OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), as an emerging display technology, has attracted widespread attention since its inception. Compared with other types of display technologies, it has many advantages, such as higher brightness and contrast, richer color performance, wider viewing angles, faster response speed, easier production, etc. Therefore, as the technology continues to mature and commercialization further advances, more and more products have begun to adopt OLED display technology. This article will explain this issue in detail.

1. mobile phone

As a mobile device that is always with us, today's mobile phones have greatly relied on the performance and experience of the display, so the emergence of high-quality display technology like OLED is very important for mobile phones.

As early as 2008, companies have applied OLED technology to mobile phones, such as Samsung's i900 Omnia and HTC's T-Mobile G1. However, because the OLED technology at that time was not mature and the cost was much higher than other types of display technologies, the application of OLED in this field was not popular.

However, with the continuous development of OLED technology, its application in the mobile phone market has gradually been promoted. Nowadays, various mobile phone brands are actively developing and applying OLED technology screens. The most famous example is Samsung's flagship mobile phone: Galaxy series. Starting with the Galaxy S, Samsung has begun to use its own developed Super AMOLED technology, which can push the brightness and color performance of the screen to a new level. In addition, due to the flexibility of OLED, many mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to try to apply bendable OLED screens, such as Samsung's Galaxy Fold and Huawei's Mate X.

 

2. TV

In addition to mobile phones, OLED display technology is also widely used in the television field. On TVs, OLED technology can bring higher brightness and contrast, higher color performance and wider viewing angles. In addition, since TV screens are much larger than those of mobile phones, OLED technology has more obvious improvements in display quality in this field.

The market share of OLED TVs has just begun. Currently, OLED TVs on the market are mainly supplied by LG and Sony. However, in the future, the application prospects of this technology in the TV market are still very broad.

 

3. Laptop

As the application scenarios of laptops continue to expand, the screen quality of laptops is receiving more and more attention. Under this trend, OLED technology is gradually attracting attention from notebook computer manufacturers.

In 2019, Dell launched two laptops, the XPS 15 and XPS 17, both of which use OLED technology for their screens. According to Dell, the contrast ratio of their OLED screens is several times higher than that of ordinary LCD screens, and the color performance is also very good. Such a high level of display quality can enhance the user experience and allow users to complete their work faster and more comfortably. Since OLED technology is still relatively new in the notebook computer field, the potential in this field is still very large.

 

4. Cars

OLED technology can also be widely used in display devices such as automobile instrument panels and HUD (head-up displays). In these applications, the fast response speed and high contrast of OLED technology allow drivers to obtain vehicle information faster, which is very important because this information must be obtained quickly and accurately when driving at high speeds. In addition, richer colors and wider viewing angles also help improve the driver's experience.

Especially in the luxury car market (OLED is mainly provided by LG), Audi, Bentley, Mercedes, and Rolls Royce have all applied OLED displays, and even the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will continue to use OLED displays and replace complex physical button indicators with Full OLED virtual buttons.

 

5. Smart watch

Smart watches are also an area where OLED technology is applied. OLED screens can not only make smart watches more beautiful and fashionable, but also save more power, which also has an important impact on the usage time of smart watches in terms of battery life.

Smart wearable devices such as Apple Watch, Huawei Watch, Samsung Watch and various smart bracelets have already used OLED display technology. In particular, the OLED screen of Apple Watch S4 uses LTPO (low-temperature polysilicon alumina) technology, which not only saves more power, but also supports it = 1 partial refresh to achieve 60Hz picture smoothness. It is very impressive in terms of application and in-depth optimization.

 

6. Game console

Game consoles are also a potential application area for OLED technology. The reason is that the images that need to be displayed on the game console screen are extremely colorful and need to present more vivid and layered images. The high color performance and contrast of OLED screens can fully meet this demand.

Today, game consoles such as Sony’s PS Vita and Nintendo Switch have begun to apply OLED display technology. In addition, as OLED technology gradually matures, more excellent OLED game consoles may appear in the future.

 

Summarize:

As a new display technology, OLED technology shows great potential in various industries. From mobile phones, TVs, laptops, cars, smart watches to game consoles and other fields, OLED technology has gradually been widely used, and will bring more innovative breakthroughs in future development. It is not difficult to imagine that in the future, OLED technology will become people's first choice for high-quality displays.
