OLED microdisplays are increasingly establishing themselves in consumer-ready wearables and data glasses. In order to meet the requirements for higher efficiency, higher contrast, and higher resolutions in these applications, Fraunhofer FEP (Dresden, Germany) scientists have developed a new micropatterning approach for OLEDs on silicon substrates. This might eliminate the use of colour filters and shadow masks in the future and allow full-colour displays to be developed by means of a new process. An increase in efficiency and considerably broader colour gamut have already been demonstrated in first experiments. The results will be presented at the Fraunhofer FEP booth and during the poster session at IMID 2018 in Busan, South Korea, on 29-31 August 2018.
Seamless automotive cockpits controllable by touch or gestures, household appliances with a stylish dead front look and hidden control panel, plain surface finishes that reveal mood-setting backlit designs when approached – Leonhard Kurz (Fürth, Germany) will be presenting latest generation HMI applications at Fakuma. Visitors to the Kurz booth will be able to see a comprehensive range of surface decoration solutions, sensor technologies, and industrial sensor integration applications that offer scope for innovative HMI design and functionality.
SmartKem (Manchester, UK) has appointed Steven Tsai as senior applications engineer from Taiwanese display manufacturer AUO. He brings a wealth of expertise in understanding the needs and expectations of display makers and will be responsible for running trials with SmartKem’s manufacturing partners.
