Seiko Epson Corporation has announced a breakthrough technology that uses inkjet technology to uniformly deposit organic material for the production of OLED TVs in large screen sizes (37-inch & larger OLED TVs).
|
The breakthrough is a major step in developing 37-inch & larger OLED TVs with full HD resolution.
OLED screens offer high contrast ratios, better viewing angles& fast response times to eliminate ghosting & image quality issues. OLED screens also need less power than comparably sized plasma and LCD screens.
The Seiko/Epson breakthrough uses a proprietary Micro Piezo inkjet technology to achieve a much greater accuracy in organic material deposition than current technology.
Current OLED construction methods using vacuum thermal evaporation technology has a technical limitation that prevents it from being used to create large screen OLED TVs.
Epson says that more details about the new construction method will be presented at SID 2009 on June 2 in San Antonio Texas (US). A 14-inch prototype OLED TV with HD resolution built using the process will be showed.
