TMA is a technology which potentially can be incorporated into driver chips to bring active matrix capabilities to passive matrix displays. TMA reduces power consumption and enhances panel lifetime for a given pixel count in passive matrix displays. Measurements on small passive matrix displays that incorporated the TMA solution, demonstrated at least a 50% reduction in power consumption or exhibited double the display luminescence at the same power consumption.
he TMA driving system applies both to polymer and small molecule OLED displays. CDT is currently considering how to bring the technology to market in the shortest possible time. A working demonstrator has been created using individual electronic components, that exploit the new driver and image processing technologies. This will be developed further in the coming months. CDT is in discussion with OLED display producers and IC driver companies with a view to commencing design work for commercialising TMA as soon as possible.
