| Samsung Electronics, the leader in TFT-LCD technology,
announced that it developed the largest single-panel active matrix-based
(AM) Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display.
At 21-inches, this OLED features the highest resolution at 6.22
million pixels (WUXGA: wide ultra-extended graphics array). In addition,
the company adopted AM-based technology for its low power consumption
and high-resolution qualities. Samsung's new OLED offers brightness
of 400 nit, contrast ratio of 5000:1, color gamut of 75 percent
and fast response times, making the product ideal for viewing HD-resolution
video images.
Moreover, the OLED uses Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) technology; thus
can be mass-produced within Samsung's existing
TFT-LCD lines. Samsung Electronics has now applied the a-Si technology
to produce large-sized OLED panels within 4th and 5th generation
production lines.
"With the development of the world's largest OLED at WUXGA
resolution, Samsung has achieved a technological advantage and is
positioned well to be a leader in the large-sized OLED for the TV
market," informs LCD R&D Center senior vice president Jun-Hyung
Souk.
