Samsung Unveils Wide Range of OLED TVs and Displays at SID 2009
Here’s a press release from Samsung Mobile Display describing their display at SID 2009 in San Antonio, TX.
SAN ANTONIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Mobile Display (SMD), the world’s largest manufacturer of OLED displays, will exhibit an extensive range of OLED and mobile LCD displays here at Display Week 2009, hosted by the Society for Information Display (SID), June 2-4.
Featured at the Samsung booth are:
Production-ready AM OLED TV
SMD is exhibiting 14.1-inch and 31-inch diagonal OLED TV panels. The 31-inch is the world’s first OLED display that features full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, a color gamut of over 100% NTSC and a ultra-slim design of only 8.9mm – providing outstanding brightness and exceptional image quality. The OLED TV panels can be mass produced through the use of Fine Metal Mask (FMM) technology.
Active Matrix (AM) OLED for the Future
SMD is showing the world’s thinnest “flapping” OLED panel, one that can flutter in a breeze. The super-thin panel is only 0.05mm thin, about one tenth the thickness of OLED panels with a normal glass substrate. It features a high contrast ratio, is polarizer-free and has a pixel resolution of 480 x 272.
SMD also is showing 4.82-inch and 12.1-inch transparent, foldable and ID card displays as well.
AM OLED for Mobile
OLEDs have become an important consideration in mobile design as set makers require smarter displays to accommodate multi-functions.
SMD will exhibit a full line up of mobile displays from a 3.2-inch “real” WVGA to a 7-inch WSVGA. The 3.2-inch WVGA on exhibit is the world’s first OLED display with 310ppi. (pixels per inch).
A significant benefit of OLED panels is that they do not require backlighting, can be made much thinner than traditional displays and consume far less power. Other factors that will drive the expected exponential market growth of OLED technology include faster response time, blur-free motion, a 180-degree viewing angle and potentially lower manufacturing costs.

New Material From Dupont Shows Promise For OLED TVs
Dupont OLED TV material
Dupont has developed new OLED materials that promise to drastically extend the life of future OLED TVs.
Great advances have been made especially in blue emitting materials;
“In addition, DuPont Displays developed some blue light-emitting materials. Among them, one with color coordinates of (0.14, 0.12) has a current efficiency of 6.0cd/A and a luminance half-life of 38,000 hours when measured with the initial luminance of 1,000cd/m2, according to the company.”
For deeper blues, “If the initial luminance is set at 200cd/m2, which is required for a display, the luminance half-life is calculated to be approximately 41,000 hours,” DuPont Displays said.”
This is far ahead of the current OLED TV material longevity specifically the short blue half-life of the Sony XEL-1 OLED TV.

Epson’s OLED TV Printing Technology
– TOKYO, Japan, May 26, 2009 –
Seiko Epson Corporation today announced it has established inkjet technology that enables the uniform deposition of organic material in the production of large-screen organic light-emitting diode (OLED) televisions. The new technology represents a major step toward the realization of 37-inch and larger full-HD OLED TVs by resolving the uneven layering that had previously been an issue with the inkjet method.
OLED televisions are the odds-on favorite to supplant current technologies as the next generation display. Offering outstanding viewing characteristics, including high contrast, wide viewing angle and fast response time, OLED TVs are also lightweight, ultra-thin, and have low power requirements. A major roadblock preventing mass production of large-screen OLED TVs has been the lack of a technology capable of reliably forming uniform organic layers on large substrates. Vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE), currently the most widely used method of depositing organic materials, is surrounded by technical hurdles that have prevented it from solving the layer uniformity issue and making the jump to mass production of large panels. An inkjet process that deposits organic material in liquid form has long been viewed as the ideal alternative.
