OLED Displays
Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology was invented in the 1980's, initially by Kodak researchers. Since then
there have emerged two competing types of technologies. One was Eastman Kodak's molecular type, Small Molecule OLED (SMOLED).
The other was the Large Molecule or polymer type OLED (PLED). This thick film technology was mostly developed at the University
of Cambridge, which spawned Cambridge Display Technologies (CDT).
OLED Advantages
OLED panels are emissive so they do not require a separate backlight like LCD technology does. The elimination of the backlight
helps reduce the OLED display's overall power consumption when compared to LCDs. The OLED also does not suffer from loss of contrast
due to bleed through of the backlight in the "off" pixels. OLEDs, being emissive, have a consistent contrast ratio greater than 100:1
with no limitation in viewing angle.
Since OLEDs are solid state devices they do not suffer from temperature related response time delays and contrast changes. OLEDs
offer a wide temperature range, -20C to +60C operation, -40C to +70C storage with no change in response times.
