Currently, the displays manufactured with LED, OLED and AMOLED are no longer so mysterious to consumers. Still, one must keep in mind that the screens technologies did not stop in time and continue to receive more and more resources – while making more space in the market. With this, we must also know that keep popping up new varieties of these technologies.
What was once just an LCD display today may have light-emitting diodes (LED) to make the brightness is greater. These diodes can be organic (OLED) and can still count on active matrix (AMOLED) or passive (PMOLED). More than that, can present common glass structures and also plastic structures (P-OLED) … But wait! This name is new to us!
And it is! Plastic OLED screens are not in the international market, but it is matter of time for that to change. Chances are that as early as 2016 or 2017 the first smartphone to come to market with technology. I am curious to know what is the difference of these displays? So check now the explanation that we brought in this article.
Por organic that?
The concept of “organic” is not new, but may still be a bit confusing . As you learned in chemistry class -and as we recall here – the LEDs OLED consist of layers of carbon compounds. Why use them? Because they emit their own light and a much more efficient way than issuers who need other structures.
When electrically stimulated, the diodes emit light in millions of colors and with enough power to dispense with the use of backlights – which makes the LED TVs are just LCD with more lighting. This absence is also what enables the thickness of the OLED is so reduced. In short, no backlighting, some device layers are left out.
E where it enters the plastic?
By default, OLED panels are coated Glass structures – both at the bottom as at the top, and that’s what consumers play when they make their actions in smartphones. The upper layer is called “sealing” and lower than “substrate”, being quite rigid and resistant structures, but which have little flexibility for manufacturers. That’s when come the possibilities brought by OLEDs Plastics.
The main benefits that are promised by the new material are the possibilities to build more thin, flexible panels. This is because the entire structure is modified:. Instead of a TFT layer (thin film transistor) glass, OLEDs, the encapsulating glass and the polarizer, it is summarized TFT plastic, OLEDs have encapsulated and the polarizer
As you can see in the screenshot above, there is a great reduction in the thickness of the entire system – if we compare with a common LCD display, the reductions are even greater. Ultimately, this allows the devices emerge with enough lightness and minimum thickness, and can still be applied advanced flexibility features to the devices.
plastic or polymer
Despite we are already hearing the “P” as plastic since LG started investing in technology, it must be said that the origin is in her “polymers”. Common OLEDs are created with very small particles of organic materials, while P OLEDs are manufactured with higher polymers with plastic substances.
flexible screens already on the market
You may have seen the smartphone LG G Flex 2. The device has curved screen and flexible 5.5 inches, allowing users to have enough comfort in use. This curve on the display is only possible because the manufacturer has chosen to use the P-OLED technology for the device. This flexibility allows it also has a regenerative design, which brings very good security.
It is worth mentioning that this machine also has Gorilla Glass, so users perceive the presence of glass on the device – not just plastic. Also from LG, the G Watch smartwatch R has the same P-OLED technology, which brings flexibility and resistance to the smart watch. In the coming years, chances are that LG put several other devices with P-OLED in the market.
It is possible that other manufacturers leave for the same segment soon. There still can not say what will they not when the new devices will be launched, but by examining other trends of recent years and the acceptance that the OLED Plastic has received, it is hard to imagine that it is restricted to a single manufacturer – still remembering that LG itself can license the product to other companies, like Apple.
And in the future?
Recently, leaked a supposed LG roadmap image showing the possible steps the company in P-OLED market. According to the leak, between 2013 and 2015 investments of the Korean manufacturer would be the production of smartphones with curved and slightly flexible displays, and this could also be taken to the wearables.
Since then and for years to come, there is information that LG was also planning tablets with more flexible displays – with plans for automotive products arise with the advanced technology. And 2017 onwards, high expectations are the possibilities of folding screens and “roller” – will some day it may be taken to televisions
Do not confuse with PMOLED
It is well important not to confuse the P-OLED screens with PMOLED screens. While the former are all described in this article – composed of organic diodes encapsulated in plastic – the latter are common passive matrix OLEDs activated. This means that OLEDs are displays with indirect activation of pixels -. You can check out more about it at this link
