Because the display is thin, lightweight and bright in a variety of light conditions, PolyLED is ideally suited for applications ranging from small appliances to advanced mobile devices. Not only does PolyLED’s debut on the silver screen in a Philips shaver mark the first use of this technology in a consumer product; but it also shows just how ubiquitous displays have become in our everyday lives.” A significant force in the display industry, Philips has taken a leadership role in the commercialization of PolyLED technology, which holds much promise for capturing a significant share of the small- and medium-sized flat panel display market over the next five years. The performance benefits surrounding Philips’ PolyLED technology are manifold, including a wide viewing angle (greater than 170 degrees), superior readability under a variety of lighting conditions, as well as high brightness and contrast capabilities. PolyLED is also heralded for its thin and compact form factor, long lifetime, low power consumption, fast response time and the ability to operate under extreme temperature ranges. Moreover, Philips has demonstrated that this high value-add display technology can be manufactured at high yields and at a low cost—making it an ideal solution for OEMs looking to bring next-generation consumer products to market.
