OLED Watches

OLEDs make it possible to create small (thin) displays, that are bright and power efficient. Such efficient small screens are perfect for wearable devices - such as smart watches.

PMOLED watches

The first OLED watch we are aware of is the Citizen VIRT, released in 2006. The VIRT had Bluetooth connection, and was able to show caller ID, and used a small blue-colored PMOLED.

Over the years, more companies released similar devices with PMOLED displays, such as the Anlong MP4 watch (1.5" 128x128 260K colors OLED) and the APUS OLED Watch with its monochrome small PMOLED displays
