Sony develops ‘rollable’ OLED display

EETimes.com – Sony develops ‘rollable’ OLED display.

LONDON — Sony Corp. has developed a highly flexible OLED display that can be rolled around a pencil and continue to operate.The 4.1-inch diagonal isplay is 80-microns thick and offers 432 by 240 by RGB pixels resolution at 121 pixels per inch. It is an organic LED full color display driven by an organic thin-film transistor matrix.

The key to the display is the use of a peri-Xanthenoxanthene (PXX) derivative with eight times the current modulation of conventional OTFTs. This was achieved due to the development of integration technologies of OTFTs and OLEDs on an ultra-thin 20-micron thick flexible substrate together with soft organic insulators for all the insulators in the integration circuit.

The panel is capable of reproducing moving images while being repeatedly rolled-up and stretched around a cylinder with a radius of 4-mm. Sony is set to unveil the display on May 27 at the Society for Information Display 2010 International Symposium in Seattle.
