The Fraunhofer institute showcase a bi-directional OLED microdisplays based on OLED-on-CMOS technology. The german institute are showing now a version that doubles as a dimensional sensor. Fraunhofer placed photodiodes between the organic pixels to create a bi-directional display.
Fraunhofer IPMS and IOF thank the Federal Ministry for Education and Research BMBF for funding the project “Integrated sensor emitter microsystem based on OLED” (ISEMO) under contract 16SV3682.
“By inverse-confocal imaging approach a point-source sensor with purely electronic scanning allows extremely compact sensor modules.”, explains Constanze Großmann from Fraunhofer IOF. “This opens completely new opportunities for machine integration.”
At the IMID 2011 a demonstrator will show both bi-directional OLED microdisplays as components (QVGA and VGA display resolution) as well as an example device setup for dimensional sensorics.

“That makes them predestined not only for augmented reality via interactive data eye glasses but also for applications in the optical inspection”, explains Uwe Vogel of Fraunhofer IPMS.
