SXGA 096 Monochrome White OLED-XL (SXGA-096 MWXL)

The SXGA-096 OLED-XL device from eMagin Corporation is an active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) microdisplay intended for near-to-eye applications that demand high brightness, high resolution, high image quality, compact size, and low power. Combining a total of 4,015,536 active dots, the SXGA-096 display is built on a single crystal silicon backplane and features eMagin’s proprietary thin-film OLED XLS technology offering extended life and luminance performance.

The active array is comprised of 1292 x 1036 square pixels with a 9.6-micron pitch and a 75% fill factor. An extra 12 columns and 12 rows (beyond the 1280 x 1024 main array) are provided to enable the active SXGA-096 display to be shifted by steps of 1 pixel in the X and Y directions for optical alignment purposes. Additional dummy and test pixels surround the active array. Each full pixel is laid out as three 3.2 x 9.6 micron identical sub-pixels, which together form the 9.6-micron square RGB color group. Three primary color filter stripes are applied in alignment with the sub-pixels on a white-emissive OLED layer to form the color display.

The SXGA-096 design features eMagin’s proprietary “Deep Black” architecture that ensures off- pixels are truly black, automatically optimizes contrast under all conditions, and delivers improved pixel uniformity. In addition to its flexible matrix addressing circuitry, the SXGA-096 includes an internal 10-bit DAC that ensures 256 fully gamma-corrected gray levels, an on-chip set of look-up-tables for digital gamma correction, and a novel pulse-width-modulation (PWM) function that, together with the standard analog control, provides an extended dimming range. The PWM function also enables an impulse drive mode of operation that significantly reduces motion artifacts in high speed scene changes.

The SXGA-096 includes a very low-power, low-voltage-differential-signaling (LVDS) serialized interface for video data transport that minimizes the number of board interconnections and connector size, reduces electromagnetic emissions (EMI), and enables a lightweight and flexible cable link to a remote video source. Compatibility with standard LVDS drivers found in most commercially available FPGAs simplifies the system integrators task.
