For the First time in OLED history comes with a new creation that will makes a possibility for chances. Microdisplays based on OLEDs for Multi-media application could be set up an integrate highly and efficient light sources with photo detectors on a CMOS backplane. This will enables the micro-scale optical emitters and receivers on the same chip providing a device that presents and captures images at the same time. Now, this chip measures 19.3 by 17 millimeters fitted on the prototype eyeglasses behind the hinge. The Research scientists use OLEDs to produce microdisplays of particularly high luminance. The monochrome display has a features of 320x240 pixel resolution controlled by video interface. The OLED pixel matrix is interleaved with an array of 320 x 240 photo diodes, which are internally connected to form a miniature imager of 4 x 3 pixels.

Featuring also;

Brightness: >1000 cd / m²
OLED efficiency: >15 cd /A
Display resolution: VGA (640 x 480 pixels)
Display size: ca. 0.5"
Camera resolution: 50 x 50 pixels.

OLED microdisplays are already used in the gaming industry and design applications. eMagin manufactures active matrix OLED-on-silicon microdisplays, based on its own patent portfolio as well as its OLED license from Eastman Kodak. Their Z800 3DVisor enables users to "see" their data in full 3D-surround viewing with just a turn of the head. Gamers can immerse themselves "virtually inside" their games, or designers, publishers and engineers can view multiple drawings and renderings as if they were each laid out on an artist's table, even in 3D. Reports said that they will start to produce this OLED microdisplay by the end of 2009.
