New OLED Displays Offer Substantial Cost Savings

Users of Passive Matrix OLED (PMOLED) know that both low and high voltage supplies are required to power up a PMOLED. Whilst high voltage can be created using a low voltage supply together with a number of external components, for example, DC/DC converter chip, capacitor, inductor and sometimes resistor, all these additional parts can increase costs. To address this issue, Densitron has launched a new range of PMOLED displays, which includes DD-2864BY-3A (0.96”), DD-12864WE-4A (0.96”), and DD-9616BE-2A (0.84”), that comes with in-built DC/DC charge pumps. The displays are ideal for low power handheld devices and high-end industrial applications. With the new embedded feature, only a single low voltage supply (3.3V-4.2V) and three add-on capacitors are required to power up each display, bringing up to 90% savings on the costs associated with external components normally required for a PMOLED.
