Samsung SDI to Develop the Industry's First wVGA OLED Panel.


PenTile RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity).  Technology from Clairvoyante, Inc. Makes It Possible to Overcome Performance and Manufacturing Challenges Typical of High-Resolution 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.  Panels

For electrical transmission, it uses a high grade of coaxial cable and a single BNC connector with Teflon insulation.  will produce the world's first high-resolution active matrix organic light emitting diode See LED.  (AMOLED AMOLED Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode

) panel, using PenTile[R] subpixel rendering Subpixel rendering is a way to increase the apparent resolution of a computer's liquid crystal display (LCD). It takes advantage of the fact that each pixel on a color LCD is actually composed of individual red, green, and blue subpixel stripes to anti-alias text with greater  technology from Clairvoyante, Inc. By incorporating Clairvoyante's PenTile RGB technology, Samsung SDI is able to develop the first handheld wVGA (480 x 800) OLED PenTile RGB panel, overcoming the manufacturing and performance challenges that have previously complicated high-resolution OLED production.

, GPS and video, where exceptional detail and viewability is required. Samsung SDI OLED technology can result in the industry's thinnest packages for mobile applications and produces power-efficient displays with extraordinary viewing characteristics.

Currently, OLEDs are available in display formats only up to qVGA (240 x 320). Until now, OLED manufacturers have been challenged to achieve formats of greater than qVGA that also retain the lifetime and performance necessary for the handheld market. PenTile technology makes it possible to attain this improved performance by eliminating one-third of the subpixels while maintaining the same display resolution.

Samsung SDI anticipates a strong future for OLED technology, recently investing in additional capacity to support new demand. Industry research group Display Search shares this optimism, predicting that the AMOLED market to grow to US$5.58 billion by 2011, up from US$220.5 million in 2007. Samsung has been fabricating OLED panels since August 2002, with applications in car audio, electronic games Electronic Games was the first video game magazine published in the United States and ran from 1981 to 1985. Co-founded by Arnie Katz, Joyce Worley and Bill Kunkel, it is unrelated to the subsequent Electronic Gaming Monthly. , MP3 players and recently cell phones.

"Our partnership with Clairvoyante will create a new PenTile OLED panel that will lead the handheld market with a power-efficient, high-resolution OLED panel that supports continued innovation in emerging handheld applications," said Sung-Chul Kim, Samsung SDI vice president.

Availability

Samples are expected to be available in the first quarter of 2008, with mass production anticipated by the third quarter of 2008. The new module will be demonstrated at Flat Panel Display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time  International in Yokohama, Japan at Pacifico Yokohama Pacifico Yokohama (パシフィコ横浜) is a convention center in Japan located in the western region of Minato Mirai Nishi-ku Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.  October 24-26 in Samsung SDI's booth #571 and Clairvoyante's booth #781.
