eMagin Corporation Introduces World’s Brightest Full-color OLED Microdisplay
November 01 2021 - 7:15AM
eMagin Corporation, or the
“Company,”
(NYSE American: EMAN), a leader in
the development, design and manufacture of Active Matrix OLED
microdisplays for high-resolution, AR/VR and other near-eye imaging
products, has unveiled a new prototype for a widescreen
ultra-extended graphics array (WUXGA) (1920x1200 pixels) that uses
the Company’s Direct Patterning Display (dPd™) technology to
achieve 10,000 candela per square meter (cd/m2) of maximum
luminance, becoming the world’s brightest high-resolution,
full-color OLED microdisplay.
“This is a historic moment for eMagin and the
industry and is our greatest achievement to date in advancing our
proprietary dPd technology,” said eMagin CEO Andrew G. Sculley. “By
applying direct patterning to WUXGA displays, we have reached more
than 10,000 cd/m2, or nits, in maximum luminance and vivid RGB full
color. This represents a 20-fold improvement over our typical white
with color filter XL microdisplays, with brightness three- to
four-times greater than our new XLE microdisplays, and we believe
it is the brightest high-resolution, full-color OLED microdisplay
in the world. We are working with a tier-one consumer company to
develop this technology, including ways of manufacturing it at
commercial scale. Higher brightness and improved resolution will
enable our customers to overcome inefficient optics and implement
new and advanced features that to date have simply not been
technically feasible.
“10,000 cd/m2, full-color brightness is an
important milestone on our roadmap to full-color displays of more
than 28,000 cd/m2 brightness by mid-2023,” added Sculley. “By
comparison, a typical laptop monitor achieves a brightness of 250
cd/m2 while a quality smartphone approaches only 1,000 cd/m2.
Furthermore, our dPd displays contain more than 2,500 individually
addressable pixels per inch (ppi), which generate remarkable
clarity and resolution compared with typical laptop screens of 330
ppi, and OLED smartphones screens of 600 ppi.”
“eMagin’s new full-color OLED micro display
prototype, with high-brightness, high-contrast and high-resolution,
will be sought by consumer, industrial, medical and military
customers for the next generation of AR/VR headsets and devices,”
said Robert J. O’Brien, co-founder of DSCC, a leading display
industry analyst firm. “Displays are the key enabling component for
both AR and VR, so I was very excited to witness the demonstration
of this much-anticipated development in the advancement of this
technology.”
“Our dPd is a process technology that can be
applied to every resolution and form factor of OLED microdisplay,”
said Dr. Amal Ghosh, eMagin’s chief operating officer.
“High-brightness microdisplays based on our dPd technology can be
made to alleviate motion artifacts and allow the use of advanced
optics in AR/VR applications. Further, such inherently
high-efficiency OLED microdisplays reduce power consumption and
image burn-in under identical driving conditions. As we develop
this technology, future dPd milestones will include the addition of
tandem OLED structures and other enhancements that we believe will
take the performance of the AR/VR headsets to even greater
heights.”
