MicroOLED's 5.4 million pixel low-power OLED display.

MicroOLED, Grenoble, France, a maker of microdisplays for near-to-eye applications has introduced a new 5.4 million pixel density 0.61 inch diagonal, low power consumption OLED microdisplay on silicon for applications such as professional camera and camcorder equipment, night vision systems and head-mounted displays used in surgery.

The compact display, which has a sub-pixel pitch of 4.7x4.7μm, which MicroLED claims is the highest pixel density OLED microdisplay available. “By doubling the pixel density of comparable products, we have eliminated the gap between pixels,” said Eric Marcellin-Dibon, CEO of MicroOLED.

“With no black matrix present, the resulting image resolution is of the highest quality, which makes this display most suitable for defense, medical and professional camera applications that demand sharp images with very smooth transitional tones.”

High contrast (maximum 100,000:1) and high uniformity (96 per cent) also play key roles in picture quality. Depending on how one drives the OLED microdisplay, it can perform using as low as 0.2W, half the power consumption of other products in its category. MicroOLED achieves this low level power consumption even when the fully digital video input is embedded.
