While OLED technology has proven itself to be one of the best offerings in any type of panel, it hasn’t stagnated and we’ve seen it in recent years. significant improvement in brightnessThe contrast and overall image quality of the displays, thanks to a host of technologies that greatly enhance the capabilities of OLED.

We’ve been talking about the improvement provided by Samsung’s QD-OLED or the microlens matrix of the latest generation LG OLED televisions for a few months now. But we met in 2022 a technology that can revolutionize this industry thanks to a significant increase in brightness as a result of a larger subpixel size. We are talking about eLEAP technology.

What is eLEAP technology?

eLEAP technology (environment positive, Lithography with Maskless deposition, Extreme longevity, low power and high brightness, Any Shape Modeling) is developed by JDI (Japan Display) company. The goal is to develop OLED displays twice as efficiently. Twice brighter and three times longer lifetime than existing panels. And how is this achieved? According to the patent, the size of the subpixels is increased.

By increasing the size of the subpixels, the white space in them becomes smaller, and therefore, 60% open rate 28% compared to conventional panels. This allows more useful surface for emitting light and, however, less electrical current will be required to achieve the same brightness level.

Entry into production by 2025

Japan Display, which was born from the union of Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi, already has plans to start production of panels with eLEAP technology. The alliance with the Asian manufacturer HKC allows them to invest in the development of these panels and they calculate that mass production will start in 2025.

“JDI believes eLEAP and HMO (High Mobile Oxide) represent revolutionary, once-in-a-generation advances for panel technologies. Providing eLEAP and HMO to other display manufacturers, creating an entirely new global display ecosystem at an unprecedented cost. It’s an opportunity for performance to customers around the world.”

Japan Display’s goal is to develop OLED panels with eLEAP technology for monitors, laptops, tablets, VR, wearables and automotive. The company claims that they presented the first example of this technology to its customers in 2022.

With this idea, the company has developed a roadmap that they point to to achieve its goal of becoming the global No. 1 in distribution of eLEAP panels for wearables by 2027 and eLEAP panels for automotive, VR and monitors by 2028. They also expect to reach third place in laptops and tablets by 2028. But these are just guesses and things can change. Additionally, those responsible still need to sign the agreement, something that will happen next June.
