Seiko Epson Corp. announced yesterday that it’s made an important step toward realizing bigger and better HD OLED TVs.
OLED televisions offer high contrast, a wide viewing angle, and fast response time, all with low power requirements. The tricky part to the larger screens is in the manufacturing: Mass production is impossible when using conventional methods to deposit the organic materials layer evenly.
Epson’s new fabrication process uses Micro Piezo inkjet technology to enable accurate positioning of the organic material, making 37-inch and larger OLED screens possible. The company’s prototype OLED displays 38 pixels per inch on a 40-inch diagonal screen with 260,000 colors.
Look for the announcement, a prototype demo, and more details at SID 2009.
