Fast growing specialist flat panel display supplier, Digital Displays, is now supplying Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) modules in the UK after signing an agreement with Chinese manufacturer Lite Array to sell it's comprehensive range of monochrome, area colour and full colour OLED display products.

Hong Kong based Lite Array is China's leading designer and manufacturer of OLED displays and was the first Chinese company to be granted a Kodak license. OLED modules currently in production range from 64 x 48 dot resolution blue displays, 132 x 64 dot area colour displays to 256k full colour 96 x 96 dot resolution modules. Lightning fast response times (up to 1000 times faster than LCD) mean that OLED's can display video data with ease.

Offering significant optical advantages over conventional LCD's OLED displays provide a wide viewing angle and high contrast making them highly legible in all lighting conditions. As OLED technology is 'emissive' the modules do not require a backlight, which reduces power consumption making them ideal for use in hand held and portable equipment.

With headquarters in Hong Kong and a manufacturing facility of 186,000 m2 in Guangdong, China, the plant includes 280m2 of class-10 and class-1000 clean rooms for the photolithography and organic deposition process.

Rodney Tietjen, MD of Digital Displays said: ' This is a really exciting opportunity for us, not only are we putting the latest display technology in front of our customers, we can do it in as little as 2-6 weeks and we can supply 256k colour modules with 96 x 96 resolution for only $12.00".
