OLED display modules

4D Systems have recently released a new and improved range of custom graphics processors and display modules:

• The GOLDELOX-GFX2 (enhanced GOLDELOX-GFX): an embedded 4DGL graphics controller. The chip is designed to interface with many popular OLED and LCD display panels.
• New PMOLED modules: The modules are compact and cost effective, with an embedded GOLDELOX-GFX2 graphics processor that delivers ‘stand-alone’ functionality to any project. Powerful graphics, text, image, animation and countless more features are built inside the GOLDELOX-GFX2 chip.
• The GOLDELOX-SGC(8-bit) and the PICASO-SGC(16-bit): intelligent Serial Graphics Controllers designed to interface with many popular color OLED and LCD display panels.
• Smart Serial Display Modules: from a tiny 0.96" OLED module all the way up to 3.2" TFT to suit most small to medium size graphics user interface applications.

OSD displays has released a new 0.96" PM-OLED. The display has 2 areas: a 128x16 yellow section and a 128x48 light-blue section. The overall thickness is just 1.45mm.It's got a fast response time (<50us rise and fall time temperature independent), and a high contras ration (over 1000:1).

The PMOLED features a Solomon Systech driver IC. Typical power consumption: less than 150mW.

OSD are now shipping samples of their new 5.5" PMOLED display (256x64 pixel), the OSD5664ASGGF01, announced in May 2009.

This monochrome OLED supports up to 16 levels of grayscale and features the Solomon Systech driver IC that supports 8-bit 6800/8080 Parallel or 3-/4-wire SPI data interface. Overall panel size is 146.0mm(H) x 45.0mm(V) x1.6mm(D). Viewing area is 135.65mm(H) x 33.89mm(V) mm.

Metku.net has posted a comprehensive review of a couple of OLED modules (including a touch one) from 4D Systems. They like the panels, think they are very easy to use, but also notes that these are not the cheapest modules, of course, being OLED.

Metku tested two modules - a 0.96" OLED (µOLED-96-G1), and a 2.4" with Touch (µOLED-32024-P1T), and provide a lot of photos, code example, videos and explanations. 

MicroOLED says they will mass production their OLED microdisplay by the end of 2009. The MicroOLED microdisplays boast 25µm sub-pixel area, 25mW power consumption and good video-imaging quality, all that with 'TV resolution'.

MicroOLED are also working on HDTV resolution displays with even smaller pixel pitch.

GPEG (a UK based display reseller) has released a new green-monochrome 5.5" (ultra-wide) PMOLED module, the FD025664. The display features 256x64 resolution, 2000:1 contrast, 160 degrees viewing angle and 120 cd/m2 brightness.

The display is aimed towards DAB radios, and GPEG says they can change the color to yellow or white for high volume applications.

Samsung Mobile Displays announced a new AMOLED panel, with WVGA (800x480) resolution at 300 PPI. SMD says that the new panel will be shipping in 2009.

SMD claims the new AMOLED has 4 times the clarity of their current displays and has a 40% increase in power efficiency (although it's not clear, they might mean 40% decrease in power consumption compared to an LCD panel...).

Here's the original news in Korean, and  translated via Google.

OSD is releasing a new 5.5" 256-64 PMOLED display - which is a monochrome green graycale panel (16 levels of grayscale).

A few months ago OSD released the 4.3" AMOLED by CMEL. now we get a short video clip:

The resolution is 480x272 and the contrast ratio is 1:10000. The panel is now available, contact us for details

OSD announces the release of its new OSD0283AMQV-T 2.8” inch diagonal QVGA Active Matrix Organic LED (AMOLED) module. This new full color module has an increased lifetime rating that is now over 30k hours. This highly configurable display module supports multiple interface types; 18-/16-/6-bit RGB (DCLK,VSYNC,HSYNC,DE), Intel/Motorola MPU 18-/16-/9-/8-bit bus interface.
