OKI Digital Imaging says it has developed the first 1.1 inch QVGA LED display.
The main benefit of using LED technology is to reduce power and, according to Oki, the 1.1 inch display consumes one-tenth that of conventional LCDs.
The company said it had achieved enhanced luminance efficiency by mounting thin-film LEDs onto a metal board using a technology based on refinements of its proprietary Epi film bonding technology that permit two-dimensional deployment.
“The new technology has made it possible for us to develop a groundbreaking LED display that provides high definition images while maintaining compact dimensions,” said Hiroshi Kikuchi, president of OKI Digital Imaging.
The display uses an array of LEDs with 65nm spacing, which teh company said has the density to deliver high-definition images is a small scale display.
OKI will manufacture the LED display at the newly-acquired LED manufacturing facility in Gunma prefecture, Japan.
Shipments of samples are expected to begin by the end of fiscal year 2010.
