OLED televisions have been with us for several years. outstanding image quality with deep blacks and almost endless contrast. However, it has some issues or drawbacks that make it less attractive for certain types of use.
This is for example possible image retention or burning with static pixels or Lower brightness displayed in HDR content compared to conventional LCD technologies. Japan Display, a pioneer in panel printing systems, aims to change this with its new production method. much more competitive OLED panels.
It’s not a new technology like Samsung’s QD-OLED, evolution in the production process It was one of the classic WRGB OLED panels we’ve known so far from LG, but this would come with significant improvements.
New method based on lithography for a more efficient OLED
The idea behind the new Japan Display panel fabrication system is to set aside systems based on evaporation of different layers or masks (FMM) and bet on what they call the acronym. eLEAP (environment favorable, unmasked Lithography Extremely long life, low power and high brightness and Any shape Modeling deposition) promises to improve existing panels, mainly a reduction in “white space” between sub-pixels.
According to them, their method achieves a result. 60% open rate 28% vs. classics more useful surface for emitting light and, however, less electric current density would be required to achieve the same brightness level. It’s kind of like what LG has accomplished with their last-gen EX panels, but apparently further developed.
eLEAP provides an increase in the efficiency of light emission and the peak brightness of the pixels. replicates previous FMM technologiesduration Extends panel life 3 times thus reducing possible retention or combustion problems.
In addition, this production system allows panel production to be scaled up to 8-Gen systems. Substrates up to 2200×2500 mm will allow the creation of televisions over 100 inches but also lower cost smaller diagonals.
When will we see it in the market? Japan Display says it’s already attracting manufacturers’ interest and hopes to start getting production samples ready. end of 2022which means that at least until the end of 2023, at the earliest, the first commercial displays won’t reach the market.
