Google aims to invest in LGD to secure VR OLED display capacity
about 1 month ago - No comments
Business Korea reports that LG Display is in talks with Google regarding a large investment in LGD’s OLED facilities towards the development and production of VR displays. BK says the investment will amount of hundreds of billions of Won (equivalent to hundreds of millions USD). LGD VR prototype, March 2017 The report is somewhat confusing, though. On the one had it says that Google is interested in OLED microdisplays, and on the other it says that LG will produce the displays in its existing flexible AMOLED lines, which use a different technology than microdisplays (which are produced on Silicon).

Fluxim releases a new version of its large-area OLED simulation software, OLED-Info readers get a 20% discount
about 1 month ago - No comments
Leading simulation and measurement tool provider Fluxim recently released a new version of its large-area OLED simulation software LAOSS. The new version adds a simulation capability for temperature estimation and cross-coupling the temperature generated by the device operation itself (in the organic stack and the electrodes) and the changes in device operation due to this increased temperature (leading again to different heat generation and so on). LAOSS is a software tool that simulates large area semiconductor devices (OLED and PV), taking into account the voltage drop in the electrodes due to important resistive effects when the size of the device increases. LAOSS facilitates electrode layout optimization and material choice, which can save substantial time and resources. Both OLED lighting panel design and study of AMOLED pixel cross-talk is just a click away.

The EU PI-SCALE project launches a flexible OLED lighting design competition
about 1 month ago - No comments
In March 2016 the EU launched the PI-SCALE with an aim to create a European-wide pilot line which will enable companies of all sizes to quickly and cost effectively test and scale up their flexible OLED lighting concepts and turn them into market ready products. PI-SCALE members recently managed to produce 10-meter long OLED lighting panels . The PI-SCALE project now launched a flexible OLED design competition, calling out designers to propose OLED lighting and signage applications that highlight the special features of OLED technology: foldable, twistable, bendable, conformable, transparency, large area illumination.

LGD announces $7 billion in new OLED investments: a 10.5-gen and 6-Gen lines in Paju and a 8.5-Gen line in Guangzhou
about 1 month ago - No comments
LG Display announced its results for Q2 107 – revenues increased 13% from 2016 to KRW6.63 trillion (around $6 billion USD) and net income reached KRW737 billion ($660 million USD). TV panels accounted for 46% of LGD’s revenues, mobile devices 22% and desktop monitors and tablets and notebook displays accounted for the rest. In addition to the earning results, LGD detailed its investment path for OLEDs, as was decided in a recent board meeting. First of all, LGD decided to build a 10.5-Gen (2940×3370 mm) OLED line in its upcoming P10 fab in Paju. LGD will make an up-front investment of KRW2.8 trillion ($2.5 billion USD). The whole fab will require more investments but LGD says it is taking a prudent approach – it will only begin mass production of OLED TVs after stabilizing the technology for these extra large size substrates.

In March 2016 the EU launched a new project, called, PI-SCALE , that aims to create a European-wide pilot line which will enable companies of all sizes to quickly and cost effectively test and scale up their flexible OLED lighting concepts and turn them into market ready products. PI-SCALE members started to produce sample panels – and can currently make long films up to 10 meters in size. You can see such sheets (cut to 1.8 meters) in the video above, taken at SID DisplayWeek. Read more about EU's PI-SCALE project can now produce 10 meter long OLED Lighting panels
The new Audi A8 sports OLED rearlights
about 2 months ago - No comments
Audi unveiled its flagship luxuries sedan, the new Audi A8 – which will go on sale towards the end of 2017 in Germany. This car includes several new technologies – including the first Level 3 assisted driving (which can drive completely autonomously in slow traffic jams). The new A8’s front lighting uses HD Matrix LED headlamps with Audi laser lighting, and the rear lights use OLED lighting. It’s not clear whether the OLED lighting is optional as was the case with Audi’s first OLED car, the 2016 TT RS . The new A8 also includes an OLED display for passengers in the back that can be used to control the car’s infotainment systems. Read more about The new Audi A8 sports OLED rearlights
Video shows LG Display’s latest displays shown at SID DisplayWeek
about 2 months ago - No comments
A new video shows LG’s large SID DisplayWeek 2017 booth. The video begins with some displays we have seen before – LG’s latest wallpaper OLED TVs and its Crystal Sound OLED system , but then continues to show some new displays. LG demonstrated two flexible OLEDs for mobile devices – a 5.5″ QHD (1440,2560, 538 PPI) panel and a 5.7″ FHD (388 PPI) panel. Both are plastic-based and are conformable (edge-type). The displays offer a brightness of 350 nits. LG says the 5.7″ FHD is now in mass production, while the 5.5″ QHD will be ready in Q2 2017 (which means it’s should already be in production). The video also shows a glimpse of LG’s “VR displays” – but no details are given (this was for some reason labeled as confidential).

UDC accelerates its OVJP R&D, shows how the process works
about 2 months ago - No comments
Universal Display recently announced that it is accelerating OVJP R&D, and the company is looking to commercialize this technology with partners. UDC expects it to take a few years before OVJP can really be deployed in production. The company published the video below that shows off the technology and explains the basic principles and advantages. OVJP stands for Organic Vapor Jet Printing, and the basic idea is to use a gas-stream based process that resembles ink-jet printing but one that uses evaporation OLED materials which outperform soluble ones. In an OVJP process, the OLED materials are evaporated into a carrier gas that delivers them to a jet engine for direct printing of patterned OLED layers. OVJP is intended for large-area OLED displays and can be scaled up to 10-Gen substrates according to UDC. Read more about UDC accelerates its OVJP R&D, shows how the process works
