Newhaven Full-color
OLED Display In recent years, OLED technology has seen a phenomenal increase in quality. While thin-film transistors (TFT) have been a mainstay in displays for years, OLEDs are becoming more prevalent as prices drop and image quality rises. The new, full-color OLED displays from Newhaven demonstrate the dramatic shift in quality over TFTs, exhibiting unprecedented color richness and clarity. Newhaven also supplies an OLED demo board that effectively illustrates the differences between TFT and OLED technology, using a 1.69-inch, 160x128 OLED display and a 1.8inch, 160x128 TFT display in a side-by-side view.

• Backlit TFT decreases contrast ratio
• 100x–1000x faster refresh to eliminate blurring
• Significantly decreases viewing angle

• 262,000 color depth
FEATURED PRODUCTS SUPPLEMENT
Specs The Newhaven demo board presents a side-by-side comparison of the two displaysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the TFT on the left and the OLED on the right. As you change the angle, you can see that the TFT display practically disappears except when facing it directly whereas the OLED display is visible from any angle. OLEDs generate light at each pixel, instead of being backlit like TFT displays, which gives it an incredible contrast ratio. To achieve black, the light source is turned off, meaning true black, where the TFTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backlight leaks through the LCD screen even when the pixels are off. Combined with this, the OLED has a 262,000 color depth, which, with this straight-on view, you can easily see the difference in the quality of the image. The OLED display also has a refresh time of approximately 10 microseconds, which enables very fluid transitions and animations. Between the viewing angle and contrast ratio, you can achieve an incredibly realistic image. Newhaven currently offers these in three different sizes: 1.27 inches, 1.5 inches, and 1.69 inches. These are great replacements for TFT displays, making any product pop with its image quality. Ideal for low-power, handheld consumer devices or medical displays where the ability to quickly and easily see data is essential. These can be embedded in any product where you need affordable, yet high-quality graphics.
