NEW OLED DISPLAY PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FROM CODICO

The new RITDISPLAY standard product catalog is available now through CODICO. Isn't it time you found out more about this manufacturer's innovative products?!

The following table provides a brief overview of RITDISPLAY'S 10 currently available graphic display modules:



RITDISPLAY is concentrating all efforts exclusively toward manufacturing and developing cutting-edge graphic display solutions, a core strategy that it intends to follow well into the future. The company will soon be able to offer modules with QVGA and VGA resolution, to go along with the current maximum of 240x128 dots.

Very soon, RITDISPLAY expects to launch the first full-color OLED display on the market. The exact date of sample availability was not yet announced at the time of writing, but you can be sure it will be in the first quarter of 2003. Data sheets are scheduled for availability in early 2003. The following is an overview of the key technical parameters:

Resolution: 132 x RGB x 176
Screen diagonal: 2"
Colors: 65K
COB technology




Compared to conventional LCD solutions, OLEDs offer a superior viewing angle (> 170°), faster reaction time (only several µs), light emission that requires no background lighting and, as a result, an extremely flat design. Another significant advantage of OLEDs is their excellent contrast (> 100:1), which makes them a true alternative to TFT displays.

With an operating temperature range that extends from -20°C to +70oC, OLEDs are also well suited for industrial applications. Another key parameter is power consumption. Because OLEDs provide light emission without the use of backlighting, they consume less power than LCD solutions. As a result, they are ideally suited for use in portable devices!


Since OLEDs have no need for backlighting or color filters, they are able to do without delicate liquid crystals altogether, unlike TFT LCDs. Not only does that make OLEDs lighter, it also gives them an advantage with respect to luminescence efficiency.
