HYPOLED is a collaborative project of European partners funded under the STREP scheme of the European Commission’s (EC) Frame Programme 7 (FP7, ICT-2007.3.2-217067). The project is targeted towards “High-Performance OLED-Microdisplays for Mobile Multimedia HMD and Projection Applications” and commenced in January 2008. Core of the project is the development of a new, all-digital VGA OLED microdisplay, combined with optics for head-mounted displays (HMD) and micro-projection as well as a MediaBox for providing connectivity to DVB-T, DVB-H and WiFi.
During the Year 1 review (March 2009) EC and external reviewers had already acknowledged good project progress.
Now after Month 18 the following intriguing intermediate
results may be presented:
A new all-digital VGA full-color OLED microdisplay backplane has been designed by Fraunhofer IPMS in a 0.18 ?m commercial CMOS process and is currently under prototype manufacturing, Micro-projector optics (matching HYPOLED VGA
microdisplay) has been developed by Fraunhofer IOF and publicly demonstrated, The MediaBox connectivity to DVB-T, DVB-H (MPEG- 2/4 streaming) and WiFi has been implemented by Fraunhofer IPMS on a low-power multimedia
processor platform (Samsung S3C6400) and has been demonstrated.
