Abstract
In October 1999, Eastman Kodak and Sanyo Electric jointly announced the development of a high quality, 2.4 inch diagonal Full Color active matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display. This technology demonstration resulted from the successful integration of Kodak's organic electroluminescence display technology and Sanyo's low temperature polysilicon TFT technology. Commercial samples are expected to reach the market in 2001. The active matrix OLED displays feature a wider viewing angle and a faster response speed than conventional LCDs. With its low power consumption, high brightness and thin design, these OLED displays when incorporated in digital cameras, personal digital assistants (PDA), videophones and other portable imaging devices, will offer a superior value proposition to consumer electronics products. Several OLED display designs are under development now to serve various market segments. This paper will summarize the status of active matrix full color OLED display development, the key technical challenges, and the path ahead.
