Best oled microdisplay yet 20/11/2008
 
oled, microdisplays The technical collaboration between Microoled and CEA-Leti has created an oled microdisplay with the finest pixel pitch and the lowest power consumption reported to date. With 1.7million sub pixels and a power consumption said to be up to four times less than other emissive technologies, the 0.38in wvga microdisplay is based on technology licensed from Thomson and CEA. According to the partners, the device is likely to find application in digital cameras and video glasses.
“This achievement opens the door for high picture quality electronic viewfinders for cameras, but also enables the market of high definition video eyeglasses for mobile video applications,” said Eric Marcellin-Dibon, Microoled’s ceo. “We are very satisfied with the close collaboration of CEA-LETI.”
Laurent Malier, CEA-Leti’s ceo, added: “Marrying the capabilities of cmos and the flexibility of oled offers a unique route to microdisplays with unequalled resolution and brightness. We foresee a tremendous potential of applications for theses devices. The high resolution and the low power consumption makes it perfect for a large set of nomadic products.”
