Smart OLEDs Give Simple Micros Display Capability – Quickly!

Sept. 25, 2007 - PRLog -- Pittsford, NY: microOLED is the easiest way to add a small color display with sophisticated text/graphics/animations to your next project. microOLEDs are compact, cost-effective, ready-made smart organic LED displays with a full-color embedded graphics controller that will deliver ‘stand-alone’ emissive display capability to any PIC, AVR, Basic Stamp, ARM or any other microcontroller - even a PC.  Simple-to-use embedded commands over a serial interface not only control background color but can produce text in a variety of sizes as well as draw shapes, including user-defined bitmap characters (signs, logos, etc.) in 262,000 colors, freeing up the host processor from processor-hungry screen control functions.
With pixel resolutions from 96 x 64 to 160 x 128 and sized from 0.97” to 1.69” diagonal, these unique display solutions offer up to 262K true-to-life colors, and need no backlighting since they are self-illuminating and give near 180° viewing. Driven from a serial RS-232 or USB interface, these OLED solutions provide graphics commands such as: LINE, CIRCLE, RECTANGLE, TEXT, USER BITMAP, BACKGROUND COLOR, PUT PIXEL, IMAGE, etc.  
Requiring 3.6 - 6V @ 40mA, they make an ideal interface for handheld or medical equipment, or for automotive or advertising use. Some in the microOLED series even have an on-board micro-SD memory card socket for storing up to 1GB of icons, images, animations, etc.
microOLEDs are made in Australia by 4D Systems and are available now from their USA distributor Saelig Co. Inc. Pittsford NY.  from $66 and up.  1-888-7SAELIG info@saelig.com  www.saelig.com
