INT Tech. announced that its first offering, an ultra-high pixel-density display (UHPD™) platform that will dramatically improve the user experience with digital devices. The UHPD platform provides the highest-density glass-based RGB Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode (AMOLED) display for robotic surgical devices, military head-mounted displays (HMDs), and virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) headsets. The company also introduced a second platform, smart pixel and IC (SPIC). As a board-level solution that supports the integration of multiple sensors on the same backplane as the display, SPIC allows designers to make an entire display into a live sensing area. INT plans to demonstrate both technologies at Booth 60511, Las Vegas Convention Center, South Plaza during CES® 2019 (January 8-11 in Las Vegas, Nevada). UHPD Technology: INT’s UHPD platform is a proprietary glass-based red/green/blue (RGB) AMOLED display that delivers a leap forward in pixel density (> 2200ppi) — and achieves 4K resolution. As a high-definition platform enabling greater realism in displays of all sizes, UHPD offers significant benefits to developers of robotic surgical systems, military and industrial HMDs, and other head-worn display applications. UHPD provides: Highest PPI on Glass — INT’s 2228ppi demo display sets a new pixel-density standard, eliminates screen door effect and dramatically increases image sharpness. Larger Field of View (FOV) — INT’s glass-based display can be made much larger than silicon-based OLEDs, to provide a larger FOV at lower cost. Smart Pixel IC (SPIC) Technology: INT’s proprietary SPIC technology enables the integration of multiple sensors, including fingerprint, eye tracking, ambient light, proximity and other sensors, on the same backplane as the display. Based on thin-film transistor (TFT) process and developed on glass or flexible substrate, SPIC is ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) and biosensor applications. SPIC provides: Larger Sensing Area — Sensing areas can be as large as the whole display because sensors are developed on glass or flexible substrate and are integrated with the backplane. This contrasts with silicon-based displays, which require a separate layer for the sensors, increasing thickness while limiting potential active sensing areas. Lower Cost – Compared to silicon-based sensors, glass- or flexible substrate- based sensors can be developed in flat panel fabs and manufactured at much lower cost.
