OSRAM Announces Extensive Expansion of Graphic Display Product Line; New Additions, Enhancements to Pictiva Portfolio Ideal for Wide and Varied Applications.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- OSRAM Opto Semiconductors underscores its commitment to the graphic display industry by today announcing extensive expansion plans for its Pictiva(TM) line of organic light-emitting diode Noun 1. organic light-emitting diode - a self-luminous diode (it glows when an electrical field is applied to the electrodes) that does not require backlighting or diffusers OLED (OLED (Organic Light Emitting Device, Organic Light Emitting Diode) A thin film light-emitting technology that is expected to compete with LCD and plasma TVs as well as LCD monitors and readouts. ) graphic display products. By the end of the first quarter of calendar 2005, the company will offer 12 new standard designs in four new colors and three standard formats. This ambitious product line expansion further confirms the company's dedication to provide the widest range of display solutions and cements OSRAM's leadership position in the small-size, graphic display industry. "We are excited to bring the industry such a timely, broad and varied portfolio of new and enhanced graphic display solutions," said Homer Antoniadis, head of OLED product development, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Inc. "Announcing such an extensive line of new products within such a short timeframe enables us to exhibit our strength in the display market and demonstrate our technological expertise. It is our intention to continue to be recognized as the manufacturer that delivers the widest range of products for the growing OLED display market." New Colors OSRAM is pleased to offer 12 new Pictiva standard products with four new colors to address expanding markets and applications in the industrial, medical and white good industries. These industries require a wide variety of colors not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed.

The company also announces significant improvements to the operational lifetime and ambient shelf-life of its existing colors. Elegance yellow now boasts an operational lifetime of 40,000 hours at 100 nits and an ambient shelf-life of eight years. Both clarity orange and light green hold operational lifetimes of 40,000 hours at 70 nits. This wide variety of color options offers customers the flexibility they need to meet the demanding requirements of emerging applications. High Brightness, High Reliability Improvements in the manufacturing process have led to improvements in product reliability, and products can now operate at a higher luminance The amount of brightness, measured in lumens, that is given off by a pixel or area on a screen. For example, dark red and bright red would have the same chrominance, but a different luminance. . OSRAM introduces three new high-performance standard products in elegance yellow that leverage the latest in manufacturing technology. The new 96x64 pixel graphics See bitmapped graphics. Pictiva display with a 1.2-inch diagonal dimension is rated at 200 nits, as is the 80x48, 0.9-inch display. The new 128x64, 1.6-inch diagonal dimension product is rated at 150 nits. All three products offer 10,000 hours half-life and eight years of ambient shelf-life. This is twice the brightness of other OLED products on the market today. Such technological breakthroughs additionally enable other benefits, such as operation in direct sunlight. Designed to address applications requiring adjustable, high-luminance specifications, OSRAM's three new high-performance products are expected to exceed customer expectations in areas such as brightness, reliability and lifetime and can be scaled to meet a customer's high reliability and/or high brightness needs.
