Organic EL Display (using CGS® technology)
We developed an active matrix organic EL display using CGS technology.
The active matrix type is suitable for a display with a large number of pixels. Such a display comprises nearly one million pixels, each of which has an organic EL element provided with TFTs. By controlling current supply to each pixel, longer life and lower power cconsumption were able to be achieved.
We have obtained many fundamental patents for this technology, nationally as well as internationally.
