OSD Displays recently introduced a new low-cost 1.5-inch color OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display. The 1.60mm-thin display is suitable for next-generation ID, security cards, programmable cards and other audio and video applications.

The display features the new SSD1338 driver IC that supports 262.000 color depth and it offers enhanced full color images.

Here are some specs: Size: 1.5 inch; Number of colors: 262.144; Active area (mm): 26.86 x 26.86; Module construction: COF; Panel size (mm): 36 x 36 x 1.7; Pixel Pitch (mm): 0.07 x 0.21; Pixel Size (mm): 0.048 x 0.19.

The smallest OLED display is a monochrome (blue) 0.66 inch one, with a 64 x 48 resolution and overall dimensions of 21 x 18.4 x 2.2 mm. The smallest full color OLED display is the 0.95 inch model, with a 96 x RGB x 64 resolution, and overall dimensions of: 27.2 x 21.5 x 1.6 mm. It works with a TCP SSD1332 interface.

If you are wondering who is OSD, here is that information, as found on the producer's site:

One Stop Display's President and CEO Khaled Khuda has been a cornerstone of the display industry for the past 15 years. In 1992, he set out to lead one of the first companies involved in the LCD display migration from Japan to Taiwan. He established Display International as an associated company to sell, develop, and modify liquid crystal displays from Data International, LTD of Taiwan. Display International eventually was renamed Data International of North America (?DINA?) and established a familiar name in the LCD industry for many years. Under his sales experience, Data International Taiwan broadened their range of products, sales, and production facilities. In January 2003, Mr. Khuda sold specific assets in LCD technologies for the goal of pursuing new business ventures in emerging technologies and production capabilities away from the core competency of DINA.

In August of 2003, Mr. Khuda established One Stop Displays (OSD). OSD is proud to feature advanced display technologies such as Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) enhanced AMLCD displays. OSD features both analog and digital solutions for aSi and LTPS TFT displays. One Stop Displays is also the premier source for Polymer Organic LED displays (pLED, or LEP) and Small Molecule Organic LED displays (SMOLED, or OLED). The company received a well received welcome to the industry, and has since broadened its US sales and engineering locations for providing its display products and manufacturing services.

In Q4 2004, OSD was divided to separate its products from its services. OSD was proud to introduce Universal EMS (UEMS) dedicated to developing board assemblies, sub-assemblies, and even full OEM product development. OSD has since broadened its standard product line for monochrome, area color, and full color organic displays, and added additional TFT products for needs in surplus of 10-inch in diagonal.
