OLED technology at ELETOR

Examples of OLED displays in electronic devices

In an archived project, ELETOR prepared SC-series controllers to work with Winstar OLED displays. The work included panel software and testing modules in SC-S and SC-12 devices.

What does OLED technology change?

An OLED display emits light from its own elements and does not require separate backlighting. In the project described, the readability of the indicators, contrast and the module's suitability for the way the controller is operated were important.

Testing different colours

At ELETOR, modules in white, blue, green, yellow and amber were compared. The assessment covered not only the panel's appearance, but also the manufacturer's information about the service life of the individual versions. The properties of a specific module should be checked in its datasheet.

A stage in the development of the devices

At the time of publication, pilot use of OLED was planned for the next batch of SC-12 units. The photographs below preserve examples of displays being brought into operation in ELETOR panels. This description relates to that stage of the work, not to the equipment fitted to every controller currently sold.
