With the launch of Micro- and Mini-LED displays by various OEMs and display vendors, the self-emissive LED-based displays have attracted tremendous attention by both investors and end-users. A selection of examples can be found below:

Industrial LCD manufacturer KOE (Kaohsiung Opto-Electronics) has announced the introduction of an easy-to-use display interface board. KARD, which is derived from a combination of ‘KOE’ and ‘Card’, has been designed and developed to provide a convenient, efficient solution to drive and evaluate KOE TFT display modules.

Display Technology has recently added two new wide temperature range AUO TFTs to their high bright range. The new G215HVN01.3 (21.5”) offers an operating temperature of -20 to +80°C and the G156HAN04.0 (15.6”) offers an operating temperature of -30 to +85°C making them suitable for outdoor applications.  

As increasing numbers of devices gain electronic functionality, many new applications will require some sort of display. This growth in functional, wirelessly connected devices is an exciting technological transition that could radically reshape how we interact with previously inanimate objects. The opportunities are especially pronounced for low-cost displays that can be incorporated into cheap and even disposable products.
